New Server?

[mad-d702]

Just installed a Windows Server 2008 yesterday, now I would like to get a Counter Strike Source server all set up, running, and ready to play.

What do I do next? Do I have to install/change/delete anything additional to WS 2008?


[FIXED] Server shows in master server list, people are able to join and play.
-Incorrect price blob version! Update your server!
-ERROR: mp_dynamicpricing set to 1 but couldn't download the price list!
-Error: Material "sprites/bubble" : proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found!
-Now, on a fresh new server, what do I need to do/install to make my members be able to connect to some kind of cp and add maps or things as such?
-On a fresh new server, what do I need to do/install to install HLstatsX?

Shouldn't have to.
Just use hlupdatetool.

Nothing special. If you want you can follow this guide about running a lag free server just to optimize everything. Some tweaks help, some dont.

i did install srcds, did the update, it stopped at 99.99% error of connection reset by peer and i started server anyways cuz i tried to update again and it said that its up to date... i started and its not showing in the list... nor is able to be palyed by ppl

yeah run the update again with the -verify_all switch. since the update ended unexpectedly, it's possible that a file became corrupt. that switch should correct it.

can you connect to it at all? if you can connect, what happens? any error messages, freezing?

and now also "Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port"

[drazah]

open ports on your pc firewall and router.
Or it may be to do with the fact u are running the server twice and its trying to boot with the same port? but that would make it try +1 usually

Remove your -IP line in your start up.
I have that fully explained in the FAQ sections

Need some more help...

Those errors are normal.
You can give users FTP access to the server's map folder.
You could also write a script to automatically go through the map folder and and re-make your mapcycle/maplist files.

99.9% of HLstatsX is on the HLstatsX server, NOT the game server it's self.

Setting up hlstatsx is not easy.
As for an automatic maplist script, you would have to write a basic one. I'm not sure how easy it would be to drop off the map extensions...
search around, someone might have already made one. Just set it to run every hour via windows.

How can I schedule a server automatic restart?
