I would appreciate any help guy's. So i install HLDS update tool and do the update everything downloads, It says everything is up to date so i close the cmd and reboot. Now i double click srcds and it doesnt do anything? Am i supposed to run something in cmd again? Im basically asking how do i run the server.

Also i Installed the Source dedicated server right off steams platform
what ports do i need to forward so people can join? I can join through my local. I need the port's and what is the name of what im port forwarding? Would it be steam server?

In order to run the server you have to provide a commandline. You can do this by creating a batch file, typing it in CMD or create a shortcut. It should contain the following:
srcds.exe -console -tickrate <number 30-100 here> -game <cstrike, dod, hl2mp here> -maxplayers <number> +map <mapnamehere>

Ok, I save my txt doc with the commands, .bat so it's a batchfile. But sill nothing loads. I did the commands with < >, Was i supposed to leave these out? I even now tried it with out < > and still nothing loads.

I'm not sure on how to write batch files but you need a certain syntax in it.
I always use a shortcut tho, I think it's easier.

Yes, when sometings written between <> it means everything has to be replaced by the value including the <>

should be:

srcds.exe -game cstrike -console -maxplayers 12 -tickrate 100 +map de_dust2

Some other things that might be a good idea to add would be:

+port 27015 +fps_max 500 -autoupdate -secure

np! And dammit! I knew my autoupdate wasn't working! hahaha
I didn't know that secure is default though, that's nifty.

Thanks!

Better to use serverchecker under windows, that auto restarts when a mod hangs at startup (and a batch file doesn't).

Hello, thought I might as well jack this thread since I'm having a similar problem. ^_^

I downloaded hldsautoupdate.exe, ran it (CMD: hldsupdatetool -command update -game "dods" -dir C:\srcds) for Day of Defeat: Source, but I cannot get the window to come up. I created a batch file to execute; the contents are:

srcds.exe -console -tickrate 100 -game dods -maxplayers 18 +map dod_orange_fight_arena +port 27015 +fps_max 500

However when I execute this batch file a command prompt comes up displaying these commands, and shuts down imediately. Ideas? I'm at a loss.

Strange, problem was that I used 'dods' instead of 'dod' in the command window. =S

Won't work if server crashes in some times because mods crash the server.
