[HLDMS] Loading Singleplayer rather than Multiplayer

[ghost]

When loading a game in Half-Life Deathmatch Source it seems to be running Singleplayer rather than Mutliplayer. You are not able to change your spray or playermodel and when you load a server you do not see the normal "This Server is Protected by VAC." type deal, but instead you get a normal old singleplayer loading screen. You can also Co-op normally (I wish for you to also bring back the HL1 campaign for HLDMS because people always Co-op on that game)

How are you starting a game? If you use the console you must set maxplayers manually first.

[ghost]

@alfred-valve All of the max players are normal, it just that the game thinks it's singleplayer so it has the wrong loading screen and provides no options for player models and spray

[alfred-valve]

I cannot reproduce this, try validating your hl1mp install. I see the expected loading dialog (with the status text and progress bar) when loading a map.

[ghost]

@alfred-valve are you able to change your player model and spray or do you also have the difficulty settings?

[alfred-valve]

I have the correct multiplayer options UI, what I see above looks more like the HL:S UI. What app are you launching? Have you validated your install?

[ghost]

@alfred-valve I am validated my install at the moment, and I am launching up HLDMS's app.

[ghost]

@alfred-valve it still provides a Singleplayer GUI and also when launch server via console it launches a single player game instead of multiplayer

[alfred-valve]

Can you use the "Process Explorer" tool from Microsoft and capture the path and command line arguments you are launching the game with please.

[ghost]

@alfred-valve Could you please tell me how to do that?

[alfred-valve]

Download "Process Explorer" from Microsoft, pick "hl2.exe" from the process list, right click it and choose properties. Then pick the Image tab and path the path and command line pieces here.

[ghost]

Path: D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 1 Source Deathmatch\hl2.exe Command Line: "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 1 Source Deathmatch\hl2.exe" -game hl1mp -steam

[alfred-valve]

Can you link the content_log.txt file from your \logs directory here. You are running the right thing...

[alfred-valve]

Ah ha, I can reproduce it, I'll work out what is going on.

[ghost]

Thanks, is there anyway I could get the .QC, .QCIs, and .SMD Animations for Half-Life Source player models to port over recon and the player models from Further Data?

[alfred-valve]

This is the wrong bug for that. When I have details on that I will post on its bug report.

[ghost]

@alfred-valve alrighty :)
