Tutorial: How to setup a DOD:S server

[Drocona]

Tweakman, -autoupdate does not work on Windows
For Linux yes you can use it but you need the updatetool for windows.

Hi Dudes,

when i run my server i receive many error messages, like that:

Network: IP X.X.X.X, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
Error: Material "effects/sun_clouds" : proxy "TextureScroll" not found!
Error: Material "maps/dod_kalt/nature/water_canals_city_murky_5600_3560_-245" :
proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found!
Error: Material "maps/dod_kalt/nature/water_canals_city_murky_5600_3560_-245" :
proxy "TextureScroll" not found!
Error: Material "maps/dod_kalt/nature/water_canals_city_murky_5600_3560_-245" :
proxy "WaterLOD" not found!

This is normal:?

Another question, i need have another account to run my server?

Ty for all,

Those errors are completely normal, you can ignore them.

Also you don't need a different account, the SRCDS is free and can be installed seperately by using hldsupdatetool.exe

Ty Drocona, all working now!

This error can be a problem? "Could not establish connection to Steam servers"

[Drocona]

it either means that your router is blocking ports or just a bug with the transmission.

Hi, When i try to put it in a perminant file like C:/ ... it says you do not have permission to save here and to contact the administrator for permission when i am on the account and is the administrator so if u could help me tht would be great thank you

Just wondering i have a not so goos computer but could i run dods and the server at the same time on the same computer or would i lag like crazy?

[Drocona]

no matter how good your computer is you should never run a server and the game from the same computer.

why not? If i did would it REALLY screw up my computer?

[Drocona]

It wont screw your computer but it's built to run on a dedicated machine, thus guarantees the quality of the game.

playing and running from the same machine is a lot more issue and performance sensitive.

Follow the guidelines as stated above, all that is really different is the following:

Create a new text file named server.cfg and edit it in kwrite (or your favorite text editor) add the commands and configure as stated above and save as stated.

I store all my HLDS1 and HLDS2 servers in a folder in my user home called 'steam' in this steam folder I have all the directories for dedicated servers. In this case I have a folder names srcsds_l for my Source Server Files. Now I create a .sh (a windows type of batch file for linux). Conveniently I call my DoD:S launcher called dods.sh as a good practice. So use the following server launcher command:
[/code]

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting KW:DoDS Server"
cd /home/gameuser/steam/srcds_l
./srcds_run -console -game dod -pingboost 3 +maxplayers 10 -ip XX.XX.XX.XX -port 270XX +map dod_anzio +exec server.cfg -autoupdate

Mind you though, I run very good and reliable servers and I have a very good machine to do it on as well as a fantastic broadband connection.

Our server is now up and running as we speak at a test. Something new for us in 2008.

Hope this helps the Linux server operators.
