Dedicated Server Stuck in a Loop

[benslashjames]

Here's the problem I'm having. I got my Dedicated Server all set up and launching, but this is what it does:

[root@server]# ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +ip benwirth.dyndns.org +map de_dust +maxplayers 20
Auto detecting CPU
Using AMD Optimised binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash

It loops the Summary and Executing lines indefinitely, and never really starts. What's going on? It's stuck in this loop and won't start up.

Quick note, I created an autoexec.cfg file and that changed my output slightly:

Summary: 347 resources total 15.63 Mb, 23.30 % of capacity

Make sure your server.cfg file doesn't execute server.cfg or another cfg file that executes server.cfg.

[benslashjames]

Nope, the only exec in my server.cfg is for banned_ip and banned_user, and they are both empty files.

I would try running the update command from the tutorial again, maybe a file is corrupt or something like that. Are you running a 64 bit processor? I know that I have seen some issues posted about problems with 64bit. When you say that you created an autoexec.cfg file that changed your output, what exactly did you put in the autoexec.cfg?

[benslashjames]

I have a 64 bit processor but I'm not running a 64-bit version of anything, it's standard i386 or 586 or whatever. All I put into autoexec.cfg was "sv_alltalk 1" just to have some sort of value in it.

[benslashjames]

J.Christy, I ran the update command again after removing all the hlds downloaded files, and I still get the same problem. Am I the first person this has ever happened to?

./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +ip benwirth.dyndns.org +map de_dust +maxplayers 20

Depending on your setup.. If you are behind a router change the +ip to the real local ip of your machine and foward the ports from the router to the game server. Also shame on you for running it as root...

[get]

edit the valve.rc in cfg folder,

Code:

// load the base configuration
//exec default.cfg
r_decal_cullsize 1

// Setup custom controller
exec joystick.cfg

// run a user script file if present
exec autoexec.cfg

//
// stuff command line statements
//
stuffcmds

erase all and type:

Code:

echo "loading port"
port 27015
echo "setting IP"
ip XX.XX.XX.XX //not a DNS!!!!!
echo "setting maxplayers"
maxplayers 16
echo "executing Server.cfg"
exec server.cfg
echo "all done"

now start the server only with:

./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_aztec

and look into console for what it says.

try leaving the dns addy out
./srcds_run -console -game cstrike -port 27015 +map de_dust +maxplayers 20
i had the same problem and if i place my external ip it wouldn't connect to steam. But when i left out the ip addy everyone could see it from steam and i wouldn't get that problem.
