Hi, old time player here. I am having quite a hard time getting the game to show up on steam. I've downloaded the exe multiple times from moddb and then just tried a mirror. I'm not sure if I need to place the download in a specific folder besides downloads.
I close steam and restart it everytime but never appears. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It should be in your username/sourcemods folder.
-
ah, still not working. Thanks for your help anyway.
-
What source games do you own? e.g TF2 CS:S and so on.
-
I have pretty much all the Half Life's, I have HLDM installed currently and have Source SDK and Source SDK orangebox as well. My latest attempt I downloaded the exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\
I restart steam in offline where it says it cant connect to internet, then I start it in online mode. I look at my games and doesent appear. I dont remember it being this hard before, but this is a newer comp. ???
-
did you run the exe you downloaded?
-
Yep. The only thing I can think of is when installing at a point it says "copy failed" but it keeps on installing. I click the desktop shortcut and nothing really happens.
-
Sounds like the exe is corrupted if it says copy failed. may have to download again.
-
The mindboggling thing is i've downloaded it atleat 8-10 times. I've tried it mostly from moddb and twice using mirrors.
-
Use the zip...
-
Pretty sure "copy failed" is referring to your achievement (gamestat.txt) file not being copied, cause you had it selected to copy and the file wasn't there.

I think the problem is that when I click restart in offline mode, steam gives an error message saying "could not connect to network" which probably has something to do with a firewall. I just dont understand why because it's offline anyway. I can go offline with steam from my laptop but it is not good enough to run the game.
I appreciate all the replies.

Dont restart in offline mode. Its an online game anyway.
