Windows Dedicated Server Install Guide

here ya go, wrote this up real quick..


Windows FF dedicated server install

Download the Windows HLDS Update Tool
Install the hldsupdatetool
Run the following command at a dos prompt or run box:

c:\path\to\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game hl2mp -dir c:\path\to\install

Download the fortress forever windows server package
Unzip the fortressforever.zip to the root folder of the new game server
Make a shortcut to the srcds.exe
Edit it and add the following line

-console -game FortressForever +ip x.x.x.x -port 27015 +maxplayers 20 +exec server.cfg +map ff_well

You can also add the following switches to the end of the line if you desire:

 -tickrate 33 +fps_max 250

FF is not currently optimized to run on a boosted server. Do not use a higher setting than 33 until FF team says it is safe. Some people have said 66 works but I have not confirmed.

THANK YOU kind sir!!!

Thanks!

thanks kevin =)

Kevin,

Followed those instructions exactly, but still getting errors like this when loading maps....Any ideas?

I have tha same peoblem on my server.
He gives the same errors.

And when i want to join the server, then i can choose between the red or blue team.
But when normally the screen for the classes need to pop up, then i cant see it and its crashing.
I have this server on my server at home. I play this game with my norml desktop.

What can we do about this problem??

Grtz. JvanW

p.s. Thnx for topic of setting up the server.
