I know there are older guides, but this one is updated for CS:Source and the like. Enjoy ************* HLDS Installation Walkthrough by Chris 'CArmstrong' Armstrong Operator, #hlds, GameSurge IRC Location: http://hlds.amchrisarmstrong.com/wt.txt Last Update: 10/17/2004 ************* INSTALLATION - LINUX 1) adduser hlds && passwd hlds 2) su hlds 3) cd ~ 4) wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin 5) chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin && ./hldsupdatetool.bin 5a) If you see an error about not finding /bin/uncompress type ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress && ./hldsupdatetool.bin 6) ./steam -command update -game gamename -dir ~/hlds -username yoursteamaccountgoeshere -password yourrealpasswordgoeshere 6a) Replace gamename above with cstrike for CS, tfc for TFC, dod for Day of Defeat, "counter-strike source" for CS:S (yes, you need the quotations) 7) The tool will probably update itself, and then begin downloading the files. Eat a snack or get off your behind for a bit, and take a walk. This can take awhile. INSTALLATION - WINDOWS 1) Download and install http://www.steampowered.com/download/hlds_updatetool.exe 2) Start -> Run -> cmd <Enter> (or any other way of getting a command prompt) 3) cd C:\HLServer (or whatever path you installed to) 4) hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game gamename -dir C:\HLServer -username yoursteamaccountgoeshere -password yourrealpasswordgoeshere 4a) Replace gamename above with cstrike for CS, tfc for TFC, dod for Day of Defeat, "counter-strike source" for CS:S (yes, you need the quotations) 4b) Also, if you installed to a different location than C:\HLServer, replace that above too 5) The tool will probably update itself, and then begin downloading the files. Take a break. This can take awhile. ---------- CONFIGURATION - LINUX (Half-Life 1 or its mods) In Linux, text files are usually edited using pico or nano in the following manner: pico filename nano filename For any file you need to edit here, use nano or pico followed by the entire path I give you to the file's location. 1) Edit ~/hlds/gamename/server.cfg (replace gamename with whatever you used before) ***This is where your server variables are stored. Reference the http://server.counter-strike.net config editor for easy coverage of the common ones. 2) Edit (nano or pico) ~/hlds/gamename/motd.txt (replace gamename with whatever you used before) ***This file contains the message people see when they first connect. HTML is acceptable and used by default. 3) Edit (nano or pico) ~/hlds/gamename/mapcycle.txt (replace gamename, as usual) ***This is a file containing the maps your server will play, one on each line. CONFIGURATION - LINUX (Counter-Strike Source) Same files as HL1, different locations: 1) Edit ~/hlds/cstrike/cfg/server.cfg 2) Edit ~/hlds/cstrike/motd.txt 3) Edit ~/hlds/cstrike/mapcycle.txt CONFIGURATION - WINDOWS Edit the files from the Linux section with Notepad. The files are in the same locations, just the main directory will be different (C:\HLServer instead of ~/hlds) ---------- STARTING THE SERVER - LINUX (Half-Life 1 or its mods) 1) cd ~/hlds 2) ./hlds_run -game gamename +maxplayers number +map ******* & EXAMPLE: ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust +ip 1.1.1.1 +port 27015 & ***Many more things can be specified here.
