Can you take a screenshot of the error window and post it?

There should be files and line numbers included in it.

Can you do me a favor?


  • Open regedit

  • Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER ▶ Software ▶ Valve ▶ Steam

  • Look in the right window for ModInstallPath

  • Paste the path here in a reply



Thanks.

There is no ModInstallPath, but there is a SourceModInstallPath. C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppssourcemods

I tried an older version of the standalone app and it appears to work fine.

Post subject:  The older version doesn't

The older version doesn't check the registry for anything.

Which directory is TF2 located in?

For example, mine is located in:
E:Steamsteamappsteam fortress 2

Post subject:  Correct. it should be like

Correct. it should be like that for everyone.

Edit: well, actually mine is in C:Program Files (x86)... if you want to get that technical, but it should be somewhere ending in SteamTeam Fortress 2 for everyone unless they use the steam dev feature to install it to another directory.

Post subject:  The reason I asked is that

The reason I asked is that SourceHudEditor relies on ModInstallPath in the registry to get the user from. If you do not have that key in the registry then this program will fail, which is what it's currently doing.

I need to find another way to get that user then.

I don't see any mention of my steam username in the registry.

The only thing I can think of is if you have the program ask for it, or use the process of elimination for folder names, like not common, not downloading, not sourcemods, not temp so it must be xxxxx. But then you would run into issues of multiple accounts on 1 PC, or if there is another folder in there for some reason.

steam.log contains it,
CsComm Session Jul-16-2010 16:06:25.909 [4868] CreateSession(XXXXXXXX,47771,3)=0 attempt 1

On my system this file is getting kind of large (>30MB) so idk if it would be worth pulling from there.

Post subject:  Managed to get it working

Managed to get it working again by adding the ModInstallPath registry manually. Thanks dopefish for the awesome program, makes life so much easier. :D

Edit: As for the registry, you could probably call TF2 install directory from here?

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallSteam App 440]
   "DisplayIcon"="H:Steamsteamgames\033bdd91842b6aca0633ee1e5f3e6b82f2e8962f.ico"
   "DisplayName"="Team Fortress 2"
   "HelpLink"="http://support.steampowered.com/"
   "InstallLocation"="h:steamsteamapps<user>team fortress 2"
   "Publisher"="Valve"
   "UninstallString"=""H:Steamsteam.exe" steam://uninstall/440"
   "URLInfoAbout"="http://www.valvesoftware.com/"
   "NoRepair"=dword:00000001
   "NoModify"=dword:00000001
   


This probably only works for 64-bit version of Windows. The 32-bit version may not include the Wow6432Node in the registry. I won't know though.
