Setting up the folder structure

You should now have a folder structure that looks pretty much like this:

WindowsWindows

hl2\
orangebox\
orangebox\bin\
orangebox\hl2\
orangebox\platform\
orangebox\reslists\
orangebox\hlds_steamgames.vdf
orangebox\srcds.exe
orangebox\steam_appid.txt
clientregistry.blob
hldsupdatetool.exe
hldsupdatetool_<tool version>.mst
installrecord.blob

LinuxLinux

.steam\
.steam\clientregistry.blob
hl2\
orangebox\
orangebox\bin\
orangebox\hl2\
orangebox\platform\
orangebox\reslists\
orangebox\hlds_steamgames.vdf
orangebox\srcds_<arch depending>
orangebox\srcds_run
orangebox\steam_appid.txt
hldsupdatetool.bin
installrecord.blob
steam
test1.so
test2.so
test3.so


MacMac

Now you need to do the follwing step ( valve didn't make the orangebox\hl2 folder right ):

WindowsWindows

rmdir /s orangebox\hl2 ( or just delete the hl2 folder in orangebox )
xcopy /s /e hl2 orangebox ( or just copy the hl2 folder to orangebox )

LinuxLinux

rm -R orangebox/hl2
cp -R hl2 orangebox

Campaign Content

Campaign content is stored only in GCF's on the steam client, so prepare to upload the extracted files to your server ( Windows Server user have it a bit easier here as they can install steam and do it directly on the server ), in order to do that get this application: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=25 Template:Help

Note: The Obsidian Team might offer to copy the extracted gcf content onto servers via their Windows Server to save upload time in the future, in which case you can safly ignore this section

If someone has a good idea on how the extraction progress on those sections can be visually displayed so that it's easy to understand, let me know --Neico 17:00, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
