I should have read your post closer. You are right, I don't know of a way
to
run in console mode like the old days using the HLDS through steam. Good
question though.

Have you tried it yourself? As I said... you can not directly run a exe
(any, not just hlds) under steam without steam running, it has to be run
though the steam menu or with the -applaunch in a shortcut (and yes
following your directions exactly, does not work)
I am trying to get the dedicated server through steam (NOT the stand
alone,
so the hldsupdatetool is not an options) out of GUI mode and into
console.
Just for noting..
"C:\Program [EMAIL PROTECTED]
server\hlds.exe" -game cstrike -maxplayers 16 -console +map de_dust
Is the shortcut I am trying using your instructions

If you follow his instructions you can run your server exactly as
specified.
Steam does not have to be running as long as you include your Steam
account
in your launch line.
Give it a try, it works quite well. There is also an hldsupdatetool
that
allows you to specifically download and update only the Valve games you
wish
to use for dedicated servers. There is a readme included with that tool
that
basically tells you the same thing knoid has outlined.
Merry Christmas!

Actually, you cant run hlds.exe directly even with steam already
running..(it has to be started with steam.exe -applaunch 5) so that's
not
really helping.. but thx for trying (unless I am missing something)
so I guess u can only run the stand alone version in console mode?

Go to Steam/SteamApps/your_account_name/Dedicated Server/.
Right-click on hlds.exe, select 'Create Shortcut'.
Move that shortcut out to your desktop.
Right-click on the shortcut, select 'Properties'.
Edit the command line so it resembles this:
C:\Steam\SteamApps\your_account_name\Dedicated Server\hlds.exe -game
cstrike -maxplayers 16 -console -noipx +map de_dust
Obviously you'll need to alter the pathname to fit your installation.
I've
assumed you're running CS 1.6, if you're running something else you'll
need
to change the -game and +map parameters.
Note that all flags in the line above *must* be -, except for the map
command which is +.
Hope this helps you.
