Is there any way to mount more than one gcf? --Megiddo 10:19, 29 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Garry's Mod Eight and higher does it with GameMount.txt.

It seems that he did it via some code, that it's not part of the engine --Megiddo 19:22, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Use something like this:

filesystem->AddSearchPath("cstrike", "GAME");

filesystem->MountSteamContent(220);

filesystem->MountSteamContent(240);

filesystem->MountSteamContent(320);

In DLLInit() for example. --Jerry (MrU on VERC) 04:54, 27 Dec 2005 (PST)

Anyone know the gameinfo.txt entry which will fill the "manual" field in the mods properties? I have tried: manual "http://dystopia-game.com/newplayerguide", no workies. --Fuzzy 22 Oct 2005

Currently it only reads manualurls from your client blob—ts2do ^(talk) 14:43, 21 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Half-Life 1?

How about on Half-Life 1? Is it possible to change game titles and add icons in for them? --MenZa 9 Nov 2005

liblist.gam would be your place to start Amckern

I believe not—ts2do ^{(Talk | ›)} 09:33, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)

Boolean?

nocrosshair	boolean			//Hides the crosshair selection menu in Options' Multiplayer tab.
nohimodel	boolean			//Unknown
nomodels	boolean			//Unknown

is it a requirement for these to have a 1/0 or does true/false also work. I messed around with it but i didnt see a difference if i changed it or if i removed them... Bob 21:07, 26 Dec 2005 (PST)

1 and 0 only—ts2do ^(Talk | @) 00:24, 27 Dec 2005 (PST)

Titles are not correct displayed

"GameInfo"
{
	// This is what shows up in the 'Third Party Games' area of the Steam games list.
	game						"Pheonix Squad"
	title						"Pheonix Squad"
	title2						"Protectors of City 23"

So the Problem is that in-game the Titles were written in the wrong font (I think the Icons for the Weapons etc.). I don't know if this is the right place to post (it is the first post here) but I hope you can help me.

Feel free to ransack MINERVA for any useful files - I had to do some font-overriding in that as well. Oh, and it's spelt 'phoenix', 'phœnix' if you're being really pretentious... ;-) —Cargo Cult _{(info, talk)} 12:22, 23 May 2006 (PDT)

Anyone have problems w/ the little icon in steam not showing up? I made a 16x16 .tga pic w/ 32 bit colors, put it in same directory as gameinfo.txt and set the icon field but it does not show up. Any ideas? Thanks. --Daktor 11:38, 23 May 2006 (PDT)

I'm having the same problem. In fact, none of my 3rd party mods are registering the gameinfo.txt keys. (such as icon, developer, devloper_url, etc) I'm reinstalling the Source SDK right now. --FViral 15:23, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

Completely uninstalled Steam and reinstalled it, same problem. If anyone can shine some light on the problem I'd be thanful. --FViral 19:25, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

Yes...since the "My Media" update, most of the mod support has been revoked..it should be fixed soon—ts2do 20:10, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

gameinfo.txt's for older games?

OK, I recently bought the half life 1 anthology and I would like to try mapping for team fortress classic. I have the most recent version of hammer and went to set up for tfc only to find none of the 4 half life 1 games had an gameinfo. I've searched google and this developer wiki but found nothing that seems helpfull... Has anyone got a gameinfo.txt or even a tutorial for setting up in the latest version of hammer for tfc?
