The reshuffle of the Orangebox package has been completed.

Orangebox is now a base install. From there you can choose to install the mods that work on OB separately.

If you had any of the OB games installed and they've stopped working, you may need to reinstall the OB base package, and any of the child packages you want to use.

Once they've been installed you may also need to run a reinstall again, with the advanced option to 'Verify the chosen installations match the latest content master version' to make it all work correctly.

It's probably pretty frustrating, but it's been done to minimise the size of the OB install, so if you wanted one game that uses the OB directory, you didn't have to have them all.

Excellent job, Steve. Been waiting for this since TF2 was released

Currently updating my content server. I'll let you know if there are any bumps
along the road.

BTW: Your packages.txt file seems to be missing the following game defs
which I have to add every time I fetch an updated version:

[Kybber]

You have a double entry for dodsource:

[Kybber]

Something is wrong here. After running hldsupdatetool to install tf2 into
the orange-box dir, I currently have the following directory structure on my
content server:

content/{linux,win32}/orange-box/{orangebox,hl2}

The orangebox dir contains these files and dirs:
bin hl2 srcds_i486 srcds_run tf

This all corresponds with the contents of packages.txt:

[Steve]

The double up of dodsource should now be gone from packages.txt and you should also find the cod entries added.

There's an updated package building script in the downloads section you should probably get.

As previously mentioned, if you've reinstalled the OB games, you may also need to run a reinstall again, with the advanced option to 'Verify the chosen installations match the latest content master version' to make it all work correctly.

[Kybber]

Thanks, the updated build-script seems to be working nicely

Does this mean the ftp will work again on garrysmod servers?

[Steve]

FTP should work but you would find it located in orange-box\orangebox\garrysmod now.

Steve,

The new Orange Box install fails!!!

With all the recent changes and no warnings is really pissing me off. Ive had to reinstall 8 servers now, and there is no SRCDS in the orange box install!!!!

I assume i now have to manually install each game server.

Edit:

This is installing Garrys Mod 10... no files are even downloaded. Go back to the way it was, it was working fine!!!

[Steve]

There's a few problems that are still being looked into. It won't be going back to the way it was however.

[MadDog986]

If i manually run the Gmod HLServer update the rest of the gmod files do install.
