I noticed that as well. That command was actually posted by valve.. although I suspect is may be a typo.
I haven't had a chance to test out server forking with per server configs yet. Let me know if you get a chance to test and I'll adjust accordingly. Here is the original post by valve. ---------------------quote---------------------------- ./srcds_run \ -game left4dead \ -ip 1.1.1.1\ -netconport 9000+##\ -netconpassword password\ -steamport 27690+##\ +hostname My_L4D_Server_##\ +sv_tags reservable\ +exec server/##.cfg\ +map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment\ -fork 40 I think what Chris forgot to mention was that the ## syntax can be used in an expression. So here rather than just substituting the instance number in, I am using it to add the value to an existing number. Someone asked about why -exec ##.cfg didn't work. I would suggest using +exec ##.cfg instead. This is the format I am using and this appears to function correctly. Also, make sure that your files are zero padded to two digits (i.e 01, 02, etc...). I also had to do a lot of shuffling around of port numbers to allow 40 server instances to run correctly. This is because many of the default port numbers are too close to one another to support more than about 5-10 servers. The ports you need to worry about are: -netconport -steamport +clientport +hostport +tv_port +matchmakingport +systemlinkport I control the first two from the command line since they are not convars, the rest I put into my config files. Just space the port nunbers apart so there is a gap larger than the number of dedicated servers you intend to run on the same box. ---------------------quote---------------------------- > In the forked command line you posted, for the multiple server##.cfg > files, you have server/##.cfg - is the / supposed to be in there? > > mauirixxx > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve > Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 10:15 AM > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] L4D dedicated server config guide > > Not at all.. > > >> Mind if I copy/paste and provide the original link and your email? >> >> On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 11:36 AM, Rick Payton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> >>> Awesome, I've been saving various e-mails as they've come down, but >>> since you took the time to compile and post it ...
