EXEC server.cfg COULDNT exec server.cfg

[hujnavarom]

Hi there,

I am testing a CS SOURCE server. I have problems with executing server.cfg file. I dont know where to have it. I tried :

1. D:\InstallerteSpill\steam\SteamApps\email\source dedicated server\platform\config

and

2. D:\InstallerteSpill\steam\SteamApps\email\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg

When im at 1. i see 2 files in the config folder.

dedicatedserverdialogconfig.vdf
server.vdf

As I understand and opened 1 of those files I saw that it was here the information was stored about how many players and stuff.

But really how do I exec server.cfg from the servermachine and with RCON

Here is my server.cfg

// server name
hostname "RooX Corner #ou.css"

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "5544332211"

// Server password
sv_password "5544332211"

// server cvars

// execute ban files

Ok first of all, this isnt the standalone srcds server dir, so im asuming you arent using the *best* dedicated server. I recommend that you download the hldsupdatetool here. Install this to c:\srcds (not the default dir.) Now navigate to c:\srcds and run HldsUpdateTool.exe from the command prompt with these command-line parameters:

HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir c:\srcds

Now go get a good book and write a 2 page summary on it while this thing downloads. After the DL is complete, open the cmd prompt and run the srcd.exe with these parameters

srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 20 +map cs_italy

that should get you started.

As for the autoexec.cfg, that should go (and should already be) in your c:\srcds\cstrike\cfg directory.

Hope this helps. Peace out
