    you know that you lose player because of that?
    my friends buied Counterstrike:Source (that pack includes CS:S DOD:S HL2:Deathmatch) so they must pay 10€ to play your Mod.. (HL2:singleplayer is requiered) sooo theyyy dont PLAY your mod! i recommand you to change back to the deathmatch engine to gain more players.

    P.S.
    iam just upset that i cant play this mod with my friends :(

    You can play with just HL2 DM.

    Hl2: DM has all the files you need to play this mod, if it doesn't, you couldn't play HL2: DM either. If you're lieing and just use the HL2 demo( which is highly illegal and violates the VALVe EULA)-and i'm going to say this politely-
    Please reconsider your illegal activities and do what's right for everybody, buy HL2 legally.

    I don't know, Let's try to be inclusive here, maybe we should revert the engine to an earlier version for Yodan. I mean, he sounds like a smart, articulate person. It can't be that much work can it? It's only the game's engine...

    lol @ knighttemplar.

    But seriously, Yodan. HL2: DM uses the same engine as HL2 EP1, and vice versa. Get used to it.

    Are we going to change to the Episode 2 engine when it comes out, which will certainly have better lighting, and likely new features?

    yes, it cuts out some of our consumer base, but I really would like it if it were that way.

    Do you need Ep2 to run the Ep2 Engine? I dont know if we currently use the Ep1 one, but I don't have it and Empires works.

    Yeah I thought we were running on the ep1 engine and I don't have that but somehow manage to play.

    You can run it because you have HL2 Deathmatch, which also runs on the Episode 1 engine.

    wasn't there a tweak to use the old engine or is that gone now?

    There was never a tweak to be able to use the old engine.

    You can even run it with just CS:S, like me.

    I actually ran it through the standard Half Life 2 executable for a bit...

    Yes, the original game.

    Don't look at me. It worked.

    Maybe it knew to call HL2: DM, but I doubt that, because I had a shortcut not to steam, but to my HL2 executable.

    You have to change something in your gameinfo.txt in the Empires folder.

    Change "SteamAppId 320" to "SteamAppId 220" and you can run it with the hl2 engine again.

    Not sure why you'd want that though.

    But it's not guaranteed that anything will work in 1.071 with that engine/gcf.

    It doesn't feel like a beta enough (not enough crashes)



    :p
