CS Source - Installation etc

[Grad]

Finally got a machine capable of running Source. Whats the best way to go about installing HL2 and then CS? i.e. should I install from the DVD then run the steam conversion thingy or just install steam and let it download. Not installed it since it first came out and can't remember what I did

Depends on how long you want to wait mate.

I would install from the dvd then let it update, otherwise you've got to download a truck load of data from steam.

Ok - just seemed to remember having issues with the steam conversion proggy last time round. Think i ended up doing something stupid which meant i ended up with two steam ids and huge amounts of lost diskspace

Anyway will give it a go and then find some servers

Also..

Anbody here got experience with converting 1.6 config to a Source config?

 

[Grad]

ok that makes sense

I don't use Mousewheel to select weapons - I prefer to have keys bound for guns and nades. I can get a key for primary and secondary weapon but can't bind the nades?

btw if there's a good site for this then I'm all ears as google is not being my friend today

edit: Also you could assign a function to 2 keys - so slot 1 would be number 1 and mouse3 for instance enabling you to continue to navigate menus. Last time I looked Source doesn't allow this. Still true?

Unless you can do it by editing the config directly, then nope, you still can't have alternate keys for the same binds. I know because I do the same with having mouse buttons bound to slots1-4, and CS:S annoys me that I can't have the number keys work when I do that. Like I said though, try messing with config itself, and then write-protecting it.

You play much source then pal? What servers if so and do u have xfire
