Hello, I have launched SRCDS on a dedicated server but from a client machine, I can not connect to it. This is inside a LAN and I have no software firewalls enabled, and I can ping to each other. In fact, I have a different game on the server and client running between the 2 machines so I know there is no connectivity issue. server is xp, and client is vista. I also have sv_lan set to 1.

Below is the output I get in the console when I launch. Notice there are several errors.

Can anybody help?

Thanks.

There's nothing to worry about!

Incorrect price blob version! Update your server!
Update your server, to avoid this one!
ERROR: mp_dynamicpricing set to 1 but couldn't download the price list!
This is for dynamicpricing, it's a "Rank - Weapon - System". To avoid this, use mp_dynamicpricing 0 in your autoexec.cfg
Error: Material "sprites/bubble" : proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found!
Just ignore this one, its the same as I have and all others, can be ignored(Standard bug, doesn't mean anything).
couldn't exec banned_users.cfg - couldn't exec bot.cfg - couldn't exec mani_server.cfg
Those files are missing, you've obviously added exec file.cfg in your server.cfg, without having the file to execute. Make the files and then it should disappear.

No need to update your server. SRCDS LOVES errors. If it doesn't show you errors, there are problems Smile

As I said, "they are standard bugs" Smile

(I case of dot 3)

Well the first one, thats not a standard bug, run HLDS for update Smile

Oh! I thought that was standard Toungue

I don't run any CS:S Server...

[*] Ok, for the blob version, I updated my server but still the same error. I ran these 3 commands:

hldsupdatetool -command update
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source"
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -verify_all

This is my command when I try to launch the console:

srcds -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Is this right for counter strike source?

[*] for the dynamicpricing, I don't even see that as an option in my server.cfg file. Should I just that line item in there and set it to 0?

The last 2 errors should be self explanatory and will ignore.

Thanks!

Go delete the file(.blob file), and then update agian.

Not if its Windows. The -autoupdate doesn't support Windows.

Yea, make your own line in your autoexec.cfg, since it gets executed before server.cfg, and then if you do it in server.cfg, the error will still be there.

Ok, I created the autoexec.cfg file and it fixed the blob and dynamic pricing error. Thank you!

So my server console outpout looks ok but when I launch my client, I still don't see any LAN games on my client. No firewall restrictions between the 2 machines. If I use the command:

srcds -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

is cstrike the right game for counterstrike source? Maybe I'm launching the wrong game on the server? These are both windows machine.

assmunk · 10-08-2008, 08:19 AM

im not sure if this is necessary but cstrike should be in quotes so instead of cstrike it should be "cstrike"

**Mooga** · 10-08-2008, 11:17 AM

I real think that error is normal...

All the errors you are getting can't be removed.

The blob error was part of mp_dynamicpricing, which has been removed (except the error!)
The mp_dynamicpricing is set to 1 is also still a remain of the dynamicpricing era, which has been removed completely except the errors!

The sprite error is cause by the map you load and has always been there, no it doesn't mean anything.

The exec files are exactly like realchamp said, if you have those exec'ed in your server.cfg you will get an error if they don't exist. You can either remove those exec lines from your cfg or make the files in your cfg folder.

Also you don't need quotes anywhere unless there are spaces in it (like in the updatetool -game "Counter-Strike Source")

Thanks for the responses guys. My console output looks ok depsite those known errors.

My question after getting the errors fixed is that my client still can't see the server. I thought those errors were the cause of them.

As a test, I launched the GUI dedicated server and ran the client on my laptop and was able to see the LAN game fine with no problems. When I tried to run the dedicated server on another machine, I can't see the game.
There are no firewall restrictions between the 2 machines and everything is internal, as I want to set this up as a LAN. I've also tried to launch the GUI on the server and my client still couldn't see antyhing.
And my sv_LAN is set to 1.

Any other idea guys?
