I can't believe there is any technical reason why it can't be made available
via hldsupdatetool. If I and others can assemble a fileset that works, so
can hldsupdatetool. I can, however, believe that internal politics or
policies at Valve will prevent it.
But then, I don't really know exactly how the update process works. Why
can't it ever work with hldsupdatetool?

You need to do whatever magic you did the first time to get the updated
hl1mp content we released this last week, that is why you are out of
date. Certain design choices with HL1MP preclude it from ever working
with the hldsupdatetool unfortunately :(

Alfred, I would be very surprised indeed if Valve was not aware that
several
of use are running hl1mp source *dedicated* servers, and not from the
in-game UI (you did know this, didn't you????). It's not that
difficult -
first you use hldsupdatetool to install hl2mp. Anyone can do this,
you don't
even need a steam account. Then you do as I've outlined below and
copy the
stuff from the GCF files I've listed. One can only do this if they
actually
own the game. Then you start the server:
srcds -game hl1mp
I've been doing this for a while now, as have others. It works very
well. We
do this because the hldsupdatetool does not support hl1mp, and who
here
actually uses the in-steam dedicated server? Also, using the listen
server
option from the game itself is extremely unreliable.
So, what would it take to get hldsupdatetool to support -game hl1mp?
Will
you accept bribes? Our undying gratitude? My first born son?

HL1DM:S currently only supports servers created by the in-game UI
currently, I am not sure how you are running one with the SRCDS tool
(so I suspect this is a hell of your own making :)
I will see if we can have the in-Steam SRCDS program offer HL1DM to
people that own the game.

hell? So....I start my hl1mp source server, and I get:
?MasterRequestRestart
Your server is out of date. Please update and restart.
So, I started over. Deleted everything. Created a new install of
hl2mp. Overwrote stuff from the following GCFs:
half-life deathmatch source gcf
half-life source deathmatch client gcf
half-life source gcf
Updated my cfgs as needed. Start server. Same thing. This always
worked in the past. My next step is to delete my GCFs, and let
steam download them again to make sure they really current. I see
hl1mp servers with players in them, so...what am I missing?
