DoD source server

[SecretSniper]

Hello,
I am pretty knew to this srcds thing and i need help starting my server. I got it working and all but when the window that looks like a command prompt pops up it says
couldn't exec server.cfg
and
couldn't exec skill1.cfg
along with some other things that I am not as worried about. It says the connection to steam servers was successful but my friends cant join and I only play alone. Can anyone help me?

Do NOT run your SCRDS in GUI mode, it uses ALOT more resources and has alot of disadvantages, console is best to use so SecretSniper, you're doin the right thing.

For the errors, you have to make a server.cfg in your config folder, it's not automatically there, altho those errors are not "bad" your server will run fine but not "tweaked". You can find alot of server.cfg examples around here so just search for it.

For the server not showing up for your friends and stuff, i think you are using a router, be sure to configure it correctly, again just search the forums for port forwarding, there are enough posts and explanations about this.

As COLE-X said, be sure to have sv_lan set to 0 and get used to the command line variables.
