The Wizard Wars team is asking me to fix a few bugs, and one of them is to see if I can get Wizard Wars to run on Steam. So, I copied the wizwars folder over to Steam's HL folder where all the other old mods are. I opened Steam and ran Wizard Wars. I clicked Create Server, selected a map, and clicked start. Then I got the error in this e-mail's subject when it was "Starting local game server." I'm not sure what to do here, but I'm sure someone here knows.
