Hello, I am new to this forum.

I have never played counter strike source before, and I do not got steam.

But my friends play it, and I wanted to set up a dedicated server for it. And I found this here.

I followed a tutorial typed here: http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1097362093

Which seem to have been written in 2004, perhaps a bit out of date.

Currently using a windows server.

I have been using hldsupdatetool using commands like
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir F:\srcds -verify_all

to verify that I got the latest version.

When I run the server i type start - run and write
F:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 12 -autoupdate

Here is the console dump:
Code:
200.0 fps  0/12 on map          de_dust
Console initialized.
Game.dll loaded for "Counter-Strike: Source"
maxplayers set to 12

I havent tested this yet, since I don't got CS source, but a friend will come over a bit later to try it out.

But the console shows errors.

banned_user.cfg it says it contains 20MB, but when I open it in notepad ++ its clean. And I guess I am missing ban configurations inside there.

(For some reason, I had to create my own server.cfg, autoexec.cfg, banned_user.cfg and banned_ip.cfg). Since it didn't come automatically by updating the game/downloading the server.

And I found an example of contents to write in inside server.cfg, so I just copy pasted that and modified the values inside there.

If the reason is that I am missing configurations on the banned .cfg files, could anyone give me examples of information to put inside there?

Also is it possible to solve this problem:
Error: Material "sprites/bubble" : proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found!

Its just a special sprite that isn't added, does anybody got it already, I would be grateful if you could share it with me. Smile

Also these lines worries me a bit:
Section [Scenes]: 0 resources total 0 bytes, 0.00 % of limit (2.10 MB)
Unknown command "/"

I am used to a very clean and pure console. Toungue Don't like errors. Sad

Standard error. I have it too.

Yes you would have to create them by yourself. Smile

I don't know why VALVe doesn't make them in the download processing.

That should be fine! You can use my server.cfg for Counter-Strike: Source here: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/8433

You don't need to put in information manually. The server will automaticly insert a command as banid <time> <id>.

So if someone is banned from the server. You shall goto that file and remove his SteamID from that list. (followed by a map change or a restart of the server)

Standard error. I have it too, like everybody else. VALVe haven't fixed it.

I don't have it. I don't think there's one of these out there. (Unfortunately)

The bolted text is normal.

However the unknown command "/" is a mistake by you.
Try looking through your configs and see if you do miss a "/" infront of a comment.

I don't like them either. Smile

Here is a small part of the config file:
Code:
// server logging
log on
sv_logbans 1
sv_logecho 1
sv_logfile 1
sv_log_onefile 0

The two words "log on", could this be the problem? I am not sure if it is a part of the comment or if it is an used value.

By the first sign of your configuration file, it looks like it swaps between lots of maps, I only want it to run De dust 2 map.

Here is my full server.cfg file:
Code:

Change "/ server name" to "// server name"
That's giving an error because it's reading / as a command and not as a comment line (//).

To set your bandwidth rate values which would be listed in your server configuration file, you can read this really informative article created by one of the forum administrators.

http://srcds.org/index.php?title=Rates

The values that you enter within the rates section need to be set correctly or your server may experience instability; hence giving your server a bad rep.

**In order to test your connection speed, you will need to go to http://speedtest.net and obtain the results that will be provided to you subsequent to the test.**
