"gameinfo.txt is not a valid format"

[Faneca]

I have installed FF 2.4.1 from the FF Wiki and installed it correctly and Steam as allready detected the mod.
The problem is when I start a error pops up:

e\installedprograms\steam\steamapps\<steamusername >\sourcemods\FortressForever\scripts\gameinfo.tx t is not a valid format.

Any ideia on how to fix this?


PS : Ive searched this forum and googled for 30 mins but nothing found, halp pl0x

Faneca, open your sourcemods\FortressForever folder, and see if you have a gameinfo.txt in there. Here's what your gameinfo.txt should be:

"GameInfo"
{
	game	"Fortress Forever"
	title	"Fortress Forever"
	name	"Fortress Forever"
	type multiplayer_only

	developer	"Fortress Forever Team"
	developer_url	"http://www.fortress-forever.com/"
	icon		"resource/icon_ff"
	manual		"http://www.fortress-forever.com/wiki/Main_Page"

	hidden_maps
	{
		"test_speakers"		1
		"test_hardware"		1
	}

	FileSystem
	{
		SteamAppId				215		// This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
		ToolsAppId				211		// Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
		
		//
		// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
		//
		// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
		// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
		//    For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
		// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
		// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
		//

		//
		// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
		//
		// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
		// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
		// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
		// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2.
		//
		SearchPaths
		{
			Game				|gameinfo_path|.
			Game				hl2
			Game				sourcetest
		}
	}
}

If it's not like the above, change yours to match it.

P.S. That's the gameinfo you use, Ricey?
