a server question
« on: March 16, 2009, 04:19:00 am »

hey its everyones favorite noob again. i have a quick question. when i launch the game and go to "create server", people can actually join that server too right. reason im asking is because i made a server today and my boy said he didnt see it. is there something extra i have to do for people to join my server.

I believe all you have to do is put

sv_lan 0

in the console. You might have to change the map one time to make it work.

I also have trouble making non-dedicated servers. I'll put in sv_lan 0 and change the map several times and it never works. =(

To host non lan servers its best to use srcds: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Beta3_Server_Install

I got to step 3 and it doesn't recognize hldsupdatetool as a command.

And for step 4 I don't know what it's talking about about server files. As for step 6, how do I make a batch file?

That's the step you download the .zip version of the game, and extract them there.

...or copy your gesource folder from your Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\gesource

I got to step 3 and it doesn't recognize hldsupdatetool as a command.

And for step 4 I don't know what it's talking about about server files. As for step 6, how do I make a batch file?

STEP 2/3:


       If its not recognizing it as a command then make sure your pointing command prompt to the right location, so double check step 2.


cd [Install Dir]

so example might be:

Code: [Select]
cd C:\server



Then just type the "hldsupdatetool"

Then run the hldsupdatetool -command update -game orangebox -dir [Install Dir]
Example:

Code: [Select]
 hldsupdatetool -command update -game orangebox -dir c:/server

Should turn out something simular to this:





Step 4:

      Just put the gesource files there, can download files, or lazy way just copy your gesource folder to there from your sourcemods folder (see post above)



STEP 6:

To make a batch file is easy, just open up notepad, and type then commands you need, so:

Code: [Select]
srcds.exe -console -game gesource +map ge_runway +maxplayers 16

Then, File:Save As, file name will be "beta3.bat"  (INCLUDE THE QUOTES! SEE SCREENSHOT): Save as type: change to All Files.


And boom batch file.

Put that in the folder with the srcds.exe, so [Install Dir]\orangebox

Thanks Major. That worked. Now I still need to figure out step 6.
