Re: [hlcoders] Recent Steam Problems
Is there anyway for players with only Counterstrike to play mods? I have players complaining to me because they only have Counterstrike and can't play my mod even though they can get the Source SDK Base. The server ends up requiring them to have HL2 DM because of the steam.inf issue. If it's not possible, is there an ETA on the fix? Mike Durand wrote: Tony's workaround is the best advice right now. The problem is that we don't yet have the notion of source SDK base for dedicated servers. So the 'steam.inf' on your client is probably coming from 'sourcetest' if that's what is first in your search path. And on the dedicated server it's probably getting the steam.inf from 'hl2mp'. Hence the mismatch. We'll be putting out a version of steam for Linux that includes Source SDK Base as an installation option. Once this is done you should get rid of any 'steam.inf' files that you needed to copy in order to work around this. Mods shouldn't have to distribute that file. -Mike ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
