Guide on setting up srcds with a mani admin plugin.
#1
Hi my name is Bielie i made this all my self comment and rate it Wink

You can download the files you need here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0GWL6BHP

Download links to mani admin:

1.2T Source(CS:S, Hl2DM) http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/mani_ad..._v1_2t.zip
1.2T Orangebox (DOD:S, TF2,) http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com/mani_ad...orange.zip

Tip:

Open a .cfg file and choose for open with one of the listed programs. Choose notepad/wordpad. Also choose for: "open these files with this program always". Now its a lot easier to adjust the .cfg files.


Guide:


Installing & Downloading the files.


1. Install HLDSUPDATETOOL into a Directory. Example C:/SRCDS

2. Open the file Update.txt

Change the Directorys in the file to your chosen Directory.
Save this as a .txt file first. Then overwrite the allready added .bat file by changing .txt into .bat

3. Open Update.bat.

4. Wait for the downloading to complete.

When it gives like 1-6 messages just wait till it found the install dir.

When it doesnt continue and gives the error: No installation found on ....

Type: CTRL + C -- Run the command again(Up arrow and hit enter)

Sometimes the downloading freezes. Run the Update.bat again and it should continue.


(note: You need ethernet connection to update.)




--------------------------------------------------------

2. Making the server Start.

Open the map Restart on crash.
Copy the text in the .txt file into a new .txt file.

Take a look at the 8th line: (start /wait srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16)

change +map <mapname>
change +maxplayers <maxplayers in numbers>

(add behind the +maxplayers 16) Dont forget a space!
add -port 27015
add -ip <ip the server will be running on> (only do this if you know what youre doing. If you dont just dont add it at all). (check: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ )
add -tickrate <tickrate your server can handle>

Dont remove or change the other commands.

It will look something like this:

Quote:---------------------------------------------------
--Dont copy these lines add your own info!--
---------------------------------------------------

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 12 -port 27015 -ip 83.84.123.23 -tickrate 33
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

-----------------------------------------------------
--Dont copy these lines add your own info!--
-----------------------------------------------------

Now save it as "Run SRCDS.txt" in the map C:/SRCDS now save it again as "Run SRCDS.bat" file also in C:/SRCDS

Reason:

I think its handy to be able to change this file if you changed for example: -port -ip +map +maxplayers


(note: Port Forwarding - Get on your router and open the port 27015. Dont know how to get on your router? Look at http://www.portforward.com/

3. Adding a server.cfg.

I included a file named server.cfg (made by Drocona). Place this in your map C:/SRCDS/Cstrike/cfg

Change the commands to make your server run on your own configuration. Or check http://www.cstrike-planet.com/cfgmaker?cfg=srcds


4. Adding plugins

We are only adding the Mani Admin Plugin. When you need more search for it. A lot of guides will help you with installing other plugins.


1. Unpack the file: mani_admin_plugin_v1_2t.zip
2. Copy the files into the folder: C:/SRCDS/cstrike
3. Open the map C:/SRCDS/cstrike/mani_admin
4. Run the CreateVDF.exe file and put it in C:/SRCDS/cstrike/addons
5. Change the other .txt files for configuration of the server.

Adding maps is simple. Download them from: http://www.cstrike-planet.com/maps/ and put them in C:/SRCDS/cstrike/maps

Dont forget to add them to your maplist.txt file. If you want them in your cycle add them in your mapcycle.txt file aswell.

(note: I also included the quake sounds map. Unpack and copy the files in C:/SRCDS/cstrike)

Get in the C:/SRCDS/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin folder.
Open mani_quake_sounds.cfg

Change the Settings to make it work change the first command into 1. (1 Means on)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Boosting the FPS.

I included a file named: Srcdsfpsboost.zip
Open the file in it and run it while your server is working it will boost the fps with 150.
If you close it the boost will be gone.

To check if other people can join your server:

Browse to: Http://www.canyouseeme.org/

Type 27015 in the port section. If the applet can see a service on your IP + Port people should be able to join your server.

Thanks for your tutorial.

I found a few misleading things though.
1. The thing Loopy said above
2.
Quote:Open the file Update.txt

Change the Directorys in the file to your chosen Directory.
Save this as a .txt file first. Then overwrite the allready added .bat file by changing .txt into .bat
It's really not easy to save it as .txt first and then open it and save it as bat, you can just save it as a bat in the first place.

3.
Quote:Wait for the downloading to complete.

When it gives like 1-6 errors just wait till it found the install dir.

When it doesnt continue and gives the error: No installation found on .... Type: CTRL + C and then the up arrow and hit enter again. Do this till it works.
The update tool shouldn't give any errors, for one, the "no installation found" string is NOT an error, it's just the program checking if there are already installed files or not and reporting that back to the user. You just have to wait, don't sart it again, just takes longer.

4. The -ip command is better to be left alone on computers that only run 1 server. Also you mentioned a router, but before that you use the 192.168.0.1 IP in the example, which usually is the IP of the router/gateway, hence it's not usable by the server.

We really appreciate the work, but I want to suggest taking a look at the stickies in the tutorials forum, to make the above tutorial 100% correct and clear to the users that might read it.
I've moved this to the tutorials forum also.

I went to Http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and it COULD NOT see 27015, which is most definitely related to this problem of mine: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/13103

you only are able to see a service when you are actualy running something on it. First start up your server then check the port again Wink
