[REQ] How do I get an update feature to inject (and not overwrite) content like your CSGO updator / installer ?

I do some game packs myself on and off and have a very good server for hosting updates and things like that, but with the only update feature I have ever known about I can only overwrite files from a setup .exe not updating them like your CSGO client that seems to be injecting these .vpk packed files.

 

I always wanted to be able to do this with files like e.g. .gcf but never got a reply back from valve so now I  am trying to get an answer here.

Thank you very much for any help, would be real nice to be able to update my own  projects without having to use bulgy setups with many files you dont even need and huge files that really just needed a few MB of information added.

 

I hope you understand my question, english is not my first language so please be patient.

That feature is part of steam. I am just using their function and I made my wrapper api.

Ok, thank you very much for your reply !!!

Btw: I have been packing the PacSteam client for years now (after .Cue stopped his cuesteam) and the main problem have always been to download the games, especially after latest steam update and was thinking about if your idea for cs-go here could also work for other games in steam it self ???

I would be really happy if you with your knowledge on this issue would please check out the client and maybe give some feedback:

Another thing now we are at it: The cracker steam006 can't seem to patch SETTI servers at all in steam any more, could your idea to get the servers working in csgo be used in the pacsteam client perhaps?

Thank you very much for everything you do, your hard work and any feedback, thank you !!!

You can't do anything with PacSteam client without it's source code.

If the developer stopped updating it then I guess the steamclient interfaces are outdated and need updating but that must be done in the source code.

I am sorry but I can't test the exe files you posted because I have no virtual OS right now and I have a lot of sensitive data on my HDD.

 

I am not sure what do you mean by "patch SETTI servers" can you explain me better?

 

I don't know what steam006 is doing but I have the full source code of rev emu and I am constantly working on it. So in near feature I'll be releasing steamclient emulator.

well, the pacsteam client is basically just a memory patch for steam that atm is only based on steam006's steam patcher GreenLuma. I then pack it up with an inventory that contain difference patches and apps.

 

My biggest point for doing the project is my pre-fetch idea where you can e.g. place a few files into the update for pacsteam from different games, and then you will be able to download the games with this client too.

 

You are more than very welcome to also join my pacsteam.org forum with your releases, and I am very exited about your work especially that steamclient emulator you are talking about.

 

What I meant about SETTI is this: http://css.setti.info/ to get cracked server list in your steam games - but steam006 can't fix this and the other crackers who could patch it have lost interest in steam overall :-(

Thank you for your invitation, I'll join your forum.

 

Why would you need setti? It is old method. In my emulator I am implementing bir3yk method. I connect to steam masterserver list then filter the servers by sv_tag "no-stem". So if you want your server to be shown in the cracked emulators just add sv_tag "no-steam" to your game config file.

That would be an honor SmartPlay !!

 

The method you are using would make it possible to download all games from a steam account, right?

 

Do you mean the server config for a game or another one? I would like to get setti servers on cs 1.6, so how would I be able to do this?

No you can't download all games with this method.

You can't use setti because they have different protocol.
