[hlds_linux] can't get past bootstrapper version
OK, I created my account, and ran my ./steam -update line: ./steam -update cstrike /home/server/hlds3/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] p4ssw0rd Y /hlds3/ folder had an existing 3110 install. the first time, i received this: Checking Bootstrapper Version Updating installation CMultiFieldBlob(pSerialized): Null pSerialized I had no idea what that meant, I searched today's posts for it but didn't find anything. I remembered something about a blob file, and someone saying delete it. So, I just deleted everything (even dirs) inside of my hlds3 folder, so that Steam would think it is a brand new install. Then I run my steam update line again. Now, all I get is: Checking Bootstrapper Version... forever...like i waited 25 minutes, and nothing happened. This box is on an OC-x (dont remember exactly) pipe, so I dont think it is timing out due to bandwidth... even so, wouldn't I get 'Updating installation' if it was? I went into #steam on gamesnet to get some help, but, I was discouraged to see that Nathan Dodd is one of the OPs/Helpers (as an indication of the expertise level; no offense to anyone else helping in there), so I figured I am not going to get the answers I need in there. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Checking Bootstrapper Version... I had that too for quite some time, I can only guess they were working on the servers as mine has now gone away. Retry.

according to the blob-file deletion you would type: # rm -rf ~/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob On Thu, 11 Sep 2003, Tony Di Schino wrote: OK, I created my account, and ran my ./steam -update line: ./steam -update cstrike /home/server/hlds3/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] p4ssw0rd Y /hlds3/ folder had an existing 3110 install. the first time, i received this: Checking Bootstrapper Version Updating installation CMultiFieldBlob(pSerialized): Null pSerialized I had no idea what that meant, I searched today's posts for it but didn't find anything.

From memory... You have to install to an existing hlds install and something about a hidden file in your USER directory, /home/hlds or whatever. Seems like this WAS covered today or last night or something.

Re: [hlds_linux] can't get past bootstrapper version
From memory... You have to install to an existing hlds install I do not beleive that to be true. That means I have to install 311x before I install 3120? that doesn't jive. something about a hidden file in your USER directory, /home/hlds or whatever. Seems like this WAS covered today or last night or something. I wil check into this hiden file thing, that does seem to ring a faint bell... Sorry for being NOT helpful... I have more to go on now than i did 10 minutes ago, so it was of some worth. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

I read and reread the readme... it mentions if you use Y on the first execution of your ./steam line (so that it will remember the info) that afterwards you dont need it. so i tried just ./steam -update cstrike. All of a sudden my install is in business, and in the folder i specified on the first instance of the run line. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

You have an old install, it will be updated. If you don't, it will be a full download. On Thu, 2003-09-11 at 23:12, Tony Di Schino wrote: From memory...
