Open Salve

So I emailed Valve hoping for an answer.  After a week, they finally reply with update your steam client.  After specifically specifying the specific problem, and waiting another couple days, I am told they "do not offer technical support for development tools or user made content."  *slow clap*

WHELP !!

I know it's not a whelp.  My brother drew this.

Used with permission.  Thank you Yeegoh!

Lets check forums.  Some help, but even then it's kinda vague whats going on.  What kills me is I can't even post anything on the forum because, as of blogging this sentence, I am waiting for them to authorize my account... to post on the forum.

ANYWAYS

This is what I did that worked.  If you're luck enough to still have the "day of defeat source.gcf" file.


1.  Extract "day of defeat source.gcf" folder with "GCFScape"

2.  Copy "root\dod\materials" folder to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod"

3.  Copy "root\dod\models" folder to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod"

4.  Open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod\info.txt" with a text editor (like Windows Notepad)

5a.  Add "ToolsAppId                211" to the line after "SteamAppId                300"

5b.  Add "Game |gameinfo_path|." to the line before " // First, mount all user customizations.  This will search for VPKs and subfolders"

6a.  Run Hammer (Source Engine MP / Day of Defeat: Source)

Good luck and may the Force be with you.

Actually, I'm back cause I missed a couple things:


6b.  Tools -> Options

7a.  [Game Configurations] tab
Game Executable Directory:
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\day of defeat source
Game Directory:
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\day of defeat source\dod
HAMMER VMF Directory:
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\username\sourcesdk_content\dod\mapsrc

7b.  [Build Programs] tab
Game executable:
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\day of defeat source\hl2.exe
BSP executable:
c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\username\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vbsp.exe

Place compiled maps in this directory before running the game:

[OK]
