Counter-strike:Source upgraded to SteamPipe

We've upgraded Counter-Strike Source to the new content delivery system, SteamPipe.

Steam will perform a one-time conversion process the next time you run the game.

The benefits to players are:
* Faster downloads
* Faster boot times
* Faster map load times
* More flexible ways to organize custom and downloaded content

This change affects the way files are organized on your hard disk:
* The game is now in the steamapps/common folder, not a folder per user.
* Files downloaded from gameservers go in the cstrike/download folder.
* There is a new folder, cstrike/custom, intended as the location to put your custom files.
* .GCF files are not used.
* .VPK files are used for official content and can also be used to distribute client-side mods.

Further details can be found at this FAQ.

You need to look into sprays and why they're not working even if you relocate everything to the commons folder.

Thanks you Valve. I have made maps for 6 years. I had 3,207 hours with Source SDK and similar hours modelling things for that game. Now I know that i lost all that for an update. Did you ever think before the upgrade that you could damage to those people who contribute to that game?

This is because your game hasn't updated to the new steampipe version.

This new update sucks! Nothing is working anymore and my server don't want to get the update... I think, that this game has more bugs today as it was released back in 2004. Thank you, Valve. Every month something is not working. It is never boring...
