server.cfg file help.

[cmpnbstd]

Hello All,

I need a little help with my HL2 server. I noticed they changed the MOTD.txt file and could use someones example to set up mine.
Also...
When I finished looading the hl2mp on my server, there was no server.cfg template. I do not know if it is the same as hldm or not? I figure that there are some base server settings that are different then hldm so could someone please send me their server.cfg file that I could use as a template. I am running just a simple hl2mp server.

Thank you,

The Bastard

Anyone running a HL2 Death match server that could post their server.cfg & Autoexec.cfg files as examples.

The HL2 setup is considerably different then the HL2 setup.

Is there a public list of CVARS for HL Death match somewhere?
