*IMPORTANT*



This update only for people who have updated to Protocol 7 and installed

the Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Addon. If you haven't installed those two,

then do not fuck around with this update.



ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ



Install Notes (Please follow these instructions IN ORDER)



1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or equivalent



2. *WARNING* It is STRONGLY recommended to run this patch from the same

HDD or partition as where you installed the game. And we

STRONGLY recommend closing all other applications before

running this patch.



Run patch.exe and follow the steps until asked for the destination

directory use:



"<install directory>SteamApps"



<install directory> being where you installed the game.



*** EXAMPLE **************************************************



If "C:Program FilesValveSteam" is where you installed the

game then the following would be the destination directory for

the patch:



"C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamApps"



**************************************************************



Then once you have chosen the correct directory, continue following the

on-screen instructions and START the patch.



Your GCF's MUST be the exact ones from the Protocol v7 Update.

If for any reason YOU have modified these files, this patch WILL NOT

work for you.



DO NOT interrupt this process and the patch WILL be succesful after

some minutes, depending on your processor speed. BE PATIENT.



3. BACKUP your "steamemu.ini" files from the following folders if you

have previously enabled online play for legit servers:



<installdir>SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2 Deathmatchsteamemu.ini

<installdir>SteamAppsUserCounter-Strike Sourcesteamemu.ini



If you do not perform this backup, you will have to edit the .ini files

again after the update (as explained in step 5 and 6).



4. Once the patch has been installed succesfully, go to the HL2Installer

folder and double click "hl2install.exe". This will update the needed

game files for you. And do not worry, your save files wont be harmed.



hl2intall will put the the game back into offline mode so read the

OFFLINE/ONLINE mode section to go back into ONLINE mode.



Next, go to the CSSInstaller folder and double click "cssinstaller.exe".

This will update the needed CS: Source files for you.



Finally, go to the HL2DMInstaller folder and double click

"hl2dminstaller.exe". This will update the needed HL2: DM files for you.





YOU MUST RUN ALL 3 INSTALLERS AGAIN! SO DO NOT TRY TO SKIP STEPS.





5. Replace your "steamemu.ini" backups to their respective folders to

re-enable the games' online features for legit servers.



If you fucked up your backups and you can't play on legit servers follow

this step again.



*OPTIONAL STEP TO ENABLE ONLINE PLAY ON -ANY- SERVERS*

*CRACKED SERVERS STILL FUNCTIONAL WITHOUT THIS STEP*



For those people who wish to play online on ANY servers, legit or

cracked, you must first run STEAM from your start menu:



Start -> Programs -> Valve -> Steam -> Steam



Click "Create a new account..." and follow the on-screen steps to do so.



You MUST create a NEW account which does NOT have any games subscribed.



Once you have created your account, minimize STEAM to the system tray,

while REMAINING LOGGED IN.



Then, go to "<install directory>SteamAppsUserCounter-Strike Source",

in explorer, open the file "steamemu.ini".



Here you will see a section for enabling online play:



; Enable online Steam play

; This enables the ability to play Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Counter-Strike: Source on any server.

; Log in to the Valve Steam client with a valid steam account (no subscriptions to games needed)

; And enter the Steam information here

; For example:

; SteamOnline=1

; SteamUser=MySteamUser

; SteamPassword=MySteamPassword

SteamOnline=0

SteamUser=

SteamPassword=



First, change "SteamOnline=0" to "SteamOnline=1".



Second, since you have a new account now, use your new Username and Password

and write them into the steamemu.ini file and SAVE.



*** EXAMPLE **************************************************



Your new username is "BOB" and your password is "dolomite".



Your .ini file should look like the following to play online:



; SteamOnline=1

; SteamUser=MySteamUser

; SteamPassword=MySteamPassword

SteamOnline=1

SteamUser=BOB

SteamPassword=dolomite



**************************************************************





Repeat the .ini file editing for the steamemu.ini file found in

"<install directory>SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2 Deathmatch" as well,

to re-enable HL2: DM online legit server play.





*** REMINDER *************************************************



Each time you want to play online on LEGIT SERVERS, you MUST

have STEAM running and you MUST be logged into the same

account as found in the steamemu.ini file!



Mind you, this is the same thing as running steamengine.exe

from the EMPORiO release and the same information is exchanged.



Otherwise, if you ONLY want to play on cracked servers, you

DO NOT need STEAM running at all.



**************************************************************



6. --- Half-Life 2 ---



To play Half-Life 2 double click the "Half-Life 2" shortcut found on

your desktop.



(Half-Life 2 will work in either OFFLINE or ONLINE mode - read below)



--- Counter-Strike Source ---



To play Counter-Strike Source double click the "Counter-Strike Source"

shortcut found on your desktop.



(CS: Source is ONLY functional if you are in ONLINE mode)

(Legit server play only if step 5 is completed)

(Cracked servers functional with or without step 5)



--- Half-Life 2: Deathmatch ---



To play Half-Life 2 double click the "Half-Life 2 Deathmatch" shortcut found on

your desktop.



(HL2: DM is ONLY functional if you are in ONLINE mode)

(Legit server play only if step 5 is completed)

(Cracked servers functional with or without step 5)





*** SHORTCUT NOTICE *******************************************



Our installers will make shortcuts ONLY to the REAL location

where windows believes the desktop is. If you have played

around with the desktop using TweakUI or other programs, you

may not see the shortcuts on your "desktop" which is NOT where

windows thinks the desktop actually is. So, follow these

instructions to make your own shortcut:



For Half-Life 2:



"<install dir>SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2hl2.exe" -steamlocal



For Counter-Strike Source:



"<install dir>SteamAppsUserCounter-Strike Sourcehl2.exe" -steam -game cstrike



For Half-Life 2 Deathmatch:



"<install dir>SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2 Deathmatchhl2.exe" -steam -game hl2mp





<install dir> being wherever you installed the game obviously.







*** OFFLINE / ONLINE MODE *************************************



--- ONLINE ---



Double click the file "Steam Online.reg" to put the game in

ONLINE mode.



Make sure your internet connection is active and the needed

ports to play CS: Source are open (or turn firewalls off).

Same for HL2:DM.



--- OFFLINE ---



Double click the file "Steam Offline.reg" to put the game in

OFFLINE mode.



---------------------------------------------------------------



The game MUST be in ONLINE mode to play Counter-Strike Source

on cracked servers, or to host a cracked server, and you

obviously must be connected to the internet. Same for, legit

servers and HL2:DM.



OFFLINE mode is for those who do not have a constant internet

connection or for those who do not want any contact with VALVE

servers and want to play Half-Life 2.



Remember that OFFLINE mode will disable Counter-Strike Source

online capabilities. So if you want to play online, follow

the instructions above to enable ONLINE mode. Same for HL2:DM.



Remember, STEAM only must be logged in and running if you wish

to play CS: Source on legit servers. Otherwise, you do not

need STEAM to be on at all. Same for HL2:DM.
