Hey, I was just wondering how to add achievements to a source mod, such as one you created.
I know you can, because I've seen other mods with them. Is there a certain file you have to include?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not entirely certain, but I think achievements can only be added to Source Mods which have been chosen by Valve to run on Steamworks?

Oh, I would've thought so. Dystopia had it, and it was chosen by Valve. :sigh:
I think Garry's Mod had achievements before Steam put the official ones on
I can imagine that since Achievements are tied to account, Valve want to be sure that only mods of a certain standard of quality and popularity are given them so people's accounts don't fill up with 'trash' achievements from 5 minute mods

That's true. But what if I wanted to have "un-official" achievements that still worked like the ones in EP2, except they weren't parented with the STEAM account?
They had unofficial achievements as a garrysmod addon. You could open that up and edit it with notepad++. Not sure if that will work but the number of boxes I'm rated will tell me so.

It's lua, so it most likely wouldn't.
You could code your own achievement system, and just have it tied to the game somehow, by like saved files or something.
Well, I've been working on a sourcemod, but have no idea where to begin, but I have been looking into an achievement system too.
