Console Mode

[whardman]

I have been running srcds fine in GUI mode (with options: -port 27015 -maxplayers 12 -game cstrike -tickrate 66), but when I try to start it in console mode (with options: -console -port 27015 -maxplayers 12 -game cstrike -tickrate 66) it goes through the setup (running cfg's) then ends with "Network: IP [My IP], mode MP, dedicated YES, ports 27015 SV, 27005 CL". If I try to connect to it, it ignores the request. It also does not send out the Master Server List add server request. It is not a firewall issue as it works fine in gui mode.

Any ideas as to why it doesn't work?

OS: Windows Server 2003

Thanks,

Try something like:

Code:

-console -game cstrike +map de_dust -tickrate 66 -port 27015 +maxplayers 12

Also, make sure you have a server.cfg made in the cstrike\cfg folder.

You should see something like:

Quote:Adding master server 72.165.61.190:27011
Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27011
Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.

and the server will then be up and running.

Whoa, now that is a quick reply.

I guess I didn't realize the map option is required when running in console mode. I added it and it works perfectly.

Thanks.
