Windows Server Install Guide

Since HL2 is now using Source 2009, due to OS X, you can no longer use -game "hl2mp" to install the server, you must use "episode1". Other than that, nothing as really changed, but for since the other guide is out dated, I'll remake it.

First, you will need the HLDSToolUpdate, which can be downloaded by clicking on the link.

Next, install HLDSToolUpdate. After it has been installed, launch CMD.

For those who are using a 64bit Machine, you will have to use this path to run the toolupdate.

64bit
Quote:
"c:/Program Files <x86>/Valve/HLserver/hldsupdatetool.exe - command update -game "episode1" -dir c:/yourserverpath"
32bit
Quote:
"c:/Program Files/Valve/HLserver/hldsupdatetool.exe - command update -game "episode1" -dir c:/yourserverpath"
Once everything is downloaded, unpackage the FF Server file you have downloaded, which are located at : here.

unpackage that file into the root folder of the server. So c:/yourserverpath.

The next step isn't the best step, but it'll show that your server is indeed running correctly and is ready to be used.

make a shortcut to c:/yourserverpath/srcds.exe, and add to the shortcut target
Quote:
-console -game FortressForever +ip x.x.x.x -port 27015 +maxplayers 20 +exec server.cfg +map ff_well -tickrate 66
x.x.x.x is your Server IP Address

I don't find this to be the best way, so I use HLSM; a server monitor.

I like to be organized when I install new Services, so i have placed mine in c:/hlsm.

Once that is done, run the program, and go to File and Install Service.
What this does is, in case the whole computer crashes, it'll automatic reboot the service.

Next, right click in the Server List white area and click on New Server.

You shall see Server Name, Priority Executable File and Run Parameters.

Name the server what you want, find srcds.exe for the Executable File, and in
Run Parameters add in

Quote:
-console -game FortressForever +ip x.x.x.x -port 27015 +maxplayers 20 +exec server.cfg +map ff_well -tickrate 66
x.x.x.x is your Server IP Address

I'll add screen shots later on.

It's best not to use an -IP unless your server has multiple NICs.
