Anyone know how to set up VHE for Sci and Industry for Steam? Can't seem to figure it out.

I mean like, compiling and such, and, like, spawn room entities and everything it needs to run.

The required FGD is included in Science & Industry, in your si/fgd/
directory.

Yeah I have that, I just need to know how to get it to compile and run correctly with steam

steam is not this mysterious beast that you seem to think it is, the following can be used for all hl mods:

from the top (in game configurations), as i cant rememebr names and such =/ :
create a new config, like 'sci' for example, put in the appropriate fgd.
now down to the important stuff, the first line you can choose from (game .. something), click browse and search out the main folder for S&I, (psbly: C:/Program Files/Steam/Steam Apps/Science and Industry[whatever folder is called])

next line, (Mod Directory, i do believe), will be C:/Program Files/Steam/Steam Apps/Science and Industry/mod folder name (the folder with all the models maps and sprites folders in it)

third line is exactly the same as the top (C:/Program Files/Steam/Steam Apps/Science and Industry)

and Rmf Directory is your choice.

that's it.

ps, use batch compiler to compile, check the tutorial section for details..

hm, not quite what i need.. can you tell me what to put exactly in the additional game parameters so when i compile it takes me in steam/si to my map and such.

Set up you HL path to: "C:Program FilesSteamSteam.exe"

Then on extra peramiters for HL add: "-applaunch 70 -game Science and Industry" (or what ever the mod folder is)

Also im not sure but if you compile with VHE (the bactch compile thing built in) then you may have to add "-map $mapname" not sure if thats right but you well need that if its not there to have your map go.

I wouldn't bother trying to launch the map at the end, seriously.

yes, what a frivilous excercise...

chuckles I coulda phrased that better.

I meant I wouldn't bother telling Steam to launch the map automatically

it says its missing a filesystem dll

Yup. That's why I recommended not telling Steam to launch automatically at the end. I knew there was a reason when I said it, just couldn't remember it

Launch your map normally, i.e. create a server running your map after launching S&I as you always do.
