[Tutorial] Installing SDS (Source Dedicated Server)
« on: January 14, 2011, 07:52:34 PM »
Programs that we need ~> HLDS Update Tool: http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.exe

1. Once you have downloaded the HLDS, install it, but pay attention to the installation. You'll arrive at a stage in which the installation program will show you the directory where it will be installed. Please make a note of where it is installed, we will need the directory later. If you want to modify the directory is OK, since you know where to find it later.

2. Go to the directory where you installed the file. It'll probably be like this:

3. Now right click on the executable that is named as HldsUpdatetool and then click "Create Shortcut. " Then right click and select "properties". Will appear something like:

4. Pay close attention, this is where most mistakes are bound to occur! In the bar where it says "destiny", hit space once and put this command -command update-game "Counter-Strike Source"-dir C: \srcds. .(have to put the point). With this command, so you click the shortcut it will download the server to a folder called "srcds" located in C, so if your hard drive is not called C: change directory. So I left it in red. And I do not think I need to talk you have to create a folder called C srcds which is where the program will download the server, because otherwise it will appear an error when you start downloading. After applying the command, click Apply and OK.

5. If you did nothing wrong, when you click the shortcut will appear as something below. You will now start downloading, start the download when you have time because they are G 2 and by my experience you can not continue where it left off.

6. When finished downloading go to the folder you created beforestarting the download and will have something as shown below (notexactly that way, because I made some changes here on my but rest assured, if you came to 100 percent in the download is all right) then go to the folder Orangebox.

7. In the Orange Box will have something (not exactly like that because I made some changes here on my but rest assured if you come to100 percent in the download is all right), inside the folder will have an executable named for srcds. Click it and make sure that the dedicated open. If not open, go to step 8.

8. Ok, if it did not work, create a shortcut and then click srcds right and go to properties and then immediately go on the destination box, a space and type (or copy and paste) -game cstrike + maxplayers 20+ map de_dust2 + mp_dynamicpricing tickrate 0-100 + 999fps_max . (have to put the point) click apply and press ok. Then click the shortcut. If it succeeds, will open the dedicated (see photo). If you did not open anything wrong.

To be honest just using the "Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server" on Steam is the easiest way now :D!

Basically you re-do step 4. Note that you don't need to do a new shortcut, just run the old one if it still has the same directory as before. So, you see that you set the first argument there "-command update" which really means that it also updates your server.

So basically just re-run your installing shortcut and it should find a update. You probably should run it several times to make sure everything installed properly. The installation command prompt will shut itself down when it's done.
