Uh oh- has CS update broken MetaMod?

This could be bad-

My Counterstrike 1.6 just updated itself (despite my having set it to never do so), and now it crashes after choosing a map... I suspect this is a metamod incompatibility that was introduced with the update? Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts on a fix?

you sure you set it up right?
do you have a folder called cstrike/dlls with a file called mp.dll in it?

Well, it was set up right and working like a charm before the update... my metamod dll is in addons/metamod/dlls, and the path in liblist.gam matches. Does anyone else have this problem?

okay try this...
change it to point to the mp.dll then start up a listen server then close it then change it to point at metamod.dll and try to start up listen server.

Hmm, that's odd. My mp.dll is no longer in the dlls directory. That must be the problem. why would the steam updater delete that? Could they have renamed it? At least it's not longer certain that metamod got trumped... just need to find my dll around somewhere!

Thanks for the help sPlOrYgOn- I was about to lose my head there since I have a project due using CS this Friday!

just follow my instructions and the dll will appear...

You're the best! Does Steam just download dlls that it finds missing?

And for the record, it appears that this update has NOT broken metamod- my bots are back up and running as well as before .

Thanks again,

what it actually did was delete the dll because it was old then it extracted the new dll from the steam cache file..

I had the same problem but i found it to be the liblist.gam valve added another line or something to the new liblist so i just edited that one

My liblist.gam is read-only. Steam hasn't finished updating yet but I hope it won't break the update ? ?
