Windows auto start ?

[SanMan]

Was wondering if there is a "Auto Start" script for windows ?
I have seen scripts linux but not windows or Maybe windows can not be restarted..

[Mooga]

to restart srcds or windows?

[SanMan]

I'm sorry srcds I mean. using windows

[Drocona]

There are some batch scripts written by people (including me)

I made one for CSS and alike
Mooga has edited mine to work with TF2

Just search on these forums for "SRCDS Guardian" and you should find it

You can turn it into a service.
OR, you can customize this bat script and add a shortcut to your start-up folder.
And as mentioned, most of the credit goes to Drocona.
I just re-wrote comments and made it a little easier for newbies

Code:

::Start the actual server

echo (%date%)(%time%) TF2 Server crashed or closed. Now restarting...

>> TF2_Guardian.log echo (%date%)(%time%) TF2 Server crashed or closed. Now restarting...


::Server crashed or closed, so we point it to the return point to start the server again
goto srcds

[Mooga]

It doesn't matter were you put it.
As long at as you make sure this line leader to where your server is:

Code:

::Start the actual server
start /wait C:\hl2server\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -maxplayers 24 +fps_max 200 -port 27015 +map ctf_2fort -tickrate 66

Also, make sure you close SRCDS Guardian before shutting down your server or it will just re-start.

[SanMan]
