As far as I know, games has a normal name like "counter-strike", "half-life 2 deathmatch", "dedicated server" etc. these games uses their own gcf-s like "counter-strike.gcf", "dedicated server.gcf", or your example: "team fortress 2 client content.gcf" AND their base engine gcf files (counter-strike: half-life.gcf, half-life engine.gcf, half-life base content.gcf while counter-strike source: sourceinit.gcf, source models.gcf, source sounds.gcf etc etc etc).
The games "normal name" are the same as the game's directories name inside player's directory. 2009/10/27 Darien Hager <[email protected]> > The short version: I have a Steam AppId number.
