Hi all, I'm experiencing a very strange problem, when I run hldsupdatetool I download everything but the srcds.exe fileit looks it get all updated BUT the source (I get the Hald Life 1.6, not SOurce) even if I run hldsupdatetool to download the cstrike. I have tryed the following queries: hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir d:\HlServer\folder hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -dir d:\HlServer\folder I can see coming all files, also cstrike maps (dust, dust2, aztec...) but at last I don't have the exe file to run, only hlds.exe which is not the one to run css :( Tryied to add also login functionality with -username and -password parameters but nothing changed. What am I doing wrong? All forums/sites I have fount in internet say I have to run that tool in that way but it looks I get always the wrong version... Thank you for your help.

This is the command line to use, hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -dir d:\HlServer you need to delete everything in the directory and start over. You have a combination of 1.6 and Source in the same folder.

Re: [hlds] Srcds.exe undownloadable?
OOPs remove the quotes and add user name and password hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game Counter-Strike Source -dir d:\HlServer -username username _password password It seems they won't let you download srcds.exe with out the logon. Its best to make a .bat file as discussed in the web page so you can put a shortcut on the desktop and update as necessary. Also did you run hldsupdatetool.exe by itself so it would update itself to the current version?

[hlds] Latest Update Causes Lag on all CS Source Servers
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] After the last SRCDS Update Every server I play on now lags and/or players warping all over the place and random complete lack of shot registration, or even better, when you know you have missed, the opposition dies anyhow. This happens on pingboosted and non-pingboosted servers as well as tickrate default and increased tickrate servers. There are currently no server settings seem to help alleviate the problem. Moreover the Server CPU according to RCON Stats does not show any undue stress on the servers. Are Valve aware of the issue? P.S. Its not just just my servers, its every damn server I play on now, and I have quite a few servers to choose from. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Srcds.exe undownloadable?
When I was writing my first response I brought up the starting server page. And it wasn't till after the post that I noticed my mistake with the quotes, and then looked through the page. I noticed that username password had been added back http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=181 optional parameters: (only needed to access limited content) -username username- Steam account username -password password- Steam account password I guess the .exe is considered limited content. When I first made my server you had to have them and I never removed them, so never noticed if they were needed again.

[hlds] Teleport Lag on Bigger Servers Since Last Update...
Server Specs: Dual 2.8 XEON w/ 2 gig ram 100 mb unmetered connection Rates (On my current 28 man servers) sv_maxrate 9000 sv_maxupdaterate 19 sv_minrate 0 sv_minupdaterate 5 (My rates used to be maxrate:25000, maxupdaterate:70) Mods: Mani and Beetlefarts I have seen this discussed in several places, but have found no real answers. I run LANFusion, a gaming community with 6 source servers which all fill up on a daily basis (well, before the last update at least.) My servers, especially the larger ones (40 mans and the 32 mans) have been experiencing very heavy lag since the last update. Its not choke or loss lag, its a teleporting type lag which makes the game almost unplayable. I have been doing a bunch of research and trying many different things in the past few days to try to fix this problem, however, have found no solution. Currently, I have 3 of my servers running with 28, 26 and 24 slots. When I keep the players below 28, the lag isn't very apparent. However, the second the players get over 30, models start teleporting like crazy. I run a Dual XEON box w/ hyperthreading. Looking at my proc usage charts, I can see that srcds is trying to run on just one of my 4 processors. I set the affinity of each process to a different proc and that finally got them running individually. However, I can't find a fix for this lag so that I can put some servers back up to 40 slots. Before the update I could easily run 6 full servers with no lag. Someone said that the last update limited the rate to 1. I turned my maxupdaterate down significantly and noticed a drop in some of the lag. However, they still lag up when I put them above 30 people. I see servers out there running over 30 people without lag. Have any of you successfully put up a server with no lag above 30 people?

[hlds] Banlist too big? Causing crashes?
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hey, Our banfile (banned.cfg) is approximatly 80KB - On our natural selection servers, when the mission changes, it is very slow at loading the new mapcycle (players sit at the map changing screen for ~20-30 secs). We have also seen servers crashing (servers are also crashing every so often in CS Source for us, this could be related to the banfile size as well, its also 80KB). As soon as that file is blank, mission changes are instant - And this could be resolving our css server crashes, although im yet to test this theory. Anyone else experiencing problems with large ban files? Obviously, removing some bans from the file is not a fix :) Thanks, - Andrew -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Working update!
Umm, I am not in agreement with that. My servers have been running horribly since this update (see my previous thread named 'Horrible teleport lag since last update'), fps has shown a tremendous drop, and assault is pretty much unplayable with more than 30 people. I understand that it must be difficult to make changes to a game as complex as source. With that said, this was a very poor update and probably could have used some more testing in my opinion. p.s. The way characters put rifles up to their face is pretty cool. On 7/10/05, dISCOSTAR* [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For the first time in my experience the latest update works flawlessly!
