Silent Hill 1 added to the Left 4 Dead server

For you puzzlers out there we have added the new version of Silent Hill 1 (v7.1). Freshly from l4dmaps. Earlier versions didn’t want to play nicely with dedicated servers, but this one starts up OK, although I haven’t played it through yet.

Did a little test run with =TheHulk= Verminator tonight and made it about half way through the second map without noticable glitches. Looks like a creative and creepy campaign.

According to the TF2 blog. This will be a very hard class to update in a balanced way IMHO.

Upcoming Steam facelift in public beta

The upcoming facelift of the Steam platform is now in public beta. Read all about it here.

One of the nifty new features is that the overlay now features a real browser with support for https://. I’m not that fond of the game list though. It takes up a LOT of space and gets rather messy if you have 30+ games.

If you run a non-English windows you need to patch this file:

Go to folder
Steam\resource\styles
Open steam.styles in your favorite editor.
Change basefontbold=”Arial bold” to ”Arial”

I can’t believe that Steam messed that up – they have quite a few international users..

Small facelift

=TheHulk= Verminator created a new logo with colors from the Arena Dust map. I modified the theme CSS slightly to get the right colors overall.
