Hi Max!
I think the main problem you're experiencing is that you're using the wrong program!! ;)
HLDS is the dedicated server for Half Life 1 based games....for HL2DM and Counterstrike Source you need SRCDS (Source Dedicated Server).
You need to install that in a different directory structure from your HLDS install, otherwise things will go very wrong for you ;)
Here's some info which might help you down the right path: http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1097362093

Hey guys, I'm a newcomer to this list and HL servers. I was trying to get some support from Valve, but I was directed here. It seems you guys are very knowledgable, so here's my question:
I noticed there aren't that many HL2DM servers available, so I'm attempting to host my own. However, as soon as I start hlds, I get the "c:\program\gameinfo.txt" cannot be found" messege and the server quits. I googled this for a few hours, but I'm finding nothing helpful. I even tried copying the gameinfo.txt from my Steam folders, but to no avail.
(The hlds Cstrike server works perfectly, so I know hlds works).
Thanks!
