CS.RIN.RU - Steam Underground Community

Hello dear folks,

It's the first time from a long period of active learning that I'm writing here, and this time is for a nice question IMHO.
All this time I've been reading and trying various amazing programs, like CFToolbox, the MiSteam suite, rev's packs and the SASiO's "patch from the netherrealms". They're really great, I love them. I bought my brother Garry's Mod and I tried to get it cracked for me. Since then I started using the tools, but I soon started buying the games, too. I now own Garry's Mod, TF2, L4D2, CSS, DoD & Ep2, because (especially in offers time) the cheap price was more than worth. I kept following you for the love of science, in order to know what protections are on the games I bought and what I could have done with them.

Here comes the question: I would like not to DL one of those "packs" from the Net just to have a standalone gmod "offline tryout version", to give to someone, since I already own the game (i.e. have acquired all the files legitly). Of course I tried with MiSteamPrep, as rev crew suggests in one of their "readme" files. All I get is a tiny ~300 MBs folder, giving me a "no steam apps" error.

What should I try? I remember it's for the love of science, since I could always dl the "pack" I said, but I'd like to be able to produce standalone versions by myself. I thought it was simple.
Thanks for the time, best wishes to everyone.

P.S.: I just noticed that even for CS:S MiSteamPrep makes a tiny folder with no chance to get the game started (crashing when creating a game). Your comments are appreciated. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Download the MiSteam and Misteam prep updates.
Download the latest version on revemu and put it in the misteam folder

Check the extract full game cache files box in misteamprep.

Thank you so much, I did everything you said and it worked, although I think it was just the "full game cache" part the real issue. I would have never figured it out without you!
However, does MiSteamPrep apply the anti-CEG patch when prepping left 4 dead 2?

No problem, people like you deserve to be helped.

It doesn't patch the CEG. Use a patched client.dll (it is in the update pack)

Is it ok to use ReCEG for the same purpose instead of the client.dll premade file?

Why do you want to use ReCEG?

It only works for the L4D2 client.dll

It was just to completeness of information, you know. I'd have liked to have a one-stop dev site to get the job done!
Thanks again for answering!
