server.cfg resource thread

[SirTiger]

Please post here your server.cfg snippets and information

[Jynger]

Fiew things i stumped in while playing around with the linux server:
1. maxplayers is hardcoded limited to 16
2. add your configuration variables into valve.rc instead of server.cfg, most the setings that are in server.cfg only get activated with first mapchange, same exact setings from valve.rc are activated at server start

[piskadmin]

Does anybody have a nice working server.cfg (or valve.rc) for a CS:S server?

I have searched everywhere without any results.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting this.

I'm still not sure how to invoke the thing. Can it be done from the command line with exec or something? Does it need to be somewhere special?

You can invoke the server.cfg file by placing it in ...srcds/cstrike/cfg/

[swampninja]

I have placed the server.cfg file in the above mentioned folder but it will not load, keeps saying
couldn't exec server.cfg
What am I doing wrong?

[[ROX] UniSoL]

Someone else brought this up on this board in a different thread.

Make sure you didn't actually save the file as "server.cfg.txt". Make sure in Windows Explorer\Tools\Folder Options\View tab that Hide extionsons for known file types is turned off.

Edit: Here is the link to the thread regarding my post:

Thanks, that fixed it.
