Thanks. I'm a little confused by how the mods will work. The FAQ says:
"If you want to add a mod after installing Steam, you need only to put it in the Steam/SteamApps/your_email_address/Half-Life directory. The next time you open the "My Games" list it will be listed under "Third Party Games." If I launch Half-Life normally, "hl.exe" is in a completely different directory than Steam. If the mods are actually installed into the "Steam/SteamApps..." directory, are you saying that "hl.exe" will actually know to load the client.dll for the mod from the Steam directory? Or is the step mentioned in the FAQ only if you want the mod to show up in the Steam game browswer? -----Original Message----- > 2. Is it possible for a 3rd party app to connect to a server the way > it always has? Or must it launch "steam.exe" and pass an appropriate > command line? If so, I assume that "steam.exe" is replacing "hl.exe"? > You can run just like before (i.e run hl.exe). This will cause steam.exe to spawn and then launch the game, but this will be transparent to you. _______________________________________________ hlds_apps mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_apps
