    Ive restarted it a couple of times, and no icon like that has showed up. It has all my games, including empires, but not the svn. Did i really put it in the wrong place or something?
    This would be the correct place, right?
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST

    The path is correct, if you have the gameinfo.txt (and all the other files) right in this folder it should show up in Steam.

    Yea, i have all that info, but its not showing up on steam? How to get it on steam? I tried looking for an executablie in the folders, but there was nothing, so i guess i need to find a way to put it on steam.

    is your gameinfo.txt in this folder:
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST
    or is it a folder deeper?

    Well, yes and no i guess. The actually folder location is this, i think its ok.
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST\empiresTEST
    The second folder is the actual svn. The game text is in the 2nd folder.

    Edit
    Weird. Well, there is no space in the name of the 2nd folder, its just the way it showed up.

    try to copy the second folder to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\
    and delete the other one and it should work.

    paths should be like this:

    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST\gameinfo.txt
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST\BIN
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST\cache
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST\cfg
    C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\EmpiresTEST\etc...,etc..

    just to clear things out :rolleyes:

    BTW: why it maked space in gameinfo.txt? :o
