Counter Strike Server Help(DOS)

[smgcdx]

hey guys, i dled the HLDS and made a DOS prompt because when i started the server up it said it was out of date(need update). So i went to the DOS prompt and typed what the instructions said which where to type C:/hlserver/hldsupdatetool -update cstrike /hlserver/hldsupdate tool. SO it starts to download but then it stops and says: Could Not Spawn Self-Updater HldsUpdateToolTMP.exe <errno=2> Someone Please Help Me I Would Really Aprecciate it. Thanks

C:/hlserver/hldsupdatetool -command update -game cstrike -dir c:/hlserver
Then it did this:

ok, so basically, you type it full out right? your command prompt remains at either C:\> or C:\Documents and Settings\<username>> ? try doing this
when you open your cmd.exe type in

Code:

cd C:\hlserver

then after that, try running

Code:

hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir c:/hlserver

Just like that, and tell me how it goes.
Keep in mind, using -game cstrike WILL install counter-strike 1.6, not source. Not sure if you knew that or not.

when i type cd c:/hlserver it says:
The system cannot find the path specified.

[cryotek]

change the / to \

also..
If it is your computer you are running your cs server on, then yes. Are you runnning windows XP? windows 2003?

[smgcdx]

xp

[cryotek]

ok, just remember, if the directory c:\hlserver does exist..

Code:

cd c:\hlserver

will work

Code:

cd c:/hlserver

will not
cd c:/hlserver is what you used.

once you type in cd C:\hlserver your prompt should then look like this:

Quote:C:\hlserver>

and you can run the hldsupdatetool

I need some help installin wc3 tho, it said wc3 comes with amx_mod. so i downloaded it and put in the Hlserver folder. Then i tried to run it and it didnt work. It said:Errors Encountered While Performing The Operation. Look at Information Window For More Details. And I Tried to put the instillation under c:/hlserver

[cryotek]

keep in mind that.. 192.168.1.100 is yor LAN IP.. you're the only one that can access this. which wc3 are you trying to install?

[smgcdx]
