The final version of Cy's Funhouse was released a few days ago. In order to celebrate the two long years he spent on it, I have set up an event. The map will be played with the following settings:

• Game mode: Man with the Golden Gun
• Radar: On
• Time limit: Unlimited
• Weapon set: Nick Nack's Scheme

          "0"    "KNIFE_THROWING"
          "1"    "PP7"
          "2"    "PP7_SILENCED"
          "3"    "D5K_SILENCED"
          "4"    "D5K_SILENCED"
          "5"    "SHOTGUN"
          "6"    "REMOTEMINE"
          "7"    "SILVER_PP7"



Note: If you still have the old version of Cy's Funhouse, download and run the bat file I have created here. It will delete your old files whether you are running Windows XP or newer. When you connect to the server, it will automatically download the newest version. Alternatively, you can download his map here.

del "%ProgramFiles%\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\maps\cy_funhouse.bsp"
del "%ProgramFiles%\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\scripts\soundscapes_cy_funhouse.txt"
del "%ProgramFiles%\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\scripts\music\level_music_cy_funhouse.txt"
del "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\maps\cy_funhouse.bsp"
del "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\scripts\soundscapes_cy_funhouse.txt"
del "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource\scripts\music\level_music_cy_funhouse.txt"

Now that's unpleasant. Wouldn't work for me, because I installed Steam on another drive and NOT in my ProgramFiles path (regardless of x86 or not). While it will work for most people, they could also uninstall the 3 files manually. But I'm looking for a command to read the Steam path from the registry anyway and will post here if I find it.

EDIT: What I'm running into is, that it seems you have to know your exact registry path to GoldenEye: Source, which could depend on the windows version used. Could work with a reg query. I think I'll get it working.

While it will work for most people, they could also uninstall the 3 files manually.

The problem is most people do not know which files to delete. So I have given them to option of running the bat / connecting to the QA server or downloading Cy's map and replacing the files manually. If the bat file does not work, they can simply edit the path.

Cool! i have instaled this map!  i am ready for the week-end.

[The Cy]

Could work with a reg query. I think I'll get it working.

Have a look at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\SourceModInstallPath. Good luck dealing with batch 

[Troy]

Cool thanks Badplayer.  I might try using a reg query later.  It looks like that will work.

[coolDisguise]

Here's an excerpt you could use as well (if for some reason the mod folder has a different name):

REM queries for the exact (/e) String "GoldenEye: Source" in HKLM\Software recursively (/s)
reg query HKLM\Software /s /f "GoldenEye: Source" /e

The problem is retrieving the result of the query.
From there on it's just the value of the install key.
I think on other versions of Windows it wouldn't be the Wow6432Node in between Software and Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\..., so the query is important. But yet if I do it in a For-loop it seems to insert Values for variables in advance instead of on every loop, so I can't do checks what has been returned by the query, so I can only store the key path instead of "1 result has been returned". -.-

Cool! i have instaled this map!  i am ready for the week-end.

Great guys.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great to see people had fun. Wasn't very happy that I got emergency called to work, so missed the event. I added your images Cy to Facebook as I was hoping to take some shots, but missed out.
