Releasing 1.3 update over steam? or..

[Hurracane]

Do you just release an update for the current client via steam, or will you release a completely new installer via the website...?

Has it changed that much that it's practically a re-write? thus, no update can be made?

New Installer more then likely.

Dude, could you not tell from the videos it was practically a re-write? The entire MAP system changed...I'm guessing old maps from 1.2.3 won't even work anymore.

ALso, no Half-Life mod uses Steamworks...while it would be awesome and potentially increase the user-base, Valve is not interested.

Seems they've lost interest in doing it for Source mods, I remember back in 2008 / 2009, it was this huge deal; but Valve only did like 10 mods in the end and has totally forgotten in later 2009 / all of 2010.

Not yet ^^.

I wouldn't worry about it being through Steamworks. It's pretty much guaranteed to be a full installer considering everything's been replaced. I'd also imagine there'd be quite a few mirrors so everyone'll be able to download it without a problem.

Though you should really contact Valve on trying for it...the first HL mod to be on Steamworks...cmon guys ~ They'd have to show appreciation for what yer doin with the Engine.

They already said that "No half Life 1 modification will ever be supported by Steamworks" They have their reasons and the reasons are plausible.

Don't think we haven't contacted Valve over numerous issues But yeah, like Grega said, Valve has many good reasons to no longer worry about supporting GldSrc, branding aside.

Even if it was a source mod, I doubt Valve would be so bold as to host and promote a game based on IP the creators don't own.

I have actually had a discussion with Valve in person regarding the release of Half-life 1 mods over steam. They have several valid reasons for not doing this and it's not just exclusive to ESF.

Several valid reasons like? Just curious.

If they wanted them revealed, they would have said so. Or are you saying masta aint trustworthy?

I just imagine it's no real benefit to them...and would require a decent bit of work on their end.
