Thank you for the tip. I ended up moving the hldsupdatetool into the directory where I was downloading and now I just use "dir ."
It seems to be working. I downloaded a 3rd server which also has different stats than the other two. Now I am downloading a 4th so I can compare it to eh 3rd. It would be nice if Valve respond about these issues and when a fix might be arriving. Hard to understand why it stopped working correctly. Maybe they could source code control to compare what has changed and correct it. I suppose it is possible that some other infrastructure change has broken the update process. But a file to download files doesn't seem like should be that difficult. Even with new games hard to imagine its difficult to break. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 1:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Install Questions I agree this could stand to be fixed on Valve's side. A previous poster to this list discovered the workaround: cd \ cd updater HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "tf" -dir C:\tf2 -retry This is my script, where HldsUpdateTool.exe is located in C:\updater. The game directory is in C:\tf2. Notice that HldsUpdateTool.exe must be called in the directory it resides in. Otherwise, the tf folder is downloaded to \tf rather than \orangebox\tf. Testing on my end shows that if HldsUpdateTool.exe is not called from the directory it resides in, it will download files correctly until the first connection reset error. Every subsequent attempt will download the tf folder to the wrong location. - Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Tuttle Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 2:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Server Install Questions I would like people to expand on this a bit. I have downloaded the tf2 multiple times and I would like to know if you right-click go to properties exactly the number of files, folders, and the size of the items in the location. I have two different sets of values :/ Install #1 27955 Files 743 Folders 1,723,857,714 bytes Install #2 27955 Files 741 Folders 1,723,206,097 bytes I am grabbing a 3rd server right now. This would be so much easier if the tool was working :) Same number of files but different numbers of folders. I suspect this was due to the download pulling files into weird locations so I tried to move the folders to where they should go so that it would be correct. Maybe the 3rd server will shed some light on where things go. If they come down properly. :/ _______________________________________________ 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
