as we know there are not only one source game on Linux

anyc commented 11 years ago

Well, that's not the point. Do all source games require s3tc compression and do all people know if they're playing a game with source engine? If the first is true, I would agree but I doubt that normal users know that they should activate "source" use-flag if their game doesn't start. On the other side, adding multiple use flags just for s3tc doesn't make sense either. Opinions?

Gentoo users are not normal users, isn't it?

anyc commented 11 years ago

Not normal, but I wouldn't say that everyone knows how to distinguish game engines. Anyways, do all source games require s3tc? I can't test this right now.

Another approach would be to create a STEAM_GAME_ENGINES="source goldsrc whatever" use-variable. If the user is unsure, he or she can just enable all of them.

Sounds good, too. But I still don't know if s3tc is even required for all source engine games. ;) Maybe I'll find the time to test this this weekend.

Finally, I committed this with 1dd45f8bc. ;) Thank you!
