The Fix
1)Deleted ~/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob
this will fix the bad userid or password prob.
2)delete steam
3) run ./hlsupdatetool.bin
this will make a new steam file
4) run ./steam -update hl2mp ./ youruserid yourpassword Y
-if your steam file is not up to date
*this should update the steam file to 12
*run 4b.. aka the command again
4b)run ./steam -update hl2mp ./ youruserid yourpassword Y
Notice that the -commands are missing, this is not at all what the help/info screen will tell you when you run ./steam (that is where i got screwed up)
The old Errors:
Im trying to install HL2DM on my linux box.
I did manage to install CS:S using a older version of steam, if i try to use the same version to install HL2DM it will install HL1 (hlds) in a folder called HL2DM.
installed new steam update program:
steam -version = bootstrapper version 12
>bad password
try: ./steam -update -game hl2dm myuserid my-password
error: Connection Closed by Peer.
>good password
try: ./steam -update -game hl2dm myuserid mypassword
error: Login failed. This account does not exist, or the password is incorrect.
?steam accounts for HL1 and HL2 based game not the same?
make new account:
try: ./steam -create newaccountname mypassword myq mya
error: invalid email address
try: ./steam -create myemail@myhost.com mypassword myQ myA
error: AuthenticationServerRSAPublicKey failed signature verification
