HLDJ won't detect any games

Post by surgedark »

So I downloaded HLDJ for the first time, and it can't find any steam games. There is just a big empty space, what should I do?

Also, steam games I plan to use this with is: TF2, L4D2, CSS, Battlegrounds 2

You might try starting the games at least once, sometimes the files HLDJ looks for are not generated until the game is started for the first time. Other than that you can try Add instead of Add All, and explicitly point it at your game directory.

I tried loading some of the games but it still doesn't appear, and I can't use the "add" button because it requires me to load the sound files (which are wave files) and HLDJ can't detect that either.

Using "Add" doesn't require anything other than a valid game directory.

Alright, I got HLDJ to detect the games, but it still doesn't detect the sound files.

Well I loaded CSS and it said in the console HLDJ loaded successfully.

This is what I did when I downloaded the sound files, I unrared them and put them in a new folder called "Sounds."

Then I loaded up CSS from HLDJ and HLDJ loaded successfully, I exited out of CSS, clicked "Setup" and in Audio Directory I clicked on the Sounds folder but it won't detect any of actual files in the folder.

Alright, well HLDJ loads successfully and the other steps I am unable to do due to not being able to choose a song.

But in regards to step 5, I do not have a mic and may need to do some reconfiguring.
