No .exe file to start up the game, any help?
-
It might not be well-documented, but first thing you need to do to install it is install Source SDK Base Orange in Steam.
-
Where do I find this, but atm I've downloaded the Goldeneye Source.
-
its not a standalone game its a mod of HL2? Anyway as stated above you need the SDK base-orange box.
steam>>tools
-
Sorry im new with all this kind of stuff, so can I download this SDK Base Orange box?
I have never had any other online shooting game like this from source.
All I want is to download this and play it... link to the download please anyone.
-
You have to purchase a Source Based game, such as Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: DM, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Etc. And then download the Source SDK (Free). Then you will be able to play our mod.
The reason for this is, our mod is a modification of the Source Engine. We are not a retail release so we don't include the Engine Files in our database, only the modifications to it, and thus you need to have the Engine Base in order to play our mod. Which is what the Source SDK is all about.
-
So I cannot play unless I purchase a game like Counterstrike Source? Oh Damn I thought this was a standalone game :D with just the source engine.
-
Nope, sorry :(. You can get Half-Life 2: Deathmatch for really cheap. And thats all you need, and then just the SDK which you download through steam.
-
Here is a link to HL2DM which in the UK is £3 which is a bargain, not sure how many $$ that is but cannot be more than 10 surely?

$5
Dirt cheap for all the mods you can play

Hey guys, really want to play this but having the same issues as the first guy.
I have HL2 and CSS installed on my computer, as well as the Beta 3. After reading this thread I went into Steam and under tools but there isn't a "Source SDK Base Orange" to install. I tried searching for it in Steam as well but no results came up. There was a "Source Dedicated Server" that I installed, but when I run Goldeneye Source is still just brings up a My Computer window.
Any help? Thanks.

Hmm.. Odd.
Make sure it installed into the right folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\gesource (or similar, what ever drive you use, etc)
Restart steam.
For most it auto downloads Source SDK Base- Orange Box if you don't have it installed.
-
He doesnt have an orange box game so maybe thats why?
-
Nope, any source game should do.
-
So do you need Source SDK, Source SDK base and Source SDK - Orange box? or just source SDK Orange Box?
-
Take a picture of your tools tab and upload it for us.
-
Okay, I don't have a C:\Program Files\Steam\
My Steam directory appears to be in C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\
I also don't have C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\gesource
\sourcemods\ exists but there's nothing inside of it.
Here's my tools tab: http://i44.tinypic.com/339t7hz.jpg
Can't I just download this Source SDK online somewhere? Every place I see says to just download it from Steam... why not just offer a normal download online? This all seems like it's overly complicated.
-
Nope, its tied to your asteam account so wouldnt work anyway.
You probably need to buy an orange box engine game like TF2
-
I'm not re-buying games I already own over Steam just to get the free SDK to play this mod, that's bullshit.
Where's the online link already, this is getting ridiculous
-
Here is my suggestions:
1.) make a "Steam" folder in C:\Program Files\
2.) move all steam files to the new folder. So it shows up as: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\.....
3.) make sure gesource is in the directory: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\gesource
4.) start steam and see if that helped.
If not, try:
Close Steam.
Delete everything in the Steam folder except Steamapps and steam.exe
Restart Steam and let it re-download the files needed.
-
None of the above fixed my issues, still no SDK under tools.
Hate to sound like I'm just repeating myself but can anyone just upload these files I need online?

It wont work because its tied to your steam account.
It is clear form that pic you just have a steam account woth no games otherwise you would have loads more tools in there such as SDK base.
You sure you have logged into the right account?
------
I just tested on my 2nd account which only has HL2DM and i can stil play GES so HL2DM is the minimum requirement as stated previously :)
-
I would say contact valve via support as you should have the sdk base to play mods with that list of games.
-
I just installed HL2 from disc, which installed Steam in the process. I don't use Steam to buy and download games. Since I have a retail version of HL2 I can't play Goldeneye Source, I guess is what I'm being told here? This mod is only for people who bought the game from Steam? Why not do this mod differently, or offer the SDK on this site so more people can play the mod? This seems awfully convulted.
-
If you have HL2 then you should have the SDK base things needed.
Doesn't matter if you installed it via disc or downloaded it via steam.
what does it say in your games section of steam? if it says preloaded or pre-load complete next to HL2 then you have logged into the wrong account.

Post a pict of your games list. As i said i think this is a valve issue and you will need to contact them (https://support.steampowered.com/)!
-
It says pre-loaded. I don't really care what Steam thinks about my games as I never use it and I just registered an account soley to get the files I need to play Goldeneye Source. And I really need someone to intelligibly explain to me how I could possibly be logging into the "wrong account" - that suggestion just blows my mind.
I don't really want to dick around with Valve support just to download some file over Steam, like I said, the game itself runs fine.
I know I'm seriously hitting broken-recordism here but why won't anyone just host this mythical SDK online so I can download it like a normal man? I mean, isn't this what we fought the revolutionary war for? Or is this whole thing just a farce? A government conspiracy set up to waste the time of people who loved Goldeneye 64? ..Is this real? ..Am I real?

From what you say now it seems to be tthat you have not registered the CD-Key to your account.
When you get a Valve game on disc you need to register it to steam otherwise it will not work.
Hopefully when you do the following you will have all the SDK base tools.
In steam go to
games>> Activate product on steam...
then follow the instructions.

Because the sdk wont work with out steam (and dont even think about mentioning nosteam here)

HL2:DM is free if you own a nVidia or ATI Graphics card.
For any nVidia GPU:
http://www.steampowered.com/nvidia/
or
For any ATi GPU:
http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/
May need to disable 'adblock' to view that page.
And that works fine for GE:S
-
You cant use the free hl2dm to play ges. You need one brought source game.
-
Downloaded source sdk and Goldeye Source Beta 3.0 still opens up My Computer
-
Orange Box SDK, thats what you need. We run on the Orange Box Engine now. Other mods who don't, run on the standard Source Engine, and you need the regular SDK Base for that. Sounds confusing I know, but don't blame us, that's VALVe and Steam's issue.
If you downloaded the regular SDK, you should be able to download the Orange Box SDK or Orange Box SDK Base, in your tools menu.
-
Everyone I've talked to says it auto installs SDK Base orange box if its not installed on start. So should really contact VALVe.
-
I think pirate ahoy, in previous posts he says hl2 is preloaded which means
Downloaded source sdk and Goldeye Source Beta 3.0 still opens up My Computer
did u register the CD key?
