Hi Justin- SteamAppId 215 is associated with 'Source SDK Base' which showed up last week on the Tools page in Steam. If someone has *bought* a Source SDK game they are authorized for this tool which contains the latest engine. The end users will not need to explicitly install 'Source SDK Base' - Steam will take care of downloading it for them when they run the MOD.

After we switched to using "320" to use the Episode 1 engine, our players complained of having to download HL2 DM to play. Does "215" allow those with the HL2 Demo to play? I'm curious if I have to program some extra detection with this to make sure that griefers can't use the HL2 Demo to get a new Steam ID to avoid bans.
