Ok, so now I'm having a different problem. I got cstrike downloaded following the directions. But when I try to run the srcds command nothing happens. I also tried to run the srcds.exe to see if a GUI would show up but nothing happens.
Oh, could it possibly be that I don't have a server.cfg file? In the cgf folder under cstrike, there is no server.cfg file. The directions said to "edit (or create)" but if I create, how do I know what to put in the .cfg file?
