I want to know all the requirements you need to start an online dedicated server.
I have done:
- Installation of srcds
- Updated with hldsupdatetool
- No router so no needed port forwarding
- Allowed the neccessary ports through McAfee and Windows Firewall (27011 UDP and TCP)
- Server is set up correctly (have tested) with custom map and deathmatch mod.
What I know I haven't done:
- I don't think Mani Admin Plug-in installed correctly as when I type "admin" into the client console it is an unrecognized command.
So I've basically set up the server but it only appears with a local IP and in the LAN tab of the server browser. I have tried the sv_lan 0 and ip xxx.xxx.xx.xx port 27011 commands. I'm using the command prompt infterface, not the GUI.
Also this is a bit of what the server says:
Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.
Adding master server xx.xx.xxx.xxx:27011
Adding master server xx.xx.xxx.xxx:27011
This is my first server I'm setting up on my home PC (Vista) and it's driving me crazy lol. Thanks in advance
