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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony "omega" Sergi Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2007 12:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Recent Steam Problems -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] This is something that's being fixed, but for now extract hl2mp's steam.infand put it in the empires folder on the _server_.
