Hello - I'm trying to install a TF2 beta server on my local machine and I'm running into a frustrating issue. I originally downloaded the server files to my machine in order to fix some SourceMod plugins that weren't working on my team's server that I help administrate, and now I'm trying to fix SourceMod and MetaMod themselves - since those plugins were broken with today's update. Anyway, here's what I did.
- I downloaded the server files using the hldsupdatetool (C:\TF2Server\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf_beta -dir "C:\TF2Server" -verify_all -retry). The first time I did this, it downloaded approx 8GB worth of files. - I installed MetaMod and SourceMod plugins using their documentation. - Upon starting the server (by just double clicking on srcds.exe) I encounter the following error message in a simple dialog box: "Error: texture file 'vgui/hud/800corner1' does not exist or is invalid." I never run into the forest-green "Start Server" menu that I run into when I start the normal TF2 srcds.exe. - When I click "OK, another error message pops up saying "Error: texture file 'vgui/hud/800corner2' does not exist or is invalid." When I hit "OK" again, it continues without "corner3" and "corner4" before cycling back to the original error message (corner1). The only way to stop the error messages is to kill the task from Windows Task Manager. - Confused by this, I removed all the SourceMod and Metamod files, and tried starting the server again, but the error persisted. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. I've looked through tf2beta/tf_beta/materials/vgui/hud and have not found any files corresponding to 800corner1, etc. Googling this error gave me no useful results. I had this error before today's beta update. I've been told by one of my team's higher-ups that sometimes deleting the whole folder and redownloading it can fix issues sometimes, but I only want to do that as a very last resort, and I fear that the error wouldn't go away. I'd greatly appreciate any help I can get with this. Let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks in advance! Kevin
