Okey, now i really got it to work. Seriously! I've tested and a friend joined with no difficulty.
I just had to download it all over again AND leave it where it was. That is, leave it on the "orangebox" folder. Whenever i try to move it or copy it to the "source 2007 dedicated server" i get a "Model models/gibs/wood_gib01e.mdl not found and models/error.mdl couldn't be loaded" error while trying to run it through the .bat file. When i load it through the steam shortcut (on library>tools), it runs but people are unable to join, producing that "Steam Validation Rejected" issue i reported earlier. To test this behaviour, i wiped out the "source 2007 dedicated server" folder and copied the new, downloaded one, into it and i got the behaviour i described above. Hope this helps everybody that has this problem and, mainly, Valve to fix it. Thanks for the attention, guys!
