Thanks Tony and Adam - your help is appreciated. I will try this stuff out tonight.
So I've got the srcds updated and installed in a folder. I get it to download all the hl2dm files. I then try the following command in the command prompt: e:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game hl2dm +map dm_lockdown +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate and absolutely nothing happens. No error, no new window, nothing. It just does back to the command prompt. What am I doing wrong? :( Once I get that working - I'm assuming all I need to do alter my gameinfo file as below, place my mod in the /orangebox/ folder and replace the "hl2dm" in the command above with "mymod"? Sorry for the 20 questions - thanks for the help thus far. I know it's getting a little off-topic... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony "omega" Sergi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 1:25 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] MountFilesystem(312) failed > you dont have to copy anything, that's what the change to gameinfo.txt is > for. > > SearchPaths > { > Game |gameinfo_path|. > Game |all_source_engine_paths|hl2 > } > > the all source engine paths thing is for the dedicated server. > because ep1 is for example > srcds\bin > srcds\hl2 > srcds\hl2mp > srcds\someep1mod > and orange box is > srcds\orangebox\bin > srcds\orangebox\tf > srcds\orangebox\someobmod > > > so if you've got an orange box mod in the orangebox folder, your > gameinfo.txt needs that for search path so it can load the content and > whatnot from srcds\hl2 so there's no duplication. > > On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 6:39 AM, Adam Buckland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> You have to access the hldsupdatetool via the command prompt >> >> Tutorial -> >> http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1097362093 >> >> If you're using ep1 engine, you need to update for hl2mp, rather than >> cstrike as written in this tut >> >> Once you've done that, you launch the server by the command prompt >> with the arguments "-console -game "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps >> \SourceMods\YourModName" >> >> If you're running OB engine, I had to fiddle, a bit by updating to TF2 >> (to download the OB binaries) as well, and copying the >> binaries from the orangebox/bin to bin/.
