Linux n00b requesting help plz

Hi guys,

I'm trying to change the tickrate on my source server from default 33 to 66. I've read various posts on here, and other forums, and i've learnt that I need to change the srcds command line but my question is how do i do this?

I have putty login with root access and im familar with editing files and stuff but i've never had to do this before. I basically need an idiots guide to editing the command line (and is it posssible to see/keep whats in there alredy e.g. IP, Port, Maxplayers etc etc).

Thanks in advance all,

that depends if you use a script to start your server or you just execute the srcds_run with options

im not sure tbh, I didn't do the initial setup. Is there a way I can check? i don't know if this helps but if I do rcon_quit the server restarts by itself, does that mean its a script?

thx again

update: i think the original admin was a tad lazy and i can't see any script files in the directory structure (not that i know what to look for) so I'm guessing that he didn't use a script and it was started via the cmd line!

where do i go from here plz? TIA

check out the linux tutorial on this site. theres a script there you can use, then just modify it to your needs and add -tickrate 66 to it.

then stop your server and start it back up using the script

cheers for that, my server mysteriously went down overnight so i started it again as per the tutorial and changed the tickrate

if i wanted to change it to 100 tick, do i have to stop the server first and if so, how? Or, do I just start it again via the cmd line and then reset the server with rcon_quit?

What I do is open up the screen that srcds is running in (screen -x), then hit CTRL + C. That shuts down the server and terminates the screen. Then I re-exec the script to start it up. And yes, you must stop the server in order to change your tickrate.
