I think he has a good point. I'm guessing that the .so file isn't available from hldsupdatetool (steam - why on earth call the linux version steam? that makes no sense...) because valve can't distribute it for some obscure legal reasons. File Planet and several other download sites can distribute it, but Valve can't.
The alternative explanation are that Valve didn't know it's been missing all these years (unlikely) or Valve just doesn't care and cant' be bothered to add it. I like to think that they can't do it rather then they just haven't bothered. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Zimmermann" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 5:28 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] OP4 Missing opfor_i386.so > You seriously have the worst email possible. > > -Mike > > > > On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 6:52 PM, <[email protected]> > wrote: >> I'm quite impressed today.
