Re: [hlds] Dah! No Half-Life / Valve

When you get up this morning (I finally did, how can it be so late?) be sure to tell us what you did to fix it, what kept it from working. This way future generations can benefit from your experiences. Getting a half-life server running can be intimidating if you have never done it, and sometimes it takes just one simple thing to keep it from working. Us old timers take all this for granted, but there are young pups out there that have never done this before that might want to take a shot at it.

Thanks all. Think I finally got it working! I think I even got my web server to act as a fast map downloader too!

Cheers again. Must sleep now…

Check it out if you can spare the time. Should show up as “BanzaiBob’s Half-Life Server” IP Address: 91.235.58.128:27015

Have you configured your server.cfg and autoexec.cfg and mapcycle.txt? You have to at least specify a starting map, or no one will be able to connect.

Seriously, don't waste your time with the gui. Just start it -console

hlds.exe -game valve -map subtransit -port 27015

Sorry, should have mentioned that I did try that. It ran without error, but could not be connected to.

Thanks everyone, I think I will give this up as a lost cause now.

Thanks for trying to help me out though.

Regards,

Paul

I strongly recommend using -console flag when starting the server and dispensing with the worthless gui.

I have done ‘HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game valve -dir .’ more than once. Valve folder exists. Think I am gonna give up soon. Doing my head in this.
