    So that's why Steam kept trying to update.

    On a side note, this whole "spinning Master Chief" thing has got to stop. Every time I go to these forums and try to read a post I feel like I'm going insane.

    My life has been quoted before... You just couldnt understand if I tried to explain! If you where to suddenly to understand the quoting of my life your brain would catch on fire and the world would pop like a pop-corn kernel.

    To get a little on topic, how many pre-loads are there planned?

    Well, unless the admins make a rule which says "Spinning Master Chief Heads are not allowed" we are keeping them... Or until we get bored. It will require some time no matter which comes first.

    Encryption? You can open the GCFs in GCFScape. You can extract the files. There is a HL2.exe. I can't be arsed to extract all of them, but I imagine Valve has done something to the files themselves to prevent them from running. But whadda I know... they might just assume people are too stupid to try opening the "encrypted" GCFs in the first place.

    Edit: Yeah a bunch of the files themselves are encrypted, but not HL2.exe. It works fine, just missing some DLLs that I imagine will come only once HL2 is released.

    Does every preload really need its own topic? You <i>could</i> just make 1 thread and then bump that.

    Just so everyone knows. The .gcf files are not encrypted because you can browse them. The inside files are encrypted because you can't run them.

    Extract the models with GCFScape. then open them with a model viewer. If it is the HL2 stuff you can't view them because they are encrypted.


    Edit: Also it's not wanting to preload for me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> *sniff* Must be a full server.
