Hldsupdatetool no longer working, how to install server using SteamCMD?

(1/9) > >>

BulletDust:
I have tried and tried to set up a dedicated Goldeneye Source server using Hldsupdatetool.exe, but try as I might it just doesn't seem to work anymore - I'm almost certain I'm doing everything right.

I've tried dropping the DS files into an existing SteamCMD configuration but the server begins to start then immediatly closes. Is there any way to get the server running under SteamCMD?

Calystos:
I'm somewhat curious about this issue since Valve have pushed HL2:DM, TF2, CS:S, an so on all to steampipe now. And are phasing out the hldsupdatetool completely.

BulletDust were you able to get it working via a steamcmd/steampipe based installation?

Or has anyone else attempted doing a fresh install using steamcmd/steampipe base instead of the old hldsupdatetool? Is it even possible (as-is that is) to install and run a GoldenEye: Source dedicated server based on a steampipe HL2/etc core or would the mod require a rewrite to work on that stuff now?

killermonkey:
Hmmmmm.... it doesn't look like they ported over the "orangebox" game into SteamCMD.

I am going to see what I can do, I downloaded HL2 DM and TF2. I will try to build against those binaries are see what happens. The update will come with 4.2.3

kraid:
Project Valkyrie used TF2 as a mod base before Source SDK 2007 was released.
Back then, I bought TF2 just because i wanted to be able to play the mod.

killermonkey:
I tried to recompile (success!) using the new steamcmd downloads. Then I tried hosting via the srcds_run within hl2mp and tf2 and neither one of them made any progress.

I cannot glean any information from the debug output either... it seems to be croaking before it even loads the GES server binary.

We might have to wait until they port over the Source SDK 2007 and/or orangebox.

The old orangebox still works, servers show up in the server browser. I could package up the old install and just side-distribute that as a meantime fix.
