I have a hl2 DM server but I don't even start it anymore... nobody was ever in it. I also have a hl DM server that always has people playing. Gotta tell you something.
I don't know about CS and the other mods but for standard hl DM it's all about game play. Graphics are pretty and it's kinda interesting (I guess) to be able to shoot bottles and stuff... but those things don't interest hl DM players. Speed, movement and game play (read kills)... that's what hl DM players want. HL2 DM is too much like CS to keep a HL DM player interested. I'm not saying one's better than the other... they just appeal to different types. -----Original Message----- From: Frazer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 11:52 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] HL Source DM server out yet Try this in a cmd file: cd c:\somedir\hlserver HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "hl2mp" -dir . pause That will get you the dedicated HL2 DM server files, if you do not already have them. Run the server as you would any other dedicated Source (srcds) server. There are several methods, ranging from running it from a console to wrapping it as a service with either FireDaemon or srvany. If you running on a Windows host and want to try my modest ogsWatcher app to wrap your dedicated server and keep it running, you can download the latest version here: http://gearbox.oathill.com/cbb/files/16/ogswatcher/entry54.aspx Very simple to set up and detailed documentation included to explain how to configure individual game server instances.

Is there any update on this? I notice that there are still just a handfull of servers out there, all appear to be listenservers, all mostly empty. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
