Running a simple listen eerver
Alright so now that I have a new awesome gaming laptop, I want to run a server. I dont have any other computer to run it on and I dont have the money to buy a low end computer. I just want a simple server. So far I have forwarded the ports of 27015 to 27016 on TCP and UDP. I made an autoexec.cfg file in the game directory since its default client ports were 27005. Please help me on any other server commands I need to put in the autoexec. Thanks!

If you want to run a dedicated server, there is a process that you need to go through, outlined on our wiki here: http://www.fortress-forever.com/wiki...nstall_a_SRCDS
If you just want to run a semi-temporary server (it will go offline when you disconnect from it), open the console and type sv_lan 0 and then map <mapname>. If your ports are forwarded correctly, it will create a server that other people will be able to join (might want to make sure to take the password off, as it will probably have a default password on it to start).

Don't see why not.
P.S. it's sv_password to control the server pw, just plain password is only used when joining servers

Oh yeah. But one more thing. Every time I join and now set the password during it, it does not still show on the list. I have everything unchecked and it does not show. Do I need to put the command "ip <MY IP HERE>" in the config?

What I do to get the IP is use Steam friends to View Game Info on myself. The server browser can be a bit wonky sometimes and isn't very reliable in general. Have a friend try connecting to the IP it shows from Steam friends to see if its all working first.

listen servers have their own listenserver.config file (filename probably not correct) its not just server.cfg (thats used for dedicated servers) - just in case that helps somehow.

FortressForever/cfg/valve.rc handles a few settings for listen servers (sv_password, hostname, etc).

sorry, I should have said it doesn't exist by default, you have to create it.
