I'm not too good with GoldSRC servers, as far as I know you only need the
"valve" base game for mods, but if you'd like help with testing a connection,
you should provide a server ip for people to connect to.

Subject: [hlds] DOD ok, but Valve no worky :(
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can shed some light on a problem I am having.
Just downloaded and updated HLDS (for the first time) and have been unable to
get the server to work with the ‘Valve’ (i.e. original Half-Life) game.
When starting the server, the initial dialog has nothing in the game or map
drop downs. It will still let me click [Start Server], but seems to ignore the
‘hostname’ and ‘ip’ settings from server.cfg. I then cannot connect to the
server in favourites or see it in the list of servers.
After fiddling for a couple of hours, re-downloading, yada, yada, I decided to
additionally download the DOD game, just as a sanity check. This is working
fine!
Don’t understand what I could have done wrong. Followed the same
download/update steps for both games without receiving any error.
Now when I fire up the HLDS, the initial dialog only has the entry for DOD in
the drop down, no Valve.
As I have never done any of this before, I am not sure if Valve should be in
the list? After all it is kinda the base game anyhow.
PS If anyone could test connecting to my DOD server that would be great. Its
name is BanzaiBob
Best regards,
Paul
