"I'll solve equations with my right hand...
And with my left hand, I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!"

>>>Yagami Light knows his chips.<<< (From DeathNote)

I like lots of chips though. Plain SunChips are alright. But I'll take Sea Salt & Vinegar if its not already stale on the shelf (Ms Vickies, I'm looking at you). I prefer Tim's cascade style.

On a fresh OS install (drive formatted, etc) then steam, then TF2 I sometimes don't see all my info. However, the second time I start TF2 its all there...

So start TF2 a second time. If its still missing info (your inventory, achevements, etc) then its connecting to an account that doesn't have it. Go to the properties of TF2 on the main steam window and look for the "use Steam Cloud" checkbox, make sure its checked and then start again.

I think that AD&D name generator is still floating around the internetz.

And obviously, I went the funny route. Actually this is my Halloween-ified screen name. It will return to normal wackyness after the big day.

I would certainly like to know which machines have been validated by Steam Guard and be able to individually unvalidate machines I've never used, replaced (clean install of windows, etc), or were from... somewhere else(TF2outpost, etc). Adding a nice "log me off of that other machine" button would be nice. No real need to show me system specs unless that can be added cheap.
Oh, and this would be info shown only to myself. Maybe a checkbox on the settings dialog to show/hide this info, but the rest of the world doesn't need an up to the second report of my machine (Its still a Pentium4, 2GB RAM, etc).

Its downloading a mass of files now. (Fingers crossed)

Well I think I'm on the right track but... I got this error:

Checking bootstrapper version ...
Getting version 50 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
Downloading. . . . . . . . . . .

C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\HLServer>Checking bootstrapper version ...
Failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer, WinSock Error 0 "No error"


So are these General Directory Server's still running? Will the respond to a ping request? (if so, whats the ip address or hostname?) I don't see mention of any part of the error message on the hldsupdatetool instructions page. And I did switch to the HLServer folder before running it.

I ran this on an administrator command promp on Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Would there be anything extra I need to do?

The end result, no gearbox folder under my dedicated server folder. I'll pick at this some more, but I feel I'm close to getting this working.

So in order to play any multiplayer I can join any existing server and that would work just fine.

Setting up a "normal" listen server from inside Opposing Force won't allow others to connect and is "officially" broken with no fix in sight.

Installing Dedicated Server from the Tools list will not show Opposing Force on the game type menu.I'm a little unclear if I need Dedicated Server installed when I run the hldsupdate tool. I'm guessing it will re-download HL and OP4 so it would show up on the list finally (and hopefully work.

If I don't have Dedicated Server installed when I run the hlds update tool, it will download to a folder I specify (could be anywhere). Is that sufficient to start the server? Do I use hlds update tool to launch the server or will it be hl.exe as usual?

I'm going to try with DS installed, then run the update tool to pull opforce("gearbox") down into the DS folder, then launch DS and hopefully start my server from there.

Thanks for your help. I think I'm pretty close to understanding this now.

I used to play violin(3+ years) in a proper high school orchestra until I took a bass to the knee. I can now play only a few popular tunas.

If I start the in-game server nobody can join me. So I figured thats just broken. Wonder when someone's going to fix it.

So as a workaround, I try the Dedicated Server, but that doesn't even list Opposint Force. Why not and can I get it on the list without too much fuss?

Thirdly what the heck is this hlds update tool? Does it actually need to download something once installed? (I already have OpFor installed and it has that listenserver that doesn't let people join) Does this tool fix the Dedicated Server program in the steam tools list? I don't quite understand why this tool is needed at all other than just someone said so.

I wonder if I just copy the current gearbox folder over to the dedicated server\gearbox folder I might not need the tool, but I remember trying that years ago and not having much success.

Anyway still a bit confused as all these other games are on the list. How did they get there? hlds update tool wasn't used for them, it was part of the Dedicated Server install.

Hopefully someone can explain most or all of these things.

"Defense Grid: The Awakening" has 72 achievements. Hope you're into Tower Defense Games. I wasn't, but I still got hooked. Should be enough to get your internet high.
"Team Fortress 2" has 446 achievements.(If you wanna go completely nuts on achievements)
Enjoy!
