PHP Code:
Half-Life Dedicated Server (Steam) Update Tool
[4.07.05]
HldsUpdateTool is an application that will update an existing Half-Life Dedicated Server installation to the latest version or will download the latest version (from scratch) if an existing version is not found. To save time/bandwidth downloading files, it's better to install HldsUpdateTool into the root folder of an existing Half-Life Dedicated Server installation.
Installation
------------
1) Creating an account
It is no longer necessary to have a Steam account to use this tool.
2) Getting the latest version of the Dedicated Server
To download the latest version of the dedicated server to your machine:
a) Open a command prompt.
b) Change to the directory where the HLDS Update Tool is installed.
c) Run the HLDS Update Tool with the "update" command:
>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game <game> -dir <installdir>
<game> "cstrike", "dmc", "dod", "ricochet", "tfc", "valve", "Counter-Strike Source", or "hl2mp"
<installdir> is the path where you want the files installed
e.g. . (for the current directory) or c:\hlserver
e.g.
>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir .
or
>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir c:\hlserver
(NOTE: that will be ./steam instead of HldsUpdateTool.exe for Linux users)
d) Steam remembers the options you use, so when you need to update next time you only need to run:
>HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update <game>
e) You can also install multiple copies of the server by specifying a different <installdir>.
f) Half-Life mods (eg cstrike, dod) and Source mods (eg hl2mp) must be installed to separate directories
3) Updating your Dedicated Server
If your dedicated server becomes out-of-date you will see the following message in your server console and in the server log:
"Your server needs to be restarted in order to receive the latest update."
To update, stop your dedicated server and run the update commands described in Section 2 (above).
4) Help
To see this info and info about other options of the tool, run it with "-?" and it will print them on the screen.

FAQ
---
1) Q: No one is connecting to my server/I get errors when I try to connect to my server.
A: Run the HLDS Update Tool with the "update" command to make sure you have the most recent version.
2) Q: When I first run the HldsUpdateTool I see a message about "Could not create file: Permission denied". What's wrong?
A: The HldsUpdateTool has the ability to auto-update itself, but to do this it must be able to overwrite itself. Make sure the Windows user you're logged-in as has permission to overwrite the "HldsUpdateTool" executable.
3) Q: Where can I get help?
A: Join the Steampowered forums or one of the Valve Server Admin Mailing lists:
