I've just done a fresh install, it's about 1.5GB.

I'm trying to get the server to boot without luck. I'm on the listserv and other are trying to DL it now. I'll give an example boot line when I've got one working (for windows. Sorry Linux guys, you're on your own )

[Mooga]

Ah, problem found:

Jason Wrote:Most of the files for the Left 4 Dead Demo Dedicated Server are now available. This is basically a preload for the Demo dedicated server, as we have not released all the binaries required to run a server just yet. So if you would like to run a server use the game parameter of "l4d_demo" from hldsupdatetool.

i am trying out the linux server now, SO EXCITING

[Mooga]

It can't be ran until tomorrow. A few files are still missing.

[ClanWoof]

Are the files out at midnight? Or early in the morning.
Wonder how the matchmaking will be, will I be able to join my own servers?

[Mooga]

LOL, check the other thread about match making. I'll try to update that when news is released.
So far Valve hasn't given us that information... Admins are NOT happy right now, lol.

[helio]

i got the server installed and all, tried to start it but i still need a file, cant wait

[ClanWoof]

Let me know if you find out how to get it running on Ubuntu please.

[helio]

for the cmd line i tryed this ./srcds_run -console -game left4dead -autoupdate +maxplayers 4 ,thats right its just they havent given us all the files yet

[Hazz]

Exciting stuff, post back if you get all the files downloaded and working.

[helio]

the remaining files have been released

[helio]

it gave me a few errors

Code:

************************************************

[Mooga]
