Changing The Game Name In Steam?

StrykarStrykar Join Date: 2004-06-26 Member: 29542Members
in NS Customization
I run several different modified versions of the game, all backed up in my Steamaps folder, the thing is, they all come up as "Natural Selection (Beta)" in the Steam game's list, is there a way to change the name of each backup file?

Ie: I want my AvP skinned Natural Selection to say "Natural Selection (AvP)" instead of "Natural Selection (Beta)"

Thanks in advance.

    Open liblist.gam in notepad and change the game name thing up the top.

    Hmmm, shortly after this my game got weird... it worked for a bit and i went away to play SWG, came back, loaded up the game, one of the games was reset to natural selection (beta) so i played the one that was still correctly named and got the normal half life menu screen with gordon... then when i tried to join a NS game, it said my game.dll differed from the server's?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Did this to several servers....

    I meant "client.dll" by the way...

    Anyways, i tried replacing the modded client.dlls with the one i used in my backup to no avail.... i have no idea what happened, so any ideas are greatly welcomed.

    You cant join online games if youve got a different client.dll.
    I thought that would be obvious :-P

    Who said i ever changed my client.dll?

    I sure didn't...

    And even if that was the case, im using the one that game with the game now anyways, but that doesnt change a thing.

    <span style='color:orange'>I left this much up so people would know what I mean when I say things like "Formatted Flame." They are needsessly long, highly annoying, and above all against all anti-insult and anti-flaming rules we've established. Whenever I see one of these things, it's a *big* influence on my thinking to myself "Does this member want a ticket to tempbansville?" For your own sake, I recommend NOT doing this again.</span>

    You're the one who started stirring up **** with the spam post. It's not like you've been attacked by someone out of the blue. Use common sense, such as not posting useless spam posts or insulting random people and you won't be "shot down"(he wasn't even slightly rude!).

    Hmm, i do believe you have derailed my thread, good sir...

    I must thank you for forcing members to sort through your garbage posts to find the answer.

    Since you appear to be some sort of child, ill give you what you're probably looking for:

    <b>You have the last word, so take it... You are a <i>mega awesome genius and all the newbies on the boards should lick the dirt from your oh-so awesome boots</i></b>



    Yea, that's sarcasm my friends.

    i'd just like to point out that i found this thread useful since i've tried figuring out how to do the same thing. i fail to see how there was any spam, save for possibly when Strykar made multiple posts in a row instead of editting his previous post, but i don't think that deserved all the sarcasm from Bl/\ck_\/!p3r and if anything, Bl/\ck_\/!p3r, you were the one spamming. thank you and have a good day <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The reason for the multiple posts was not for the purpose of raising my post count or anything, im simply used to my primary board which has time limits on the edits, I just found out that there is not a time limit here.

    Anyways, im glad this thread helped you! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    First off this is a spam thread, not onle was the problem was asked in the wrong place to start...
    But when the problem was answered someone started to bring up a totaly different subject, aka the client.dll problem...
    And not only did this person bring up another subject but he double posted 2 different times, a big no no...
    Im not tryin to be mean or start any problems, but when he said that about me i got mad, and flamed him over him spaming his thread...
    Bl/\ck_\/!per does not spam, i just, well spamed, and well at least i got the last word...
    Sorry for the inconvience.

    Too bad i can't close my own thread, this is senseless. If any mods read this, please close this thread.

    I could easily counter all the thing you just said but it would only lead to more stupid replies.
