Hello, a clanmate of mine is working on a map called dod_Stavold but can't start because he is missing the gameinfo.txt file to configure hammer.
I've searched google for hours looking for the file but can't find it anywheres.
If any of you have acess to the file and don't mind sending it to me please do.

Thanks.

Here is the one I keep as a copy outside the steam folder. Steam has already deleted this file a couple of times in the past...

That's the one for CSS. Open it up and change things if your friend needs it for another game.

Or u can just start up a single player game of w/e game it is that your mapping for (steam will automatically make one). Then go refresh the content in the SDK and it should work. That tends to happen to me when there is an update released for the SDK.

**EDIT**
Rouw I didnt even read the post, i just assumed what he was talking about as it just literally happened to me :( . Well if that happens with steam ^ u know what to do :p.

He needs it for Day of Defeat.
I'm got the one for source but I'm not sure what to change in it.

I assume you mean dod1.3. in that case, you need to use hammer 3.5b, not hammer 4.0. check out www.mardymouse.co.uk for more info on mapping with 3.5.

if you are trying to map for dod:source, then the gameinfo.txt does not exist yet. make your map for cs:source, then convert it when dod is released.

Yeah that must be it, he said he has the most recent version.
Thanks for the help.

Ok we were able to edit the gameinfo.txt file for DoD 1.3 but there's some confusion on where to set up the textures, he keeps getting the following message:

"No textures are available for use with that game. You must set them up in the Textures tab of the Options dialog box before you can edit maps for this game."

I have a problem, when I click play day of defeat source beta, it says: dod/gameinfo.txt is not a valid format, I put the attached file but the message appears again.

any help!? thanks

I'll be blunt. How did you get the beta? :mod:

For those that were in the test and had access for its been disabled on Steam for a while so theres no point trying to run it.

I suggest your honest, we have your details on file. :vader:

Jed, i heard the beta made its way into the warez underground. One release group even offered 100$ to get their hands on it. But i didnt look into finding it somewhere coz i couldnt play it anyway.

I dowload it from *edited* ^^

regards.
