CS:S+DOD:S Beta

[Mooga]

So for those who are running DOD:S Beta servers, get ready for fun!
First off they already changed dodsbeta from being part of orangebox into being it's own folder.
And whenever you connect to the master server you instantly get sent two "love notes" (aka update messages). I've updated with -verify_all several times with no change.

EDIT: Maybe it does use the orangebox folder, I'm having major issues getting an up-to-date server running. But hell, it's valve... I should expect hell >_<

Found out the issue. When you this command:

Code:

-command update -game dodsbeta -dir MY_DIR

It installs in MY_DIR/orangebox/dodsbeta and pops a WinSock error after srcds is added. If you re-run that command it says it's up-to-date

Now if you run this command:

Code:

-command update -game dodsbeta -dir MY_DIR -verify_all

It installs in both the above dir and in MY_DIR/dodsbeta/HL2. WTF?

Running both these commands will run an out of date server:

Code:

MY_DIR/srcds.exe -game dodsbeta
MY_DIR/orangebox/srcds.exe -game dodsbeta

Hi. i have the same problem.. Server says its not updateted!? Don't know whats wrong..

[Mooga]

What's the dir you are installing to?
I did C:\dodsbeta
The only thing I can think is the name of the folder being dodsbeta might screw it up?

I also posted in the steam forums for help... There are servers up, so someone got it working.

i tried changing the folder name to dod for some giggles, that did nothing.

If anyone figures it out, please let us know.

[BrutalGoerge]

got it, you need your steam.inf to look like this...

PatchVersion=1.0.0.7
ProductName=dod
appID=302


the default has PatchVersion=1.0.0.4
