hlds_run instead of srcds_run

[liquid_fubar]

What am I doing wrong? This is driving me nuts.
I am running
red hat 9 on a
2.8 GHz Celeron
with 512 RAM
and a 80 GB hd
I have DSL 1.5Mb down by 1Mb up
Everything I have read suggests that all this is more than enough to run a ds. So it has to be a short circuit between the seat and the keyboard.

I have followed 6 different tutorials and installed 6 different times but everytime I end up with the same result, a hlds_run file and not a src_run file. So I finally said to heck with it lets try running the hlds_run and see what I get. My server won't authenticate with WON and in the console it shows the server IP as 127.0.0.1:27015 and it says couldn't exec listip.cfg and couldn't exec banned.cfg and then freezes up. The only command it will respond to is exit.
In my DSL modem I have opened ports UDP 27010, 27012, 27015, 27040, and TCP 7002. Just like it says in the readme file.

What do I need to do I just want to run a counter-strike source server.

Do you even have the Source server files installed? You have to install them to a different folder from all the HL1 servers. Copy "steam" from your root hlds folder into another folder, lets say, called "source".

Once you have that folder, run ./steam like normal except use "Counter-Strike Source" as the game instead of cstrike.

Code:

./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -username <username here> -password <password here>

After all that downloads you should have srcds_run in the root 'source' folder. I'm still installing the source server now so I'm not positive.

OK I decided to just do it again with the tutorial here.
But I am having issues with it. I can't even run the update command, I get this instead of a bunch of file flying by me being updated.

Code:

[root@localhost source]# ./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -username liquid_fubar -password ###### -remember_password
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Use:

Create a Steam Account:
        -create <username> <password> <question> <answer>

Install or update HLDS:
        -update <game> <installdir> <username> [<password> [Y]]
         Y => remember password

View installed versions:
        -version

Everything there is exactly as it appears in my concole except the password for my steam account. This account works I have used it before. I get the same message when I try to create a new account.

HELP!!!!

try:

./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir ./ -username liquid_fubar -password ###### Y

If that doesn't work. Try adding the absolute address (long version)

[link1305]

It looks like the Steam file has to be updated using the old syntax before you can use the new one (which I posted).

[Japje]

first get a newer steam file (hldsupdatetool) then try it again.

[liquid_fubar]

That is the new version of hldsupdatetool. I pulled it straight from the link on the tutorial located on this site.

link1305 the command you posted gives me the same result as the command Ard_Choile posted, which is the result that I posted above. I feel I am at an impass, all your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Have you created the account?

[liquid_fubar]

Yes I have created the account. On one of my previous attempts to install this I successfully set up an account. Even when I try to set up a new account I get the same response as stated above. Its like it thinks there is a syntax error and is asking for correct input, but as far as I can tell the input is correct.

[liquid_fubar]

Is there something special I shoudl be doing with my network settings in redhat?

[Ard Choille]

Which folder are you trying to install the server in?

[wesburke]

I am recieving similiar results now, where I keep recieving the same results as previously posted. I am Installing into user/srcds_1

If you have an account and the old steam executable, try running

Code:

./steam -update "Counter-strike source" ./ <username> <password>

replaceing the 2 <> with your username and password, that should update teh steam executable then ask you to run it again using the new format ex: -command update -game etc..

[liquid_fubar]

Cryotek
When I try that syntax it says

Code:

updating game
connection closed by peer

take all of about 1 second.

maybe it doesnt like my steam account
what is the old syntax for creating a steam account?

[liquid_fubar]

I thought the executable that is referred to in the tutorial on this site would be the new executable. That is where I got the halflifeupdatetool.
Am I wrong?
