The original srcds_run assumed that the current directory was the root of the installation. This changed as of Orange Box and the srcds_run script was not fixed. I did make a change earlier this year to address this in Orange Box, but the fix is missing some other patches. In particular the GAME variable can get clobbered with the depot name, which means that after running the update, the game will not restart because it uses the wrong mod name. I believe DOD:S and CS:S are affected by this bug, not sure about TF though.

I find that the fix is either to create a dummy steam "binary" shell script in the orangebox folder that changes directory up one and then runs steam, or to install everything with absolute paths (-dir /full/path/here instead of -dir .) and then copy/symlink the steam binary into the orangebox folder. A better fix is probably to get valve to change the orangebox srcds_run script to change directory up one before running ./steam, though. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Eric-Jan Riemers Sent: Saturday, May 02, 2009 12:10 PM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D question..

Then you probably modified your srcds_run or downloaded a modified one, or your installation was not done correctly I guess. 2009/5/2 Eric-Jan Riemers <riem...@binkey.nl> > If i do that, it will download the complete tf2 inside that folder again.. > > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com > [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] Namens AnAkIn . > Verzonden: zaterdag 2 mei 2009 13:02 > Aan: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Onderwerp: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D question.. > > For -autoupdate to work with TF2, IIRC you need to copy the steam binary in > your orangebox/ folder. > > 2009/5/2 Eric-Jan Riemers <riem...@binkey.nl> > > > But i would be able to test my server with a update script, no need for > > clients at that time.
