TF2C not appearing

[Tsagu]

So I have downloaded the full installer client, extracted to the the sourcemods on my G: drive which is my steam hard drive. I have downloaded the 2013 SDK Multiplayer base and set the betas as Upcoming followed by restarting steam. The game does not show up in my list at all, even while I have Games selected instead of Installed.

So it seems I figured it out. When I extracted straight into my sourcemods folder, this "TF2C_2_0_0b1" folder was the first one in line to be read, not "tf2classic"

simple mistake, but let this be a helpful tip for anyone else installing.

I did it correctly, still nothing.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

How are you getting the folder "tf2classic"? All I'm getting is that TF2C_2_0_0b1 file that I can't open.

You need a programm that can handle 7z archives. (Windows explorer can only open Zip files).

Some popular solutions are 7-ZIP (free/open source) or WinRAR (proprietary / 40 day trial)

 

[rewalzzz]

Haha. Figured it out. I didn't have a 7z file extractor even installed on my computer. Download WinZip.

I used winrar to extract it.
Does that make any difference?

do what do i do i extracted it and it doesn't appear i did everything but like you said TF2C_2_0_0b1 is first but i can open it and it has tf2classic? do i get rid of the TF2C_2_0_0b1 and put the tf2classic folder outside of it?

@PoottooP No.

@Daddy_Bonk
Uhm, you need to extract/put the tf2classic folder into the sourcemods folder.
Then you should get

sourcemods\tf2classic

.

sourcemods/TF2C_2_0_0b1/tf2classic

and

sourcemods/TF2C_2_0_0b1.zip

are wrong.
