Further STEAM investigations - steam 7 (just released)

[MoD]

New steam release, entry in ClientGameInfo.vdf chagned to:

		}
		// Half-Life 2 Media
		"11"
		{
			"media"		"1"
			"icon"		"resource/games/icon_hl2_media"
			"NoServers" 	"1"		// there is no game to launch
		}
}

Changing to "8" produced the following (ascii image :F)

() Ricochet
() Dedicated Server

Media
------------
(hl²) Platform


Double clicking platform still gives "This game is currently unavailable".

Anyway, this is proof that steam now supports the media release, also proves that it'll be in games menu, and shows that it'll be under a "Media" entry.

btw, update news gives a 404.

Erik said in steam forums movies are not yet done, but are close, so hold on tight!!!!!

[03:58:54] <Ritchey007> not today

Some gaming company jsut lost a large portion of my trust...

 

[Joeyslucky22]

what??? no videos today?

 

[MoD]

Erm, whoever moved this, I posted it in teh general discussion area for a reason, since teh hl2 media release is not a steam issue, its a very egneral community issue.

 

[Duracell]

eeep , terrible news

 

[Brett]

i dont see the media area and i downloaded it.

 

[LoneDeranger]

Yeah it sounds like that Ritchey007 is right. He's a mod on the steam forums.

 

[LoneDeranger]

Wait, I see this:

HL2 movies released on Steam sumwhen 2day, dont miss em

WTF is that suppose to mean

 

[bonanzaguy]

Brett: you shouldnt see it yet, you have to manually edit a file to get it there, and when you do it doesnt do anything. so dont worry about it.

 

[MIWojo11]

ok thank god i thought i was missing something

 

[SpuD]

I dont have a media tab, either.

 

[GLMinorThreat]

I just did the trick to add it because that makes me cooler.
