Best practices for installing multiple CS:S servers?

[XARiUS]

Hello everyone -

I understand I can use two totally seperate directories, each housing the full srcds install for seperate servers. However the inner-geek in me tells me there's a more modular, cleaner way.

For example, in the past, from GSP's I've noticed I have none of the /bin/, /platform/ and /hl2/ directories in our servers FTP.

Is there a way to run the entire srcds base install say out of C:\srcds\ and then have the actual cstrike folders (and files) under like c:\servers\ip\cstrike\ to keep everything seperate?

The idea of copying around the ENTIRE HL2 srcds installation just urks me when all I CS:S cares about is the CSTRIKE portion.

Am I totally off basis here, or is having multiple SRCDS installs the only way to go?

Thanks for the assistance in advance,

X

You can install SRCDS without the HL2MP asspect of it.

Well, I tried removing the /hl2/ folder under srcds and it refuses to start without it... When I installed srcds I specified counter strike source, and that portion came down with it..

i think this is what you want http://forums.srcds.com/showthread.php?tid=1197

and you do need the hl2 part.. its the base for css.. cuz technically css is a mod of hl2. although completely different.. the base is the same.
