Talk:Source Mod Installers

Hopefully it works...someone test it out and give me your results—ts2do ^(talk) 21:56, 21 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Done...works well—ts2do ^(talk) 21:26, 23 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Anybody manage to get the zipfile functionality working? As I can tell you have to include the zipfile and the installer together :\ It would be nice if the zip was packed into the installer. --^Ben 11 Feb 2006

Well...this method does work because it does get to deleting the zip but if you can find a zip file integration sort of thing, that'd be nice—ts2do 00:40, 28 Jun 2006 (PDT)

You can use iexpress to compress the files into the one installer - just click start>run>iexpress and follow the wizard - however iexpress WILL NOT work with folders - everything has to be in the same location. --Amckern 15:24, 29 Jan 2007 (PST)

In the $10 version of HL2DM, there is no SourceModInstallPath in the registry. Anyone know a good work-around for this problem? --Daktor 19:42, 14 Aug 2006 (PDT)

The installer code automatically allows you to set your path manually if this is the case. Give me more info on this so-called "$10 HL2DM"—ts2do 20:08, 14 Aug 2006 (PDT)

$10 version Yah I tried setting manually, but that can cause problems if the user installed to a non-default directory. Another odd thing about the $10 version is that when you add mods to the sourcemods directory and restart steam, the mod does not show up. You can still launch the mod using shortcuts though. --Daktor 10:02, 15 Aug 2006 (PDT)

Seems to be a Steam problem rather than an installer problem then—ts2do 10:05, 15 Aug 2006 (PDT)

Yeah, true. I guess the best work-around is to always force the user to give their sourcemods path since can't rely on registry. Thanks. --Daktor 10:17, 15 Aug 2006 (PDT)

If you report the problem to Valve, I think it'd be fixed quickly—ts2do 13:33, 15 Aug 2006 (PDT)
