Error when starting new server
« on: September 03, 2014, 04:11:42 am »

I followed the instructions on the wiki page, but when I press start server I get this error:

"C:\Program\gameinfo.txt is missing"

I searched google found this error for other source games but not sure how to fix it for starting a goldeneye source server. I am able to play the game just fine. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like you didn't put the path to your GES install in quotes.

It looks like, in the start script, you added something like

-game C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource

which, without quotes, gets parsed as: C:\Program

Just put the path in quotes:
-game "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource"

I still get the same error message, this is what I put in when I found the correct location of the game.

-game  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\sourcemods\gesource" +maxplayers 16 +map ge_archives

Make sure you're starting the server with -console. In my last experience with it, the GUI was broken.

add "-console" after srcds.exe, do not remove anything.

Ok It looks like it works, but when I try to find the server its not listed. Do you see any glaring errors in the code? cause it looks greek to me lol.

For the same local network the server's on, it'll appear in LAN tab. If others can't view it in the Internet tab or connect directly, you haven't portforwarded (27000-27050, udp/tcp, inbound). If you don't know how to do that, you probably shouldn't be running a public server.
