It's up and running. Looks like it's working right. I tried to connect and got the infamous Error verifying Steam UserID Ticket when I try to join. However other players are already there. So I connected via dialup to the INternet, it lets me in. Disconnected, tried again, and it let me in. Looks like Error verifying Steam UserID Ticket that others have discussed is very much still alive.
So, this is the trick. After you install HL2MP, you take the files from half-life source.gcf and half-life deathmatch source.gcf and copy them over to server directory, OVERWRITING any existing files. Once I did that, the server not only started, but is working. I have players now. Any kind souls want to drop by? I'm running at 8 players now, I'm going to just let it sit for a while, no mods, no nothing, just stock valve server, and see how stable it is. hostname: Ooks Steaming Pile of Crap version : 1.0.0.0/7 2733 secure udp/ip : 10.0.0.12:27015 map : undertow at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 4 (8 max) OoksServer.no-ip.info:27015 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
