Why is Underhell not appearing in my steam library?

[SaltyCultist]

I have source SDK base 2007, I have extracted the Underhell file into my source mods folder, it's all on the same drive, why isn't it appearing in my steam library?!

i think you should restart steam. if theres a README text file in it read it, maybe there are extra steps.

I restarted steam multiple times, and the README just states the obvious:

"============================
I.INSTALLATION
============================

1. Make sure you have Source SDK Base 2007 installed (Half Life 2 is NOT required). To install it, go to the "Library" window on Steam, select "Tools", and install "Source SDK Base 2007".

2. Extract the rar file into the following folder /../steam/steamapps/sourcemods

3. Restart Steam. You should see "Underhell" in your game library."

but thanks for the reply!

do you have HALF LIFE 2 or 1 installed? there is a video on how to install it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY3Rad1ccDM watch it and follow the tutorials.

Is literally everything on the same drive, or do you segregate your game content from Steam itself? Check again.

Source mods only work if they're placed where Steam is, even if you install it "correctly" it won't work on another drive.
You can get around this with symlinks[i.imgur.com].

Also be warned, Underhell will crash a lot.

What do you mean by "segregate your game content from Steam itself?".

Also for the record, i literally don't have another drive to put it on.

What he meant is that if you have let's say Steam installed on D: but your game library on E:, Source mods must be placed in the Sourcemods directory on D:, inside the Steam directory.

Since you only have a single drive, the problem lies elsewhere.
