Mod does not appear in game list
The mod installed in D:\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods
I did restart my steam client and pc also, nothing changes it just doesnt appear there.
I've downloaded the full thing, unless the patch installer takes over 700mb of space 
.
So any ideas what's wrong?

Re: Mod does not appear in game list
My apologies, I honestly can't believe I missed that. I'll try not to let it happen again.
In your SourceMods folder, do you have a folder called "portal prelude" or a load of folders (maps, models, materials etc.)? If so, make a portal prelude folder and shift them all in there.
If you've got a folder called "portal prelude" are all of those folders in there or do you have another "portal prelude" folder? If so, move that folder into the main SourceMods directory.
Also, I noticed you've got Steam installed on D. Is that the same drive that Portal is on? If so, is it a Steam version of Portal.

Re: Mod does not appear in game list
Yes, everything with steam is in D since i use C only for windows and programs, and since steam has games in it i put it in D. Yes mod has a separate folder in sourcemods folder.
No there is no prelude folder in the prelude folder. <--- tricky answer.

Re: Mod does not appear in game list
In that file you should have:
"GameInfo"
{
game "Portal: Prelude"
title "Portal: Prelude"
type singleplayer_only
nodifficulty 1
hasportals 1
nocrosshair 1
nomodels 1
developer "Nicolas 'NykO18' Grevet"
developer_url "http://www.portalprelude.com"
manual "http://www.portalprelude.com/forum"
icon "resource/prelude"
FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 400
ToolsAppId 211
SearchPaths
{
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game portal
Game hl2
}
}
}
If you don't, get rid of everything in the file, paste that in and restart Steam.

Most of these people don't even have Portal installed or at least not in a legal way.
Believe me, I receive a lot of boring emails.

Re: Mod does not appear in game list
Hi, I have a similar problem, so I didn't make another topic.
I installed everything (from Orange Box) like this:
D:/Games/Orange Box
D:/Games/Orange Box/SteamApps/SourceMods
Is there a way, that the problem's with the "Orange Box" folder, instead of "Steam"?
It did it automatically, and if possible, I don't want to reinstall everything...
Oh, by the way, the installed games through Steam:
- Hl2
- HL2 - Ep 1
- HL2 - Ep 2
- HL2 - Lost Coast
- Portal
- TF2
- Source SDK
- Source SDK Base
- Source SDK Base - Orange Box

Re: Mod does not appear in game list
I don't understand how you're able to install the Orange Box this way.
It should be in the Steam folder... or maybe that the retail version installs itself like this, I don't know.
I can't help, I know nothing about this kind of installation.

It does not. I own the retail version and it installed in the C:\Program Files\Steam\[etc.] directory like normal Steam games.
