When you're done copy and paste the script I added somewere here or start the server using screen

The basic commandlist should be helpful:

i think i downloaded all and stuff, how can i make a server.cfg with terminal:S? how can i check if the server is started ?Plz ^^_

[Arjen]

You can make a server.cfg using the vi editor:
http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html

Just add the vars in the cfg or copy and paste it.

To see if the server is started use:
ps -ef
You'll see a line with ./srcds_i686
To shut the server down do:
kill -9 <process ID>

Process ID is the number in the second column.

You can use the script I wrote to start/ stop/ restart/ update the server or check the status:

i started the server. but do i have to have putty on all day if i want it to run?
i logged in with putty, then cd srcds then i did this line... i found the server, but with a wried port... it was 276** but thats ok. its gonna be a war server.

./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Add -ip <external IP-adres> -port <serverport> to your startupline. So you can use a different port for your public server.

Because there's a "&" after my line in the script you can quit Putty after the serverstart. If you don't like this way take a look at screen.
Install: apt-get install screen
Usage: man screen

screen?:/ aka desktop? i dont want many updates ....

[Arjen]

no screen the command-line-prog-you-don't-have-to-update-often.

[terry94]

WARNING: NNET_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested address
Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port

[realchamp]

Do you use any port or ip commands?

If so, post your startup script or command line

[terry94]

nvm i used +ip and -port and i removed ip it worked

[terry94]

./srcds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate -tickrate 100 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust2 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
i used that, and i cannot find it on processes, i find this

that is stuff i have tryed, how do i stop it -.- the server..

[Arjen]

Using the script I suggested:
./<script> stop

Not using the script:
kill -9 <Process ID's>

[terry94]

how can i see the process id?

[terry94]

nvm, i stopped it, it auto starts again, can i change the tickrate when the server is up?!?
