If I've figured this correctly, the only mods that have an appid are the
ones that have their own dedicated folder (ie: Counter-Strike) with
their own hl.exe
/steamapps/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Counter-Strike
/steamapps/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Half-Life
/steamapps/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Day of Defeat
etc.
They have the mod folders "cstrike", "valve" and "dod" inside them too,
so you end up using -game anyway don't you? o.O

yes and creating a desktop shortcut for svencoop uses:

steam.exe -applaunch 70 -game svencoop

Thus why I first checked if this is a known mod (ie cstrike) and if so use
the proper appid else use the -game option.

not all mods have an appid, least not at this time.

i thought people knew about it, but you can right click the menu item
and create a desktop icon, just look at the path for the game id

The only problem I saw with using the -game option is that it displays the
default half life splash screen on game launch instead of the mod (ie
cstrike) splashscreen. What I did in phpUA is check an array to see if the
applaunch id is known and use it else use the -game deal.

      // need to add source mods
      $appid_list = array( 10=>'cstrike',
                           20=>'tfc',
                           30=>'dod',
                           40=>'dmc',
                           50=>'gearbox',
                           60=>'ricochet',
                           70=>'valve',
                           80=>'czero'
                         );

      $appid = array_search( $info["mod_dir"], $appid_list );
      if ( isset($appid) ) {
          $steam_launch_string = "steam: -applaunch " . $appid . " +connect " . $ip . 
":" . $port;
      } else {
          $steam_launch_string = "steam: -applaunch 70 -game " . $info['mod_dir'] . " +connect " 
. $ip . ":" . $port;

      }
