what should be in my srcds_1 dir?

[MCFuryNZ]

I ran the update again and it went through and checked everything in my srcds_1 dir, but i still think i'm missing something? srcds_run, etc should be there too, correct?

I have in my srcds_1 dir:
cstrike
hl2
InstallRecord.blob
reslists
steam

Could somebody possibly send me my missing files, or tell me why they aren't downloading when i run the update command and it goes through and verifies files, etc (seems like its working)...

So obviously the server won't start because I don't have the srcds files....

Seems like the same problem as the guy here:

http://server.counter-strike.net/forums/printthread.php?threadid=33999

Also, is my folder supposed to be friggen 2.5 gigs? That took like 8 hours for my server to download....

Thanks!!!

[MCFuryNZ]

Ok, well I deleted my ClientRegistry.blob and ran the update, and now i've got all the files I need... but the server still wont run.


Running the update says my HLDS installation is up to date.

Wasn't the latest steam srcds update supposed to make it work with older Glibc versions?

[MCFuryNZ]

I know my Glibc version isn't up to what's reccomended, and i get this error:

I have no idea what to do....

using:
./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 12 -debug


And if I stick my username and password on the command line, i get

Waht version of glibc do you have?

[MCFuryNZ]

2.2.4-32.17


Would all of these errors and messages and failures be because of this older version?


Thanks

The Forums at www.srcds.com might be able to help. They are geared towards Dedicated Server issues.

[MCFuryNZ]

Is anybody certain that an older version of Glibc will interfere with starting the server?


Thanks

[MCFuryNZ]

I put the dedicated server stuff on a laptop running glib 2.3.2 and everything appears better....except:

According to steam and gametiger, the server isn't up, although there is a process running taking ~33% of the CPU up (srcds_i486 blah blah stuff)

When i add the +ip stuff, it doesnt go that far... just said unable to do something with a UDP port and IP address unable to be set or something like that, and it retries every 10 seconds.


Thanks for the help guys, just gotta get past this last bit.

[rusty4x4]

Forget the +IP or -IP, I don't think it works at the moment.

Seeing the 255.255.255.255 values for the IP address is strange, so go to your /etc/hosts file and set your local (not internet) IP address as follows:

192.168.0.X localhost

This presumes you have 192.168.0.X and port 27015 port-forwarded through your router.

As for finding your game in the Steam browser, I've had mixed results with 2 types of routers I've used. One (D-Link DI-604) showed the LAN and net game listed, the other (NetGear RP-614) only shows the LAN game, but the net game *is* seen by internet players. One router may be more permissive than the other, I guess.

Hope this helps.

Ok thanks for the help rusty.... i managed to get it working under my own power pretty much, after that last update by me, i forwarded more ports (ive got like 5 ports forwarded now because some srcds setup guide said so)....

Too bad the server is currently running under 300mhz of pure pentium 2 fury and 192mb ram.


Lastly, i'm having a problem with admin stuff. I'm using SAP, where i put admin_users into the server.cfg. When i first start the server, everything works properly, but when i change maps, the admins are no longer recognized, as if server.cfg did not reload properly after the map change.


Any ideas?

Thanks

[rusty4x4]

Glad to help, but I'm afraid SAP is new to me too. Also, I'm not sure I'm ready to adopt a 3rd party server manager yet, considering what Steam tends to do to 3rd party apps, server-side or otherwise.

The only thread I could find from the SAP site regarding admin levels is here...

http://www.thelostsite.co.uk/Admin_Text.html

But I'm sure you've probably seen that. One other thing, I keep server.cfg in 2 places: under the cfg directory and the game level directory (e.g., cstrike). Maybe that will help ensure server.cfg is loaded correctly. Worth a try.

[MCFuryNZ]

Ah, i'll definitely give that a try, within the next few minutes.
