CS:Source server.cfg

[noog]

finally, after trawling through these boards without the luxury of a search facility I have managed to get my source server up to date. now, where is the server.cfg? do i have to make one from scratch?

when i try to launch from commandline without a .cfg it just stops automatically


noog@dedicated6:~/source$ ./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust -debug debug.log
Auto detecting CPU

Enabling debug mode
Auto-restarting the server on crash

any clues?

[showdax]

All configuration files go in: [sourcedirectory]/cstrike/cfg

Also take note that server.cfg will be executed every time a new map is loaded. If you have commands that you only want executed when you start the server, add them to autoexec.cfg (which goes in the aforementioned directory.)

[noog]

do you have an example server.cfg I can edit?

[showdax]

This is an edited version of my server's configuration file:

// Server
hostname "your server name" // Sets the hostname that you'll see in the
server browser
rcon_password yourpassword // Sets the password you'd use for rcon (change
this)
log 1 // Enables logging
// log_udp 1 // Enable this to enable remote logging (if you
enable this, add "log_addaddress [ip]:[port]"
to autoexec.cfg)
log_console 1 // Disable this to remove logging events from
your server console
log_level 1 // Sets log level to 1
sv_region 0 // 0 is US East

[quote]sv_region 0 // 0 is US East[/qoute]

What would be the setting for US Weast Coast?

[noog]

bah, I've got the config in place but it still behaves the same way, the server dies as soon as it's forked. :(

also the definitions of sv_region are below:


0: US East coast, 1: US West coast, 2: South America, 3: Europe, 4: Asia, 5: Australia, 6: Middle East, 7: Africa.

[kennycom]

Thanks On the region :)

I have 2 more qestions though..

mp_playerid 1 // Can only view teammates names when you aim at them...

I take it that with this setting at 1 you only get teammates names right?

and....

sv_voiceenable 0 // Disable voice communication...

With the above cvar set at 0 you cannot talk to the other team right???

I also have that problem noog... Nothing I do with the command line switches seems to work

[root@www:/games/srcds_l1]$ /games/srcds_l1/srcds_run -game cstrike +exec server.cfg +ip 192.168.0.5 +port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust

[root@www:/games/srcds_l1]$

I'm using RedHat 7.2, and the -debug option doesn't give any more info.

Any other suggestions?

Search forum for glibc 2.3 or just glibc

[crawlem]

I would do but the search is disabled :) I'll have a look around... odd that there's no error message though.

that's after I installed glibc

still no luck :<

[crawlem]

I tried srcds on my RedHat 9 box (complete with glibc 2.3) and it worked great!

It looks like you were trying to install glibc 2.2 there noog..?

[noog]

yep, I updated my version of debian from woody to sarge (stable to testing) and now it works fine!.

shame i had to upgrade to get source but thanks for your help :)
