Small CS:S Lan Party Server Help
#1
Hi, im goin to make small cs:s lan party with my friends and i need help on makin server for it. So i have steam on my comp and i need server, steam has dedicated server but that server sucks because u cant make mani and other mods work there so i need make server with hldsupdatetool it will look same as steam dedicated server but mods will work on that one, so i'm not sure how server will work.
first can i have hldsupdatetool dedicated server and steam running at same time on same comp ?
second would i able to run dedicated server with 6 players on it and play css at same time or it will lag ? My pc setup is pentium 4, single core 3.2Ghz, 2Gb of Ram and 2 Seagate 7,200 RPm hard drives.

You should not run the server on the same box you are playing on. Get a spare computer if possible. Gaming and running a server on the same can create several issues that can be annoying to get working.

If you want to run a server off the same box, just do a listen server.

CS:S. I think so...
Put the Ram in. But for 6 people, just do a listen server.

If you wan Scripts and Mani, I prefer that you use SRCDS then.

But if you do, you won't be able to hold more than 4 slots, MAXIMUM.

No, you can't use Mani on a listen server, since it will course an immediately crash under start-up.

A listen server is the tab in your Counter-Strike: Source Game "Create Server", thats a listen server.

Did you test this or just what you have heard cause Mani always says that you can put mani in a listen server. I'm just curious what the answer is Smile. Anyway I'm pretty sure you can put scripts in a listen server.

I've tested it long time ago, it used to crash.
(Edit: Both: Steam Dedicated Server & Listen)

Yes, Eventscripts works and War-scripts Smile (calcss.cfg)

But Mani won't, I'm not sure if it does now. Sometime ago I've tested it!
