You first go to the steam website and download the hldsupater tool and download the server files necessary to run the srcds.
Since your kind of new to installing an actual srcds, refer to this guide for help...
http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=HL2Guides.Detail&id=4&game=3
Yes, it is possible to run both a srcds and play on it at the same time on the same computer...but it's unlikely cuz it may be laggy or your computer can't handle pressure of running both a game and a srcds.
For you to play on your server, you must first launch it....then go to your steam menu where the games tab is...right click it, go to properties and go to set launch options. Input this command... +clientport XXXXX 27000-27032 (Do not use 27020, it's used for tv_port or sourcetv. Click on your game and join your server through the lan tab or finding it through the server list. Note: This will work even if you set the ip in the startup command.
If you guys want proof that it's possible, I can just record a small clip of my own server on my computer and play on it for you guys to see it for yourself.
Stud Kick Ass Wrote:When I try to install mani admin, I've done the steps here: http://noobgamers.com/forum/tutorials/61-how-add-yourself-admin-mani-admin-plugin.html#post121
When I add my rcon and that it says bad password and wont let me go any further.
Please help 
.
In your server.cfg, look if you have this command.... rcon_password "". If it's not there, then you have no password for rcon. You must first set it before you can use it to make yourself mani admin through rcon.
This is an example of my server.cfg btw. You can use if you want...if you haven't setup your server.cfg yet.
