Alfred, any news when the ATI coupon/CZ owner will be allowed to fill my idle srcds? I wonder if the dates that are being posted on the steampowered.com foruns are right. (preload 08/16 and gameplay 08/18)
The Counter-Strike: Source Beta dedicated server (SRCDS) is now available to both win32 and linux server operators. This should give server administrators enough time to have enough servers up and running before the release to Condition Zero and ATI coupon customers next week.
You can download the update tool from < http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=getsteamnow > or copy your existing hldsupdate binary into a clean directory. To get your server up and running, use this syntax:
<update binary> -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -username <your_username> -password <password>
For example: Hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -username valve -password valve
The quotes around "Counter-Strike Source" are important.
Do not install the SRCDS into an existing installation, the two will interfere with each other.
This beta release designed to allow us determine any technical problems in the product and to allow dedicated server operators to evaluate the program. The beta release of the SRCDS (and only the SRCDS) is freely available to any steam user via the update tool (you do not need to be an CZ or ATI user).
As part of the beta process please report any bug and suggestions to this list. During the beta we will be continually updating a page on http://www.steampowered.com/ with the current list of known issues (I will pass on the URL for it later today).
