ChineseChipmunk	I would post this in the comments section, but since no one reads those, evidently... Many of the HL2 mods I've tried simply don't show up in the Steam Games list. 2 examples for me are Mudkip and Rocket Crowbar: Source. Am I installing it wrong, or am I just mistaken? I extract/install it to steamapps/Source_Mods, but they didn't show up. Is there something I've overlooked?

ChineseChipmunk	Yeah, because I definitely didn't do that.

Wraiyth That Guy Who Does Those Things With The Stuff	No need to be a smart arse, remember who the one asking for help is. Are your mods in their own subfolder in the SourceMods directory? -- My Homepage

arklansman @_'-'	The correct directory is SteamApps/Sourcemods. --

ChineseChipmunk	Sorry bout that, but it just seemed like a really obvious answer. Um, yes, they are in their own subdirectory, and they are in Steamapps/Sourcemods.

Bytrix Annihilation Developer	Check the directory structure is correct, for example if you extracted a file called mymod.zip it could have done something like this: SteamApps/Sourcemods/mymod/mymod/[mod files] Where you infact want the mod files to be in SteamApps/Sourcemods/mymod/ (there should be a gameinfo.txt in this directory). That's my guess as to what you've done wrong anyway. -- Has anyone seen my companion cube?
