How do I rename the starter.fsp folder plz?

Hi,

I'm having trouble with Hammer and I think it's to do with having the "." in the "Starter.fps" folder name, so my question is what do I need to do to change the folder name? (other than right click "rename")

I was told I have to edit some ini files?

Thanks

Simply rename Starter.fps to whatever you want.

Then open up /example/main.cs and change this line:

$defaultGame = "starter.fps";

to whatever you renamed your folder.

I've renamed my starter.fps folder and now whenever I try to load the game I get this message:

-=Disconnect=-
"You do not have the correct version of the FPS starter kit or the related art needed to play on this server.
Please contact the server operator for more information. (starter.fps/data/shapes/particles/smoke)"

I know that I do have that smoke image in the particles folder. This error only occurs if I change the name of the starter.fps folder (and yes I've edited my main.cs to reflect the change). If I change it back I won't get the error.

Also, if I go through the *.cs files pertaining to this smoke image, they all call for the "~./data....etc" file. So it's not like that particular file was called using the starter.fps folder name. I'm thinking the problem lies somewhere in the creator or other folder. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

If you have Torsion, you can do a Find and Replace for the "starter.fps" keyword and replace it with the name of the folder that you are currently using.

I had the demo version and tried that. Once that was done I recieved the same general error but instead of the (starter.fps....etc) error, I received an (Invalid Pack) error. So I went back in and changed it all back to starter.fps and it works fine....not really sure where the problem is stemming from.

I do still want to thank you for your help! I appreciate it!!

Edit:

...of course now that I say that it seems to be working just fine now. All I did was restart my computer and then it popped up just fine.

Thank you again! At least that little headache is over ;)
