mani help...

[eipeks]

So I've installed a TF2 server on a second machine in my place. I do not have TF2 installed on it nor do I have steam on the second PC.

Is there any way to run Mani Admin on the server machine when all I have there is the HLDS running my TF2 server? I can't, for the life of me figure out how to get mani workin this way....

Yeah thats how you would normally do it? Just check out Mani's installation guide

I dont think so. The installation giude seems to be only for a setup if you have the full game on the PC. My server PC doesnt, just the HLDSupdate version. The folders he talks about, dont exist on my server. When I use the create VDF tool, i dont know where to put all the files.

any other ideas please?

Wait Im a little confused, how is it setup? You dont have a full version of srcds on your server?

I dont have steam or TF2 installed from steam. All I did on the server was run HLDSupdate and it downloaded the TF2 files.

My second PC that I play the game on has my account folder and everything in it. So when mani says to install the 4 folders into my account folder/mod folder, the server doesnt seem to have those folders.

So I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to throw the addon stuff.


(thanks for your patience, btw, I appreciate it).

Oh thats easy. Im not familiar with the tf2 folder types but just go to the root directory where the cfg folder is and the sounds folder is, the maps, etc. Then using winrar or winzip just extract all the files to the root directory. BAM! All of the files are in place.

I don't have any Mani XP, but it's made as a server-side plug in and all walk-through should be made for the SRCDS. You might need to find one for TF2 though since it works different then other HL2 games.

Yes it does. On the server, where ever you downloaded tf2.

Folder structure is: /srcds_or_whatever_you_called_it/orangebox/tf/

tf = your mod.

Extract mani zip file here, run create vdf, and place the file in the same folder.

configure clients.txt

done.

Ok thanks, ill give that a try... one last question....

It asks me if I want to overwite the cfg and sound folder... I can do this?

[Spartanfrog]

Yeah it just merges the files together.
