How to configure a Server.cfg for HL2MP?

[Gymnae]

Hi,
I read through many posts and used the search feature, and there's this one question some have asked and wasn't answered yet.

I'm a total newbie and stuck at some points.


So I begin with the main problem.
How to configure a server.cfg file for Half Life 2 Death Match. I found some sample files, but they were for HL1 and CS or CS:Source.
My Server should run online and in LAN and must be password protected (it's a small server)

Second Problem is, I forwarded all the ports neede (according to portforward.com and the Steam Support) and when starting the server,

I get this output:
WARNING: NNET_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested address
Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port
cat: hlds.1620.pid: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
email debug.log to linux@valvesoftware.com
Fr Dez 10 20:23:23 CET 2004: Server restart in 10 seconds

The german line sais, it can't find the preceding file or folder. Whatever that means...

I start the server with this command:
./srcds_run -console -game hl2mp +map dm_overwatch +maxplayers 5 -user xxx +ip 82.83.xxx.x -password xxxx -autoupdate -debug


Thanx for your help

Does your linux machine have a iptables firewall?

service iptables stop

Hi,

I run a SusE 9.2 Linux "Server"
and I should have the Yast Firewall running, but I put it off...

the command you tiped doesn't work, and the help printed out via iptables --help
don't show the command to quit...

But it seams the service is started, as it reply to commands...


I'll the server.cfg you gave me, thanx
