Tony, following is not the problem, understanding it. debugging requires the steam.dll to be in the half-life dir so I put it in there but the game will no longer work because some "The local Steam service is not running" error. I put steamapp.cfg but that doest do anything. Then when I delete the dll and leave the steamapp.cfg i get the same error. Neither files work! How do i set up steamapp? here is mine
SteamAppId=70 SteamAppVersionId=0 SteamInstallPath= c:\steam\steam.exe SteamAppUser=whocares furthermore what is SteamAppUser. my email, or my username or does it matter?
