Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
in the target path for the srcds.exe file you need to indicate which game you are planning to host on the server. i.e. -game cstrike On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Charles Chang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm not sure what batch file you are referring to.

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
I'm not sure what batch file you are referring to. The only batch file in the directions was for auto restart of the game if it crashes. I didn't think that batch file was necessary to run the game. (I also tried to run the game update and it said "HLDS installation up to date" so I know the download went fine). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cc2iscooL Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 12:57 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question Did you put the batch file in the same folder as the srcds.exe?

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
Ok, so now I'm having a different problem. I got cstrike downloaded following the directions. But when I try to run the srcds command nothing happens. I also tried to run the srcds.exe to see if a GUI would show up but nothing happens. Oh, could it possibly be that I don't have a server.cfg file? In the cgf folder under cstrike, there is no server.cfg file. The directions said to "edit (or create)" but if I create, how do I know what to put in the .cfg file?

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
If you go to the guide, it's in the same area as setting it up to reboot on crash, where it has the underlined portion. You can also set -nocrashdialog and it will get rid of *most* of the dialog box crashes. So your command line might look like this. srcds.exe -console -nocrashdialog -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 +sv_lan 1 Charles Chang wrote: > Thank you!

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
Thank you! I found out it was a network firewall issue. The server needs 27000-27030 TCP access for the server. I am currently downloading Counter Strike Source and will purchase it on a client side to test the local LAN game. Do I later just add the command line you gave me as part of the executable to set it as a LAN only game?

If you are sure the firewall isn't blocking outbound, you could try deleting the clientregistry.blob in the directory and trying the update again. If the machine running the SRCDS server has a local firewall, you will have to allow traffic through that firewall to run your server. Otherwise, as long as all systems have full communications to one another (if behind one router) you won't have to worry about opening ports on the router, unless it filters traffic on the LAN both ways, then you'll have to do a little more configuration to get it working. 27015 TCP/UDP should be all you need for a LAN server.

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
You can follow this guide for the initial installation, it works well. http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1097362093&archive= That error there is likely caused by a firewall blocking the connection out to the Steam servers to retrieve the updates. I don't know what port it uses by default, so you'll have to excuse me for not having that information. If you are sure the firewall isn't blocking outbound, you could try deleting the clientregistry.blob in the directory and trying the update again. If the machine running the SRCDS server has a local firewall, you will have to allow traffic through that firewall to run your server. Otherwise, as long as all systems have full communications to one another (if behind one router) you won't have to worry about opening ports on the router, unless it filters traffic on the LAN both ways, then you'll have to do a little more configuration to get it working. 27015 TCP/UDP should be all you need for a LAN server.

Re: [hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
Sorry, first time in this email forum. Do I just add this command line as part of the executable for the server? Also, when following the directions about updating the hlds tools, I get a "Failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer, Winsock Error 10061 "Connection refused". Is this a firewall/port issue? Is there a list of which ports we need opened? Also, I'm confused if I'm setting up a LAN, why does the server need to have ports opened? Thanks!

[hlds] LAN Dedicated Server Question
For the dedicated server, is the directions the same for setting up for a local LAN or do all dedicated servers have to go through the Internet? We have about 150 people in one office to play games and we obviously don't want all 150 to go through the Internet but through the LAN.
