I'm following a combination of this tutorial and this for making my Mann vs Machine tutorial : am I right in doing so?
I'm finding it a bit confusing and would like a specific set of instructions based on my information :
------------------------------------------------
Specs :
Origin EON17-S (laptop)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i7 Extreme 2920XM (Sandy Bridge) @ 4.1 - 4.8 Ghz
16GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 Dual-Channel @ 1600Mhz
240GB OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS Solid State Drive (my main drive) [C:]
750GB SATA III Hard Disk Drive (secondary / storage drive) [D:]
WLAN : Intel Centrino Wireless-N 6230 (this is my method for connection)
Router : Belkin N+ (2011 series)
Note : My ethernet port is blown, which is why I am FORCED to use WLAN for connecting to the net. I'll have my port fixed sometime late this year.
REGION : Suzhou, Jiangsu, China (about 100km from Shanghai)
Bandwidth : Chinese bandwidth runs wild - they don't even attempt to control it. For that reason, bandwidth depends completely on how many people are on the internet at the same time. During the day, bandwidth might be around 350 or 400Kbps at best, at peak hours it could go as low as 50Kbps, but then at really late times it can skyrocket to about 700Kbps. Chinese internet just isn't reliable, but we need servers here anyway - Hong Kong servers aren't working out.
ISP : China Telecom
Location of my TF2 Folder : C:\tf2
Location of my hldsupdatetool : C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\HLServer\hldsupdatetool.exe
Static IP : 58.209.7.181
Private IP : 192.168.2.6
Note : No VPN is enabled, though I do have StrongVPN (uses OpenVPN GUI) to connect to San Fransisco with 128-bit Encryption if I need to.
----------------------------------------------------
Note : I've placed my PC in DMZ for best compatibility. This means there shouldn't be any port problems, yes? I may disable Windows Firewall entirely while using my PC as a server to increase compatibility and make it as open as possible.
The result that I want : A fully public MvM server (that can be found via simple server searching) that cycles through all the MvM maps and gametypes and is fully customizable by me at any time.
Desired Server Name : MvM Suzhou (might change it to "Freelancers MvM" if I get a team started with it later)
Can you make it so that 8 human players can join, or is 6 the limit?
Additions I want to make : Quake sounds, remote controlled turrets, slightly more cash drops than usual, and the ability to customize what enemies will be faced. Please cover as many of these as possible!
More additions : I want to make the first screen have some info about my server (many servers do this) and put links to my website that appear when the game starts.
Note : I want to make sure the item server works fine with my server as well. I want to make this as professional as possible.
Assume anything not listed above is in it's default state.
Any help / advice would be great, thanks!

PS : I'm going to trick out my website to be a website for gaming, especially Source games / TF2 : http://freelancers.forum.st
Feel free to join and help out
Thanks in advance!
