I was just updating Steam after a looong while, and I noticed a new update for Half-Life:

Steam Auto-Updates said:
Added new command line option "-dll"; Syntax is -dll [game_dll_to_load]
I personally think that this is a very good feature added and that all the mini-mod (addon) developers out there should take a good note of this. This basically means no more tedious editing of liblist.gam everytime you want to run a different addon for your mod. All you would need is to setup shortcuts with different parameters to them and voila - you're done!

Example:
- Running ESF NORMALLY (plain old beta)
- Running ESF with bots added
- Running ESF with a custom addon
- Running ESF with MetaMod, etc.

Anyhow, just thought I'd post this update for everyone to read on these forums. Any comments and questions are welcome.

Hmm I knew the command was there, but I never thought about the shortcuts :)
Good Idea, now I just need to find out how to make that with the installer :)
