Greenlight? More like Greenlit!
September 12th, 2012 by Maxx
And it is all thanks to you! We could never have done this without the support of all of our fans who took the time to download the game and give us their thumbs-up on Greenlight.
So after years of turmoil, struggle and hard work, the team is proud to announce that thanks to the community’s generous support we have officially met the requirements of Valve’s Greenlight process. This news represents a turning point in NMRIH’s development cycle, as we will soon have the full support of Valve and its ever-growing community. Although this means major positive changes for the way NMRIH fans get the latest updates and support, NMRIH has always been, and will remain a free modification for Half-Life 2.
We won't be on Steam for a while yet, though. There are some legal and technical details that we need to address before the game will be available on Steam. We are working tirelessly to make this a reality as quickly as possible. It will be good for us, good for you, and good for the game.
Thank you all again so much, this is really like a dream come true and something I personally never expected would happen. But it did happen, and it happened because of you guys. We are all just happy that you like the game!

Greenlight
We are on Steam Greenlight! If we receive enough upvotes the mod could appear officially on Steam. This extends our reach to a much larger audience, allows us to add more content per update, and get those updates out much more often. It also makes installation a breeze just like any other game you own on Steam. No More Room in Hell will still be 100% free. Everybody wins. Remember, Greenlight is not a competition so upvote other great titles while you are at it!

Hello folks! We would like to thank everyone for being patient with 1.05. The update is in content lockdown and is undergoing testing for a release very soon! Right now however, we are on Steam's newest and most ambitious feature: GREENLIGHT! What is Greenlight? It gives indie and mod developers a chance to get their games Steam support. What does this mean for No More Room in Hell?
- Easy installation
- Faster updates to the game
- Reaching a much wider audience of players
All it takes is enough votes from the people who want all of the above! Don't worry, No More Room in Hell will always be 100% free.
Server Owners Please Read!

(Possible Solution to Master Server Issue)
Hello,
After doing some investigating with Chanz, I've found a solution to get your server back onto the NMRiH Server Browser! Spread the word!
Note: This is for server owners only, clients won't benefit from this (unless you're hosting a listen server, it might work?)
Chanz
Follow those 4 easy steps as SERVER OWNER (every server owner has to do this, its no use if you try this on your client)!
1. Open your 'server.cfg' with a text editor (you'll find it in "nmrih/cfg/").
2. Paste the following at the END of it:
//*******************************************************
// Master Server Settings
//*******************************************************
//Disable this since steam master servers won't support it anymore.
sv_master_legacy_mode 0
//Send server ready notice. Should be the last line of the config.
heartbeat
//*******************************************************
3. Save the file and put it back on your server.
4. Restart your server OR type "exec server.cfg" (without "") into your server console (HLSW, rcon or sm_rcon works as well).
Your servers should be visible again!
And if you're a Linux server owner and have missed the previous news posts, we've recently updated our linux binaries which should help resolve some crash issues! (This is the July 3rd Linux Binaries, if you've already downloaded it before from a previous news post you don't need to do so again)
You can download it >here<
