Hi,
I'm having some strange problems setting up a HLDM2 server.
I have downloaded and installed the SRCDS standalone server tool, and attempted to set it up one one of my pcs (we'll call it PC 1). When I try to run SRCDS with or without any commands such as, -game or -console, nothing happens at all. I've tried setting it up with a batch file too and put in as many commands as I could, with no results (not even just SRCDS -game hl2dm).
Running the GUI version within Steam seems to work o.k., but naturally I prefer to set up the standalone.
Now, here's the really weird part.
I packed up and transferred the entire folder (in my case "C:\hl2server") to the same root location on my games pc (let's call it PC 2) And it works every which way I try it. Even just launching the srcds with no command lines launches the GUI without problems.
When I tried the same again on my spare machine(lets say PC3) I get the same results as PC1 - nothing!
PC1 is an AMD 1900+ (1.6Ghz) with 256mb ram
PC2 is P4 3.0Ghz 1Gb ram
PC3 is PIII 1.2Ghz with 1Gb Ram
The only real difference is that PC 2 has steam and all my games on it (being the games machine), PC1 has steam but nothing on it except for HL2DM dedicated server. and PC3 has nothing at all (steam wise) and the copied HL2Server folder installed.
Please can someone help, I am really keen to create my own server seperate from my games machine.
Thanks in advance,
