Hi, I got cs 1.3 on my current red hat server, and I am trying to upgrade, I did the tar command, and it extracted all the files, yet when I run the startup script I made it still says its 1.3 and "my executable is out of date" Please help!

Thanks in Advanced,
Aaron

Try removing 1.3 first.

I already tried that... I have to just update 1.3, ive even tryed installing 1.4 full... it didnt work like this.

-Aaron-

is the tar in the correct dir? is the hl version 1.1.0.9? i'll look for a tutorial that i used and post it here when i find it.

I think it is... im tryin to install 1.4 not 1.09 ;-)

Yeah, I agree with the other poster, you probably untar the file in a wrong directory. Before untarring, you should have known where it will untar.

Do a tar tfz cs_14_upgrade.tar.gz, you will see something like:
cstrike
cstrike/sprites/
cstrike/sprites/...
.....

That means the file will untar to cstrike directory. Because cstrike directory you are trying to upgrade is inside hlds_l directory, you need to cd to hlds_l first and untar the file from that directory.


cd hlds_l
tar xzvf /full/path/to/cs_14_upgrade.tar.gz


If you had deleted the previous version (1.3), you need to reinstall it first before upgrading.

Tried that... still no luck says the s ame thing ;-) no wonder linux newbies get frustrated :-)

Sorry, but have you upgraded half life ded server to version 3.1.0.9? CS 1.4 requires hlds version 3.1.0.9.

Tried... i got the newest .bin, I extracted it to a .tar.gz, then unzipped it. still the same error :-( what can I be doing wrong!?
