batch file question

[MM983]

I have read two tutorials, one on steam's support site and one located here. This is in regards to the ip switch that posts your external IP.

Is it -ip <IPHERE> or +ip <IPHERE>?

[the.programmer]

it's +ip

[MM983]

Ok, I changed the switch to +ip.

Now when I execute the batch file I get this error message..

"Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port."


I tried a few different ports using +ip, same error.

I switch it back to -ip and it works fine. Interesting.

maby because -ip isnt doing anything?

[the.programmer]

hmm, you may be right, because mine does the same thing, so i do it without the batch file, and the server works great!

70.241.117.220:27015

me and some other steampowered forum goers are playin in there :P come join :D

I run a 10 man server and I don't have either of the +ip or the -ip in the shortcut, i just have -port 27015 to anything about my IP or ports.

C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /c START /AboveNormal C:\CSS\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -port 27015 -maxplayers 10 +map de_dust -pingbooster 1

This is exactaly what mine is, and works just dandy.

Something extra not related to post:
The /c START /AboveNormal forces the source server to abovenormal priority so its a little more stable. You could change it to /high, /realtime, /low, or any of the other prioritys.
