Coming back on this item, with forked servers for l4d2, it seems you cannot use server_cfg##.cfg and then -fork 8 inside an +exec command at the end.
Does this mean that any commands with ## for fork support needs to go in the commandline? -----Original Message----- From: Erik-jan Riemers [mailto:riem...@binkey.nl] Sent: donderdag 23 mei 2013 19:51 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] command line too long, 512 max I actually didn't know that, i still learn more each day :) thanks for the reply's. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Saul Rennison Sent: donderdag 23 mei 2013 19:29 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] command line too long, 512 max To elaborate on what Fletcher is saying, change your command-line to: screen -A -m -d -S tradeunusual ./srcds_run -debug -game tf -port 27015 -replayserverdir tradeunusual -maxplayers 32 -pidfile ~/tf/tradeunusual.pid -autoupdate -steam_dir /home/lzgames/steamcmd/ -steamcmd_script /home/lzgames/steamcmd/tf.txt -insert_search_path tf/servercustom/trade +exec commandline_tradeunusual.cfg Note the lack of +xxx commands and the addition of the final +exec commandline_tradeunusual.cfg.
