Tutorial: How to setup a TF2 server

[realchamp]

How does it say that? Please post your start-up line, I think you're missing something.

c:\HLserver\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -port 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort

it runns fine but i cannot get on to it nether can any one else

i have done every thing this forum has told me

[realchamp]

There's nothing you're missing! Looks fine.

Have you done portforward?

And do you host it on the server computer as you play on?

[yian_guruga]

yes i have doen the port farwered and i am running it on the same computer im playing on

[realchamp]

That's your problem. Since you can't connect yourself.

And can you create a new thread in General srcds? There'll be alot more to help you

Im stuck on step 3.

I opened a text file and typed this in C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir c:\HLServer

and I saved it as a .bat file. I open it up and I see a dos prompt flash in front of me for a split second. Nothing ever happens

I install this in the C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer directory

Do you have a folder called C:\srcds? if not, its got no where to install to

If he installed the HLDSUpdateTool there, then it will run just fine there. Having it at c:\srcds is not mandatory.

My point is that if you look, hes got HLDSupdatetool.exe installed in a folder in "Program Files", not C:\srcds.

Actually, he has it installed in c:\HLServer

But enough of the arguing.

Actually, I don't think he has it installed....period.

OMG THANK YOU
I had no idea where to write step 3 until now. I can finally finish my server.

Quick Question, I have port 59099 forwarded, can I use that instead of 27015? Cause It would be easily done for me?

Thx in advance

[realchamp]

Yes you can..

Just use: -port 59099.
