While we're on the subject of hldsupdatetool, is there any way to make it stop prompting for privilege escalation on Windows? My server test account has has Full Control for the directory hldsupdatetool is in, so there's no reason for it to require administrative privileges. It throws a UAC prompt anyway.

Oh, and running it from an administrator cmd.exe is not an acceptable alternative as it's an inherent security risk.

Which reminds me of why I run Linux servers in the first place... hldsupdatetool runs fine without root permissions over there.

hldsupdatetool -game valve

This installs plain ordinary half-life

when starting the sever, valve is the default game type:

hlds -game valve -console

If you want Opposing Force, replace 'valve' with 'gearbox'

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

    Still having trouble with this. Missing something I expect. When
    I run the hlds, the game 'Half-Life' is still unavailable from
    the 'Game' drop-down-list.

    I have 'Deathmatch Classic', 'Day of Defeat' etc, but no 'Half-Life'

    Help!

    Dah!
