I'm not sure where on the wiki it shows these in quotes, but on the page I referenced, where I got the examples from, it most definitely does not put these in quotes. However, this makes some sense as it is easier to parse parameters if they are in quotes, rather than try to figure out what value goes with what parameter. I'm just guessing on this, idk what algorithm they use to parse command line parameters.

Putting these in quotes, like this:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir d:\gb1 +app_set_config "90 mod gearbox" +app_update "90 validate" +quit

on the first pass it actually downloaded the valve content. It also downloaded cstrike content, which I neither wanted nor asked for. It did not, and will not, download gearbox content. A step in the right direction - now how to force it to download gearbox content?

So I loaded steamcmd, and from the steamcmd command line did this:

+app_set_config 90 mod gearbox
app_update

And when I did that it downloaded gearbox content. Not sure why it wouldn't work by passing the above parameters.

Is it me or is steamcmd a bit on the buggy side?

Shouldn't the +app_set_config value be in quotes?
For example: +app_set_config "90 mod gearbox"

I'm pretty sure that's explicitly stated on the wiki. Also app update should be +app_update "90 validate"

    So once again it is fun and games with steamcmd. This time I'm
    trying to
    get a clean install of hlds/gearbox. Using the example from
    https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD, I'm doing this:

    steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir d:\gb1
    +app_set_config 90
    mod gearbox +app_update 90 validate +quit

    It does this:

    d:\steamcmd>steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir d:\gb1
    +app_set_config
    90 mod gearbox +app_update 90 validate +quit

    d:\steamcmd>

    At which point I have the basic hlds files in my root directory, but
    neither valve nor gearbox content has been downloaded. If run it
    again
    (and again...and again), the same things happens. It won't download
    either valve or gearbox content.

    So, I remove the mod gearbox from the command line, and it does
    the same
    thing. What am I missing? More specifically, how do you get
    steamcmd to
    download hlds and gearbox content?
