I installed from the frontpage download section, 2.23, and its not showing up on steam games section. :confused: I restarted steam like 30457308576 times after too...
Did you install the patch or the full install? If you installed the patch, did you install the 2.2, 2.21 and 2.22 installers? Are you sure that the mod is correctly installed in your Steam/SteamApps/Sourcemods folder?
same goes for me! I installed the Empires 2.23 Full Client today and I ran the installer. Upon opening Steam, I Could not find it in my games list, although i could find another mod which i installed together with Empires.
I too am having this problem. Steam is not running during install (or d/l, for that matter), installs to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\Empires, doesn't appear under "My Games" when steam is opened. I used the full installer for 2.23. This mod looks like a hoot, I'd love to play it, but it seems to not want to be played. This a screw-up on my part, or something wonky with the 2.23 build? I do have HL2 installed, btw (as well as TF2 and Portal, I assume there are no conflicts here), I have not installed Episodes 1, 2 or the Lost Coast. Help? EDIT: Aha. Did not have source SDK base or source sdk base orange box installed. I'll try that (Probably OB, since that's what I bought) and see how it goes. EDIT: After installing Source SDK Orange box, and restarting steam repeatedly, still having no luck.
well its a fun game, ill tell you that. But even if you got it working, no servers have been updated to 2.23. 2.23 came out yesterday, so wait a couple days and once this problem is fixed and servers are running 2.23 IMO.
Download The Fucking Patch :v Download the 2.22>>>2.23 PATCH! Run it! Note: you must have the 2.23 full installer installed, I know its crazy.
They didn't include gameinfo.txt in the full 2.23 make a file called gameinfo.txt in your empires folder and put this in it: "GameInfo" { game "empires 2.23" title "" title2 "" icon "resource/steamicon" developer "empires" developer_url "empiresmod.com" manual "don'tknow" nohimodel 1 nocrosshair 1 nomodels 1 type multiplayer_only FileSystem { SteamAppId 218 ToolsAppId 211 SearchPaths { Game |gameinfo_path|. Game hl2 } } }
"GameInfo" { game "Empires 2.23" title "v 2.23" developer "Empires Mod Team" developer_url "http://www.empiresmod.com" icon "resource/steam_icon" manual "http://www.empiresmod.com/help" type multiplayer_only nomodels 1 nodifficulty 1 nohimodel 1 nocrosshair 1 FileSystem { SteamAppId 218 // GCF for TF2, required for ep2 sdk ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc. SearchPaths { Game |gameinfo_path|. Game |all_source_engine_paths|sourcetest Game |all_source_engine_paths|hl2 } } }
Adding the gameinfo file brought it into "My Games". Thanks for the prompt and courteous response sir. Looking forward to giving this a shot.
Seems theres an issue with the full installer putting the gameinfo.txt in scripts/ I packaged the installer, and I double checked, and it's in the right place in my package directory, so, I don't know why the installer is doing that. We are uploading a fix, fear not
Haha! I ran two installers from different mirror, restarted steam like a engineer waiting for ref with n00bcomm. Thanks dude, that gameinfo trick made my day :D
RRD, downloading the 2.23 full install and then using the 2.22 -> 2.23 patcher resolves any problems to do with incorect files. If it doesn't work after this, then it's another issue. perhaps try a system reboot instead of just a steam one.
Huzzah! Finally someone put up a gameinfo.txt!!! EDIT: Is it supposed to be under "(steam account here)" or "Sourcemods"? I mean, the installer put it in "(steam account here)"... EDIT 2: Nevermind, I figured it out!
Thanks! :D Yeah I had the same problem, read through this forum, did what you said, (just copied and pasted the entire thing) and it works Bad news is I need to install SDK OB, anyway I'm really looking forward to playing this. Oh it's just finished then :D
