Setting the game directory

I have a fully compiled and working copy of Source SDK Base 2013 running and i have been asking this question for ages but how do you change the game directory name from "hl2" to something else and get it to launch the game correctly?

I've never done anything with 2013, so somebody else probably has a better solution. I just got it to work by doing this:
  • Change every instance of "hl2" in hl2's gameinfo.txt to "test".
  • Rename the hl2 folder from "hl2" to "test".
  • Add -game test in the launch parameters.
The only issue I noticed in the first map was missing chapter titles. Pinsplash (talk) 01:09, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
