Gmod server issues

[Siphis]

Hello,
I am attempting to start my first gmod server through windows server 2008. When i would go to launch the server with this temporary batch file

Code:

@echo off
cd c:\srcds/orangebox
echo Starting game server.
echo Beginning "Garry's Mod"
srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 16
echo "Garry's Mod" has now started.

it will then load and and show



my server.cfg is located at C:\SRCDS\orangebox\garrysmod\cfg

and is set up the following way

Code:

"ServerSettings"
{
    "hostname"                "XXX"
      "rcon_password"             "XXX"
      "sv_password"             ""
    "sv_region"             "1" // eastcoast: 0 - westcoast: 1 - south america: 2 - europe: 3 - asia: 4 - australia: 5 - middle east: 6 - africa: 7 - world: 255
    "sv_lan"                "0"

// Sandbox server settings
    "sbox_allownpcs"            "1"
    "sbox_godmode"            "0"
    "sbox_plpldamage"            "0"  // set this to 1 to disable player vs player damage.
    "sbox_playergod"            "0"
    "sbox_noclip"            "1"

// Sandbox limits
    "sbox_maxprops"            "150"
    "sbox_maxragdolls"        "5"
    "sbox_maxnpcs"            "10"
    "sbox_maxballoons"        "10"
    "sbox_maxeffects"            "50"
    "sbox_maxdynamite"        "10"
    "sbox_maxlamps"            "20"
    "sbox_maxthrusters"        "30"
    "sbox_maxwheels"            "20"
    "sbox_maxhoverballs"        "20"
    "sbox_maxvehicles"        "6"
    "sbox_maxbuttons"            "20"
    "sbox_maxsents"            "20"
    "sbox_maxemitters"        "5"
    "sbox_maxspawners"        "3"
    "sbox_maxturrets"            "2"


}

It says that the connection to the steam servers is successful, but when i would load into gmod and try to locate my server(through the ip), i cannot find it with any port, but it is still using the default port 27015

Make your server config is named server.cfg not server.cfg.txt

hmm, do i feel stupid now...

Now i am getting

Code:

Failed to load Steam ServiceBOpenService failedServiceStart: failed to start Unkown command "sbox_allownpc"
Unkown command "sbox_playergod"
Unkown command "sbox_maxsents"
Could not establish connection to Steam Servers.
Connection to Steam servers successful."

As well when i went to see if i can view the server on gmod, and could not see it.


I have also changed the server.cfg

Code:

"hostname"                "XXX"
"rcon_password"                 "XXX"
"sv_password"                 ""
"sv_region"                     "0" // eastcoast: 0 - westcoast: 1 - south america: 2 - europe: 3 - asia: 4 - australia: 5 - middle east: 6 - africa: 7 - world: 255
"sv_lan"                    "0"

// Sandbox server settings
"sbox_allownpcs"                "1"
"sbox_godmode"                "0"
"sbox_plpldamage"            "0"  // set this to 1 to disable player vs player damage.
"sbox_playergod"                "0"
"sbox_noclip"                "1"

// Sandbox limits
"sbox_maxprops"                "150"
"sbox_maxragdolls"            "5"
"sbox_maxnpcs"                "10"
"sbox_maxballoons"            "10"
"sbox_maxeffects"            "50"
"sbox_maxdynamite"            "10"
"sbox_maxlamps"                "20"
"sbox_maxthrusters"            "30"
"sbox_maxwheels"            "20"
"sbox_maxhoverballs"            "20"
"sbox_maxvehicles"            "6"
"sbox_maxbuttons"            "20"
"sbox_maxsents"                "20"
"sbox_maxemitters"            "5"
"sbox_maxspawners"            "3"
"sbox_maxturrets"            "2"
