I have a SourceMod game which I want people to be able to play without having to download steam or buy the SDK ect. What files do I need to extract for this?

Thanks

You need everything that is required for the base of your game (if it's a TF2 mod, then TF2 GCFs etc.)
Moreover you need the source sdk base and (if it's orange box) also the 2007 base.

so basically if I already have a HL2 standalone, ill I need do is extract the source sdk base gcf and the mod files and im good

Should do it, yes.

Hi! Do you know a method how to clean a game?
I just wanted to create a ex: HL2:EP1 standalone without the needed textures etc from the other parts.

Is that possible or do I really need all the others, like a collection of HL2, EP1, EP2?

Greetings

You could clean it by deleting the materials folder, launching with -developer and check what files are missing (EXTREMELY painful method).

And if you want a HL2EP1 standalone, you don't need EP2

Hi,

I'm new here and I'm discovering the power of SteamEmu & Revolution
But I have one question : we have to extract the GCF ? or is there a way to launch the games (CS:S, DOD:S...) without extracting the GCF files ?

If you want to create a standalone you have to. But you can still play without extracting GCFs, take UCL http://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46295

@ChrisTX

i think have finally figured out how to add hlds/dedicated server to standalone cs


here's the brief steps:

1. download cstrike's hlds dedicated server files using hldsupdatetool

2. when done, copy these files from hlds folder

FileSystem_Stdio.dll
hlds_steamgames.vdf
InstallRecord.blob <-- not sure, maybe not needed
kver.kp
proxy.dll
Steam.dll
swds.dll

and put them into the root folder of cs standalone

3. in hlds folder again, copy folder \platform\Admin (including files and subfolders in \Admin) iinto the platform folder of cs standalone folder


just that. then patch the standalone normally with rev emu.


p.s: christx, i think you should add tutorial how to add zbot as well then you'll have a complete all in one guide for everyone to refer to make their own standalone rip

Yeah, true. And I'll check out your method too, but the strange thing is I tried that already (also with copying those files) but it didn't worked back then. However, maybe it's now working with new rev-emu.

um...when i tried to make a cs standalone, i made a hl standalone

I think you have forgot to extract one file.
Check this thread to know which files are needed.

ok i found out what i did wrong, something in the shortcut, but now it says
"Error 5899: Metadata file missing or damaged [-1] !!!"

Did you verified your files first?

I asked this before but I'll ask again, any methods to make the size smaller besides compressing?
