Hosting a dedicated server issues
skourbion:
I am kinda new to Goldeneye: Source and I want to host a dedicated server. I have tried following the wiki guide here: http://dev.goldeneyesource.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Server
I've also used: http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=HL2Guides.Detail&id=4&game=3
to help set it up.
but I get confused at this part "You will also need the Goldeneye Source dedicated server files from the list of mirrors supplied below." found near the top. I cannot find these files anywhere. Are these just the 'gesource' files that the game is made of, or are there seperate files I need?
I've downloaded Source dedicated server, made a folder in 'c:\' called SRCDS. All of the files that I downloaded through the hldsupdatetool (hl2mp) are in this folder, and I set it up through windows command. I have set these values: -console -game gesource -tickrate 33 -ip 192.168.1.5 -port 27015 -maxplayers 10 +map ge_facility
and it shows up in GES (sometimes). But when I try to join, 2 bars is what loads and after a while it says "connection failed after four retries". I am not sure whether I am meant to have the 'gesource' folder just pasted in there.
this picture: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc91/samkourbeis/GES/1.jpg is my 'C:\SRCDS' folder. It has the 'gesource' folder from 'C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods' in it. Apart from the gesource folder, everything in this first picture was downloaded from hldsupdatetool as a hl2mp game.
This picture: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc91/samkourbeis/GES/2.jpg is just the inside of my gesource folder (game folder). Just wanted to run it by you guys to see if its ok.
So is my source dedicated server folder (picture 1) right? or do I need to move either the server folder (picture 1) to 'C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods' in the gesource folder, OR do something else with the gesource folder inside the 'C:\SRCDS' folder.
I really appreciate your help guys.
p.s. here is a screenshot of my forwarded ports since I am behind a wireless router: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc91/samkourbeis/GES/3.jpg
As you guys can tell I'm kinda new to this stuff, but I am learning quickly :P

Nothing separate. You just need the 'gesource' files, the server binaries (windows/linux) are already included.
Never had this kind of error, so can't help you. But vista... erm. On the first two sreenshots, everything looks ok. Dunno for the last one since Im using a dedicated hardware.

so the 'gesource' folder is what I need, and since you said the screenies looked on, then i have it right.
yeh vista, its kinda shit cos im used to xp since it came out.
btw how would I host a 1.1 server?
do u think that the windows firewall in vista may be blocking it from functioning?

^ DO I NEED TO PUT A STRONG ENPHASIS ON THE FACT THAT NO ONE "HAK" IN GOLDENEYE SOURCE?

I guess you copied/pasted the files you use to play? If so, try with a clear 'gesource'. Try to check your srcds installation too (with -command update), you maybe miss some files.

Same as client installation. Merge the updated files you can find in the 1.1 zip/rar with the 'gesource' folder, and then rename it gesbeta1_1. But you need to have a working 1.0 installation...

No clue for me here. Building a server on a local hardware with all vista's shits isn't a good idea, in my opinion. I don't even know if valve made his server soft vista-compatible :P.
