As a temp work around I have just been copying the files into the orangebox folder manually.. for awhile I was even running the server from outside the orangebox folder. (but that's sketchy)
you COULD make a batch file to correct the problem (again as a temp work around) something like this xcopy /s /v /Y /D C:\bin\hlds_4\tf C:\bin\hlds_4\orangebox\ xcopy /s /v /Y /D C:\bin\hlds_4\bin C:\bin\hlds_4\orangebox\ xcopy /s /v /Y /D C:\bin\hlds_4\platform C:\bin\hlds_4\orangebox\ If you have several TF2 servers it may be beneficial to keep a "master" install folder that is updated then xcopy the changes out to your individual servers folders. This should at least get you going until they get this sorted out. -Steve > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I'm getting the exact same error as below, thus all of my servers are > down. > > I run all of my servers through batch files because it's the quickest way > to > update multiple servers for me. > > Could this be a possible problem related to batch files? > If so how do we resolve this? > > Thanks > > On 10/18/07, Steve S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> now with every subsequent update it just ignores the orangebox folder >> >> C:\bin\hlds_4>C:\bin\hlds_update\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update >> -game >> tf -dir C:\bin\hlds_4 >> Checking bootstrapper version ... >> Updating Installation >> No installation record found at C:\bin\hlds_4 >> No installation record found at C:\bin\hlds_4 >> No installation record found at C:\bin\hlds_4 >> No installation record found at C:\bin\hlds_4 >> No installation record found at C:\bin\hlds_4 >> No installation record found at C:\bin\hlds_4 >> Checking/Installing 'Team Fortress 2 Content' version 12 >> >> 0.00% C:\bin\hlds_4\tf\bin\server.dll >> 0.29% C:\bin\hlds_4\tf\bin\server_i486.so >> >> > this is sooo strange.. ok I deleted clientregistry.blob from the steam >> > update folder, I also deleted installrecord.blob from the root of the >> > server folder. >> > >> > I run the update cmd.. the tool updates itself to version 22, and then >> > starts the update process using the proper orangebox folder >> > >> > it scrolls through hundreds of files..
