non-steam srcds and mods

[Ojii]

how do I set up a srcds server to run a hl2 mod? (namely sourceforts).

I know how to set up srcds servers for the 'normal' games (dods, css, hl2dm) but what about mods?

the sourceforts site won't help me much as it only tells me how to install a ded server with steam...

I used to host a Zombie Master server by downloading hl2 using hldsupdatetool then simply installed zombie master into the folder. Here is the link i used....you can try it with source forts i guess.

good idea but it won't work

after this command:

C:\srcdssf>srcds.exe -console -game sourceforts -maxplayers 12 -autoupdate

i get the following console, but other to when I start for example dods the network IP is wrong (should be 192.168.1.x) and no master servers are added... (btw: the autoexec.cfg is a 0-byte-file... no idea what it's talking about 20mb)

Well you should have autoupdate in there and http://www.sourcefortsmod.com/boards/showthread.php?t=487
Closest thing i could find on it in the sourcefortsmod forums. If that doesnt work, I recommend posting in their forums.
