<div class="IPBDescription">What do you want us to do?</div> This is an open query to any of the devs or pts about what exactly Constellation members should do with regard to Steam.
Obviously our WONids are becoming obsolete, so what does Flayra want us to do? A special e-mail perhaps? PMs? I'd just like to know so I know what to do when I have my new Steam ID.
This could also be used by the Veterans to ask as well. Unless they already have the answer in their funky hidden forum <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Steam is good, much better than the current ingame server browser.
We will still be using won for another week atleast also.
I paid for Flayra's phat n3w p4d!
And I like steam :-)
Let's not make assumptions about steam yet.

<b>Important message for donors:</b> As you may have heard, Valve will soon be replacing Half-Life's WON ID system with Steam IDs. Players will be assigned a Steam ID when they first log in to Steam (Half-Life will be integrated into Steam when the next Half-Life update is released... you'll be able to get a Steam ID before then by downloading the commercial Steam installer when it's released on Wednesday, and creating an account).
This will mean the WON IDs that we've collected will be rendered useless... we'll need to contact all existing donors to check their Steam IDs. Don't start contacting me about it yet, though, thanks... any current Steam IDs will be wiped once Steam leaves beta, anyway. Just keep watching the Sven Co-op site for further information. Once the new version of Steam is online and everything is sorted out on our end, I'll post instructions.

So Flayra will have to wait unitll Steam is fully out, then get Steam ID's much like the WON ID's method. Hope this clears it up for all the Constellation members...
you would actually contact Erik Johnson
I hope it goes over smoothly
Yup, and working like crap <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

working like crap because the servers are being overloaded. it'll (hopefully) work itself out in a few weeks.

"There is no such thing as a secret Vet/PT forum.
There are no Vets/PTs.
You want to donate to constellation."

You can find a Steam version without CS if you search around.
It would have been much better if they just left WON on for Hl1 and mods, but Hl2 would need steam to work.
Awww...thanks for caring <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . I have the Steam/CS bundle from FilePlanet, it works fine for me, I'm getting pings of <200.
I'd have to say, I got it from FilePlanet, I've had NO problems at all (except for the NSing, I'm gonna leave that up to the NS dev team). I had the Steam from steampowered.com and was pulling my hair out!
I stayed up 'til midnight getting the updates, only to find the next morning the steam.exe self-deleted. Someone else had that problem on the steampowered.com forums, so I suggest you chaps either get it from FilePlanet, or be careful.
Oh sorry, didn't notice, feel free to move, delete etc....
Do you really think Gabe or any one at valve give 2 ***** about the names on that petition?
Online petitions are about as usefull as 1 ply toilet paper.
Alot of people forget that the WWW is international and freedom of speech doesn't mean too much when your not a citizen of the country where the choices are made. This isn't Sweeden and you can't vote no to this "Euro".
Valve will do what ever it wants and no amount of bitching will change a thing.
Also, why do you people in general always try to contact GABE.... ARE YOU BRAINLESS? Hes the man incharge, hes got teams of people to deal with the low end matters. He has a billion dollar company to run and you contacting him is pointless.. he'll never read it. He must get 2000 emails a day and he most likely doesn't even look at that email account.
Bottom Line ____________
Steam is here to stay and no amount of ******** is going to change anything!
What makes it *really* hilarious is that this is from the same people who gave you unlag code and streamlined the communication protocol of Half-life so that it would use extremely little bandwidth. (I remember them saying a shotgun shot went from using over 100 bytes to 3 bytes.)
I run 2, 30 player servers over at www.BattlefortheGalaxy.com and when I attempted to update both of them to Steam here's what I got:
Checking bootstrapper version...
Updating Installation...
Unknown game 'NS'
I got the same error whether I tried NS or ns.
So what this tells me is that NS currently is not supported by Steam. If I'm correct, that means the NS team has about 7-10 days (I don't remember what the hard deadline is for turning off the WonID system) to get their mod supported by Steam. If Valve turns off the WonID system before Steam supports NS, then NO ONE on the planet will be able to play on a NS server via the internet.
Just bringing this to everyone's attetion so we can get it addressed before alot of players realize they can't play NS anymore.
