This SteamClient works pretty good.... very fast too.
However, I do have a few "issues".

When I create a desktop shortcut and change it to SteamClient.exe it start the game nicely if I don't have SteamClient running already. However, if I already have SteamClient running, double clicking the shortcut does nothing.

When starting the Dedicated Server, it gives an error message: This application has failed to start because Steam.dll was not found. If I copy the Steam.dll (the SteamEmu one) to the dedicated server directory it workes fine.

Still, great work!

Go ask your mommy

i still think that emu is pretty useless..
no offence
its greate you making them.
but i dont get the point of it..

hanks for the "valuable" input darkmanx. Now go and play with your own toys. Some people don't think that what hCUPa's doing is useless.

Keep up the great work hCUPa.

I personally like using steamemu to run the games from the unpacked gcfs and straight from the icon. As opposed to using another steamlike program to launch them.

for your information i like hCUPa\MaddoxX

they are both very talanted and i really edmire their work..
but then again..
i dont see what the point of creating an emu that make steam not connect to steamserver if you are alredy using steam..
its like buying a car with no wheels..
you cant update the gcfs.
and you can make cracked servers with older emu2.63
the point of steam and ppatcher was getting the game updated.
and play with the emulator..
i personally using the unpacked version.
easily modified.

so there is no really a point of that emu for my opinion..
also using this emu+steam wont get you on several servers..
only on lan servers.

SDK Works (after some adjustments) fully Offline!
-> You're my Hero!

whatever darkmax.

err.
how do you use this thingy? i'd like to use garrysmod on a lan somehow and this could help, apparently i am too stupid to use it.

i have two working copies of sixsteam with hl2/css/garrysmod on german windowsXP and after the installation of this (and the addition of the steamemu.ini/steamapps.ini to the HL2-dir) I still can not launch HL2, even via the HL2.exe in the directory and the correct params. It just does not load. On the second PC, the SteamClient.exe won't load at all.

ok nice work

thx

@d4rkm4nx
This Tool has one Feature that no other Tool has:
You can use the SDK without any access to the Internet, (You need only a valid .blob and the gcf's from a friend) and so it makes Sense to create such a Emu.

@d4rkm4nx
This tool is the best for lan easy simple no stupid half working installers wich I hate ! (non steam down , .... )

Besides not everyone has a constant internet connection.

Unpacked versions takes too much time to unpack all files , crack , ....

This is just how it should be gcf's + exe -> play no matter what

Besides non steam isn't what it should be ( to many different ways to set up servers , cracks ) You have to make a standard ! Too many tools around and in my opinion only hCUPa's tools stand out in the shitload of crap out there

Thanks for feedback guys. Unfortanelly i was not paying attention to this forum last few days, but now i read up everything.
HKCU/HKLM steam client registry location will be dealt with in next release, same thing with creating new account (in fact i just did not think someone would try creating acc, instead of just trying to login with some name/pass). Dedicated server steam.dll problem will be also considered.

Now few words about usefulness or "devoted to d4rkm4nx".
Yes, speaking of ability to run given game this emu is not much of improvement compared to 2.xx versions, even if there were few bugs fixed in filesystem related code.
After initial emu release (vng one) it became clear that people usually cant configure games manually, dont like too much editing .ini files and arent quite sure if running games from command line is the most convenient way. To address those issues people started writing all kinds of steam client GUI replacements, launchers and this kind of stuff basically replicating work that valve did once. This emu tries to solve this problem differently: why do we want to write own GUI replacement if we can reuse existing one, even if it required major changes to emulator? Also it tries to fix some things i was not quite happy with: like having to put a copy of steam.dll into each game directory and some SDK related issues.

p.s. and at very least its not "d4rkm4nx.dll" type thing. sorry, could not resist.

is the password hc302b for extracting it i'm not sure but it doesn't work? Can you tell me what the password or another way i can extract it thank you
