TF 2 Server Install

[FARQU2]

can someone please help me im trying to compile a TF2 server on my linux box every time i try to create an account for the server it keeps going back to wanting an account meaning its not being created or when i try to update to install the server i get this

/home/TF2/Value/HLServer/hlds_l# ./steam -command update -game "tf"
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Use:

Create a Steam Account:
-create <username> <password> <question> <answer>

Install or update HLDS:
-update <game> <installdir> <username> [<password> [Y]]
Y => remember password

View installed versions:
-version

can someone please help me and tell me what i may be doing wrong

thankyou in advance

You need to add -dir . to the end of it. Username and password are no longer required and are only optional.

Code:

./steam -command update -game "tf" -dir .

OK...

so i succeeded 2hours ago in setting up the server...i could connect but when a mate tried to he had signal "server is not responding" ... after a while i checked and noticed the server went down...so i tried to put it up again...

Code:

/teamfortress2/orangebox$ ./srcds_run -console -game tf +ip 88.198.23.119 -port 27015  +maxplayers 24

anyone got an idea on where i'm wrong?


EDIT:
ok so i seems to be working after i added +map ctf_2fort ... but now when someone wants to connects they all get :

Hi

Seems I'm having the exact same problem, running on Ubuntu. Server fully updated, did verify, ports forwarded, server listed, was working yesterday. Read many suggestions to delete ClientRegistry.blob, did that, but now there is none anywhere on system and still getting error? argh! Noone can join because of this verify error.

/srcds_run -game tf -maxplayers 16 +map arena_dm_b3 +ip 0.0.0.0
(behind NAT with forwarded ports. Specifying external doesnt work)

cheers, om3ga

Upgrade from your P3 or Athlon XP - linux binaries don't support them.

I have an Athlon XP on my Ubuntu system. I get the same error when trying to run TF2. Can someone suggest what CPU I can get for this old system that will run TF2? Or can someone recommend a cheap mobo combo that I can buy? I would rather just get the cpu tho

Mobo ECS Kt600-a
1gig Crucial PC2700 333
Athlon XP 1.6hz 2500 ???

when I paste this....

Code:

./srcds_run -console -game tf +ip here -port here +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort

it says this....

Code:

HLDS installation up to date
server@server:~/srcds_2$ ./srcds_run -console -game tf +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort
Invalid game type 'tf' sepecified.

ideas?

I think the reason this happens is because srcds_run looks for a directory named "tf" in the same directory it's in. You should try moving srcds_run so that it's beside the "tf" directory.

I´ve tried everything on the forum but i still keep getting this message:

Code:

./orangebox/srcds_run -console -game tf +ip xxx.xxx.xx.xxx -port 27016 +maplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort

Please Help

for some reason the command needs to be run from the orangebox directory... if you execute it from any other directory it will give you that message.

Because you're still not doing it right?!

Code:

cd orangebox/
./srcds_run -console -game tf +ip xxx.xxx.xx.xxx -port 27016 +maplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort

It looks like there is a new beta build that addresses the "bad bone weights" and other errors due to having a non-SSE2, non-FCMOV, etc processor. Specifically AMD procs, but this worked perfectly on my dual p3 server.

./steam -command update -game tf -beta tf20312


-This is my first post, so I'm not sure how things work around here, but this may be worthy of a sticky!

Anyone help with this?

I did a -verify_all and it seems to hate me still. This is a newer supermicro 1u setup with a c2d e6420 cpu with freebsd 6.22

good tutorial here, i just got mine up lol, didn't really need too much help cuz i've done this with CSS and it was basically the same

[Cisc0Kid]

Sooo....I got the server up and running looking fine. I wanted to stop it and test a start script, only to get an error upon restarting (with -debug).

I keep getting the following error in debug log and server will not completely init.

"cat: hlds.5322.pid: No such file or directory"

A "ps -waux" shows 5322 as the server PID

root 5322 5133 0 11:50 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /tf2/orangebox/srcdcs_run -console -debug -game tf +ip 10.15.15.69 -port 27005 +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort


Shouldn't this hlds.#.pid file be created automatically?
