So the EX cant search for the servers now 0_o
but i've got 2 different versions
one is for maps and it couldnt search servers UNTILL NOW
and the second is EX itself which was for playing and cant search servers now =\

So , if you want to manage this stuff workin as mine you have to
download mod again if dont have it
then startup source SDK and change engine to 2007 ver
then create simple MP mod with name Exterminatus and located in sourcemods/Exterminatus
After that put EX files in your new created mod and restart steam
This is actually works well for mapping , you dont have to currect the gameinfo file and....i dont know , but mine sdk somehow saves the .bsp in both mods map folders

have a nice day

i have 3 ex game versions one for testing maps "ex2" one for gaming "ex game" one for hammer settings "ex test"
if i map i rename "ex test" to "ex" (cant find servers but i can map)
if i play online i rename "ex game" to "ex" (find servers can'2 map)
"ex test" has gameinfo 440 and is for hammer settings
"ex game" and "ex2" has gameinfo 218 and is for testing and gaming online

For creater of maps:
-copy your current game 2 times
-rename "ex2" and "ex normal"
-"ex test" gameinfo "440"
-"ex2" gameinfo "218"
-"ex game" gameinfo "218"

-rename "ex test" to "ex" (for mapping)
-restart/start Steam
-start Source SDK
-Game Engine 2009
-Edit Game Configurations
-add "ex" with game directory x:\x\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\ex

Hammer Editor:
Tools - Options -

Game Configurations
Game Executable Directory:
$SteamUserDir\Source SDK Base
Game Directory:
$SteamDir\steamapps\sourcemods\ex
Hammer VMF Directory:
$SteamDir\steamapps\sourcemods\sourcesdk_content\ex2\mapsrc

Build Programms
Configuration:
"ex"

Game executable:
$SteamUserDir\Source SDK Base\hl2.exe
BSP:
$SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vbsp.exe
VIS:
$SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vvis.exe
RAD:
$SteamUserDir\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\vrad.exe
compiled maps running game:
$SteamDir\steamapps\sourcemods\ex2\maps

and done!
now you can easily change the name of the folders to map/testing or gaming

(
-if you would play ex online rename "ex" to "ex test"
-rename "ex game" to "ex"
-restart/start steam and its ready
)

cheers

=O
you aint searchin an easy ways , dont you?
thats just too musch

Thats the problem there guys , you are trying to map for 2009 , thats why you have to do all that shit to manage it to work
face it , its a mod for 2007 version , the ep2 mods are 2009 only

I just change the SteamAppId from 218 (play ex normally) to 440 (map ex as 2009) in the  gameinfo file in the ex directory.

No double versions, no complex crap just change that one identifier before i open it up. Had valve not borked the hell out of hammer not too long ago, it would not be a problem.

i know that way but....dont you hate to change this freakin file every time you want to make a map then test it or play EX
as one solid mod can make it all works with test and stuff

once again , its not belong the 2009 engine

[Loxn]

or you make a .bat file with delete gameinfo and copy 440 etc.

[Nqss]

and then edit like all shortcuts and setting in hammer to work with the .bat
but it wouldn't help much because when you runnin map for test its run it with steam
