Title: Help with new server.
Post by: NegroCollegeFund on June 28, 2009, 02:27:37 am

Hi, I just built a server and have tf2, css, and 2 samp servers running and all went fine. However, the GE:S server won't connect. It is there, I can add it to favorites and see it on the internet list, but when i try to connect, a progress bar appears and then disappears at the second bar of progress. I can connect to other servers, and I've had others try to connect to mine to no avail. How can I begin to remedy this? Anything else I should know while I'm here in regards to opening a server?

In addition, I wanted to see how this marquee command works.

Thanks fellas, and totally badass game, I shat brix when I found goldeneye 64 for pc.

did you make sure the download content for the engine was the "Orangebox" files and not "tf"?

I want you to do the following:

1. Enable the developer console (press ~ to bring it up) through the options menu.
2. Bring up the console (press ~)
3. Type in: developer 1
4. Press Enter
5. Type in: connect <server ip address>:27015
    ex. connect 68.33.45.22:27015
6. After it fails, go back into the console and copy everything you can and paste it on this thread between [code ] [/code ] brackets

Hi I'm working on the server with him.

I followed those instructions and got just this:

"Invalid Steam key size."

This issue is caused by valve changing the Steam ID's for the OrangeBox based games.
Before it was STEAM_0... now it's STEAM_1... rest of the ID remains the same.

However, i think the not updated mods (notice, there's a patch to 3.1.4 for GES which ain't got the problem anymore) still sending the old ID's while the servers would only accept the new ones, or vice verse.

Be sure to have the latest version of GES installed AND your server is updated to the latest version, too.

Update your source dedicated server by typing the following into your command prompt:

c:\[PATH_TO_SRCDS]\hldsupdatetool -command update -game "orangebox" -dir C:\[PATH_TO_SRCDS] -verify_all

Then make sure you have a steam.inf file in your /gesource directory.
If you don't create one and open it in notepad then input:

Code: [Select]

appID=218

and save.
