GUI Program plus console problem

[andylampy]

Hi, i'm new here so i'm not sure if this has been covered or not but a quick search yeilded no results so i'm going to ask.

I was just wondering if it's posible to start SRCDS in GUI mode without that initial screen (the one where you pick the Name and Type and Map etc) as all those values are defined in either the server.cfg or passed to the program in the command line before it starts. Yes I know everyone says just use the console version, but I like the GUIs way of managing some variables and bans and such better.

Also, I seem to be having problems with setting the max number of players in the server, seems no matter what I do it sets it as 16 on both the GUI and console version (console version setting it to 2 if I leave out -maxplayers from the command line) does anyone know why or how to fix this.

Any help greatly appreciated

What game?
And if you really want to use the GUI, use the same command for the console version but without the -console command. That might help...

sorry, it was for hl2mp, guess that would of helped

IDK what the max players for hl2mp is... but look that up. It might be 16.

[andylampy]

just looked, the highest one on steam at the moment is 32, and it looks like you can just stick any number from 2-32 in there (there's a server that 23 on there aswell which is odd for a server) have you heard of the problem elsewere?

23 is so the last slot is just for saved slots. So the max umber of players is 22/23.
I don't know. Check your server.cfg if you have one, it might have some funny settings in it.
