Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / February 2005How can I play my good old Team Fortress again? Help!
Hi folks Last time I played Team Fortress was about a year ago. My computer broke down, then it was the end of it. I recently bought a computer, and installed my old Half Life and Team Fortress, and launched GameSpy to get connected to Team Fortress servers, but there are no servers to be found. I read somewhere that something called steam (whatever that is.!?!?) has to be installed to play Team Fortress. I installed Steam, but under "my games" in Steam window, I don't see Team Fortress. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. > Hi folks > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed, given all the media and talk regarding Steam, that everyone knew what it was.

If my question bothers you to a point of being an a.shole as you are, don't bother responding at all, and get yourself worked up for nothing. Life is too short to go nuts over a simple question.

I'm calling you an a.shole because you often seem to respond in a non-civil manner. Please point out where I do so. That sort of goading is never a good idea on usenet - thanks to google groups.

Yeah as mentioned so kindly you have to install Steam in order to connect to MP servers (You could still do a LAN game though, but that's another story) I wonder Do you have HL1 as an option in play games? What games is available from the Steam menu? I have Team Fortress Classic as an option in my menu Also some details and specifics on how you installed Steam etc would be nice Makes it a lot easier to "guess" what went wrong and correct the situation :) rgds/Peter > Hi folks > Last time I played Team Fortress was about a year ago.

If you have the games installed pre-Steam, go to "Browse Games" in the Steam menu, and click "Register a product I already own." Steam will take you from there. I learned this in a.g.h-l, btw, not from steampowered.com, which for the most part I have found poorly organized and short on answers. So don't mind GFree. >If you have the games installed pre-Steam, go to "Browse Games" in >the Steam menu, and click "Register a product I already own." Steam [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >the most part I have found poorly organized and short on answers. >So don't mind GFree. I downloaded Steam and did full installation. The Steam file I downloaded was 723MB or so. As you guessed, I installed Half Life before I installed Steam. So, the game was installed prior to Steam installation. Clicking on "Register a product I already own" solved the problem. After I put in the CD key, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Half-Life, Deathmatch Classic, Opposing Force, Ricochet appeared in Steam windows under "my games" option. I guess Valve hit the bull's eye with this new Steam thing as no more illegal copies will be of any use. There is a way to play old HL games under steam still. These are my instructions for getting an old version of Day of Defeat mod: 1. Start a Half-Life game (not mod) in Steam This will create the folder C:\Steam\SteamApps\your email\half-life 2. Copy/install DOD beta 3.1 into this Half-Life folder C:\Steam\SteamApps\your email\half-life\dod\ 3. Rename the folder to "dod_31". So now you should have C:\Steam\SteamApps\your email\half-life\dod_31\maps 4. In the Steam "Play Games" window, you will see at the bottom "THIRD PARTY GAMES". 5. Start "Day of Defeat". > Hi folks > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks. > These are my instructions for getting an old version of Day of Defeat mod: Excellent receipt :-) - Peter |
