Server.cfg help

[jlluck]

I've read thru the forum and you guys seem to be really helpful so excuse me if I ask really stupid qqs.
I recently installed the server stuff and am using the GUI to manage the server. When I look under the Configure tab I don't see any options. I'm not sure where to put the server.cfg file and I've tried all over the place and can't seem to get the server to see it to set up parameters. Where does the server.cfg need to be and will I be able to use the GUI to make changes? How do I set up the GUI to let me make changes via the config tab?
Thanks for helping out.

The GUI doesn't actually let you make changes much, if you want to configure your server I suggest running console (Even better I always suggest console cause the GUI sucks). The server.cfg should go in SRCDS\<modfolder\cfg\
Where <modfolder> is either cstrike, hl2mp, dod etc

So does it just float around in the mod folder (my case hl2mp for hl2:dm) or is it supposed to be in a cfg folder? I've seen screen shots of the config tab on Steam's site showing the abilty to make changes there versus opening the config file itself. I'm running a stand alone server for my friends to join up a few times a week and not a full time server so I don't mind the GUI. When I have time I'll dig into the console only. But I do appreciate the help. It's hard to find good info on setting up this server. I'm glad I found this forum.

Like I said above
SRCDS\<modfolder>\cfg\

So yes, it should be in the cfg folder.

If you ever want to go console, I made a huge tutorial covering pretty much everything on Planet Half-Life (Note: Mani admin part is OLD and doesn't work anymore!):

Dhooo!
Musta had sleep eyes when I read your earlier post. Sorryboutthat.

Thanks for the help and I will be sure to check out your tutorial.
I'm suspecting that the server.cfg file IS being read but that I just don't see it in the GUI - Configurations tab so I'll continue to edit manually.
Thanks Again!
