I found this note misleading and I was confused about where to put the steamcmd files. " Note:Do not extract the contents of the updater tool to the regular Steam Client folder or to the HLDSUpdateTool folder." https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
I wanted a basic hlds installation where I could add a mod, so I made two directories mkdir hlds steamcmd download steamcmd_linux.tar.gz and extract the files cd steamcmd wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz tar zxvf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz run steamcmd once and let it update. ./steamcmd.sh when it is finished type quit. run steamcmd to install hlds ./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir ../hlds +app_update 90 validate +exit move my previously extracted mod directory into my game server directory mv svencoop hlds run hlds once ./hlds_run -console -game valve +map frenzy everything works fine. But I want hlds to autoupdate via steamcmd and restart on crashes. -------------------------------- Getting -autoupdate to work !!! hlds_run expects steam.sh to be in "steamcmd/steam.sh" move my steamcmd directory into my game server directory cd mv steamcmd hlds run steamcmd to insure everything is upto date cd hlds/steamcmd ./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir .. +app_update 90 validate +quit -------------------------------- launch hlds with svencoop as the game. ./hlds_run -console -num_edicts 3072 -game svencoop -pingboost 2 +ip 192.95.16.119 +port 27015 +sport 27016 +map zero -autoupdate -timeout 6 +maxplayers 12 -debug Enabling debug mode Auto-restarting the server on crash Updating server using Steam. *************************************************** The recommended way to run steamcmd is: steamcmd.sh +logon anonymous +force_install_dir .. +app_update 90 +quit *************************************************** Redirecting stderr to '/home/hlds/Steam/logs/stderr.txt' [ 0%] Checking for available updates...

Now I have nine game servers running on different computers - all are running Debian 6.0 or Debian 7.0 one of the Debian 7.0 computers has the "steam client installed" with one game half-life. That hlds has issues with -autoupdate. it spams the console with messages like this: appdatacache.cpp (520) : Assertion Failed: app info out of sync (AppID 231350). Change number on server: 185065.

I hope it is not in hlds. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
