True ... Valve could add to Steam, (as a "New" mod) the old CS 1.5 but I bet they wont. Because why continue to support two code bases? It's gone people ... Say goodbye.

This is basically how Opposing force is supported. While the mod is added to the games list by valve, the dll that is used on opposing force is a WON dll. The hlds servers are WON dll's as well ... in beginning the mod wasn't included in the HLDS update tool so we botched servers up... this lead to the discovery that really any multi-player mod can be used on steam and that hlds servers can be made up for them I have just got CS 1.5 on the games list, though not done any massive testing... the maps show up in the create server dialogue, and its really easy to do Copy the cstrike folder from your WON install to the following path C:\program files\steam\steam apps\<username>\half-life\ Rename the folder to something like cstrike15, this allows the mod to show up under the games list (cstrike is used for 1.6.) Then restart steam. You should now have counter-strike under the 3rd party section in the games list That's CS 1.5 on steam! HLDS servers are done in much the same way. Copy the folder into the server directory and use the +game to start it. Vac does not work on steam for CS 1.5 Another downside possibly is the log lines on the HLDS servers will not include steam ids... but this can be worked around using metamod and a plug-in As a suggestion if people are seriously planning on doing this possibly changing the liblist.gam file game line to something like game "Counter-Strike 1.5" So you get 2 different options on the server browser... 2 Screens of it working for the non-believers :D :P http://www.digifu.demon.co.uk/cs15.jpg http://www.digifu.demon.co.uk/game.jpg DarK -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of K.

CS 1.5 does not work with steam Look for the WON dll's in the top folder. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 1:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] is WON being switch off end of this month ? I found this on CSNation - posted a few days ago. Chances are it is actually legit! WON Closing This Month MikeJ @ 11:24 - cstrike pc - 59 comments - hot topic (new comments!) The archaic but popular authentication system for Half-Life servers, WON, will be shut down by the end of the month according to the new greet message received when connecting to a WON-auth'd server. The message reads: PLEASE NOTE: WON authentication servers will be phased out by the end of the month. In order to update to CS 1.6, please download Steam at http://www.steampowered.com immediately. It looks like even the most stubborn will have to rejoin the living; I hear CS 1.5 works on Steam! Thanks for the heads up le gritche.
