Hey all,
I have a problem I just cant seem to fix. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've tried everything I've been able to find.
My problem is that, quite simply, my servers wont update (Garry's mod and Team Fortress 2). I don't know why, I've tried using the hldsupdatetool with the whole -command update and -verify_all crap, which does nothing. It just tells me over and over again it cant find the installation at the given directory, (BUT ITS THERE!) and then starts downloading something random, like the TF2 dedicated server tool, which I don't need. I can start the server up no problem, but, obviously I cant join, as the versions are different...
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if there's a "quick fix"...
Thanks guys.

Sounds to me you forgot or incorrectly set the -dir command for the updater.
It only gives those messages when you do a completely new install.
if your srcds.exe is in C:\SRCDS\orangebox
the -dir should be C:\SRCDS

Hey man,
That seems to have done it. Its now going through everything and making sure its all there.
But, does it have to do this every time the game updates? Is there a quicker way? Like it just updates the components that are changed?
And, is there a quick way I can do it? Instead off going through CMD each time? Like a file that I can just click and open or something?
Thanks again.

Add the command to a batch script.
Also, remote -verify_all from the update line.

Where do I get one of those? Can you link me? Or can it be made maybe?
Thanks

You can download Mooga's:

Take the .zip folder and extract it for the batch script!

That's great. Now I got a batch file!
But, how do I make it so it updates my server?

Well, if it was Linux, you could just add -autoupdate in the end, of the line.
But, I got this to work. When you start up your server, the "hldsupdatetool" will start to check for updates, but it will just work next time
you restart your server.
I'm not entirely sure about, the bad news about it(if there's some), I haven't had problems yet!

Okay, I'll give it a try.

That wont work.
Autoupdate doesn't work in windows.
Blits: Give me and full path to Hldsupdatetool.exe and your srcds.exe and the game. I'll write one for you.

I didn't use the -autoupdate command  . And it works just fine ..
Check here:

I've just opened your batch script and this it what there came.
When you quit the server agian, the update will be startet, and if it crashes your server wouldn't crash

Hope that's enough?
