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.
