You can't double click the srcds.

Look in some guides in the tutorials section how to install a server.

....im reading the tutorials but none of the things in cmd work?..
it always says path not found or something

[Mooga]

where is your server installed?

[killer582]

this is the path

C:\Documents and setings\Dan Young\Desktop\Public_Installer\Server\Orangebox

[Mooga]

What game is it?
What starting map do you want?
What tick rate do you want?
What port do you want?

If you post that I'll throw it into a batch script for you.

Not the best documented batch script I've posted, but it does the job.
Create a new text file and name is GMod_Server_Start.bat
Make sure it's a .bat and not a .txt

Enter this into the bat file:

Code:

::Start the actual server

::Server crashed or closed, so we point it to the return point to start the server again
goto srcds

Run the bat file to run your server (theoretically)
Feel free to make any changes to the start up line.

And a note to anyone who thinks I've just been as ass to everyone:
I'm actually helping this guy out!

Oh ya, and remember to search and read the FAQ

[killer582]

the error says Failed to load the Launcher DLL
The Specif Molecule could not be found
.i took a screen show but it wont let me attach it.


ohh yeah i put all that stuff in command promt is that right?

[Mooga]

No, you make a file called "Start_server.bat"
then double click on the bat file.

[killer582]

i feel like a noob asking but what can be used as a bat file?
notpad?

[killer582]

nvm. i got it but now i got a thing that says 16. bit MS-DOS subsystem
