To fix the Source SDK 2006 tools Can't find steam app user info. error:

  • At SourceSDK\bin\ep1\bin\config, create a SteamAppData.vdf file with the following contents:
"SteamAppData"
{
	"RememberPassword"		"0"
	"AutoLoginUser"		"CSM"
	"CSM"
	{
		"User"		"CSM"
		"AccountCreated"		"1"
		"ShowNotifyTrayHintDialog"		"0"
	}
}

Call the SDK tool with -game <absolute path to the folder with your GameInfo.txt>, if needed. If the SDK tool doesn't support the -game argument, see the VPROJECT method below instead.

For example:

"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SourceSDK\bin\ep1\bin\studiomdl.exe" -game "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\NEOTOKYO\mapping" -nop4 -verbose "sphere.qc"

Alternatively, you should be able to set the VPROJECT environment variable to the -game GameInfo path to skip having to use the argument. In this case, omit the entire -game <path> argument from your command.
