Hey Guys ,
I know I have asked this like five times, but I still need help !! Keep in mind that i am a 13 year old and has no experience in server making ! What i need help on is this : Install it manually
Now go back to your hldsupdatetool you originally downloaded. Right click it and click 'Create Shortcut'. Now right click the shortcut file you just created, click 'Properties'. In the 'Target' box, enter the following command after the location, *leave a space between the location and the command*. This will update your server when it needs updating.
Command(s):
-command update -game garrysmod -dir C:\srcds
You might want to go and grab a cup of tea at this point, maybe go for a jog.

and this : Starting srcds
First edit (or create) c:\srcds\orangebox\garrysmod\cfg\server.cfg like you want it to be. In this file, you can put rcon passwords, server passwords, sandbox settings, etc. Now we are ready to run the srcds. We can create another little batch file to do all this for us.
@echo off
cd c:\srcds/orangebox
echo Starting game server.
echo Beginning "Garry's Mod"
srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 16
echo "Garry's Mod" has now started.
echo It is recommended that you start Server Crash Recovery aswell.
Your srcds should now be up and running.

If you want to use the GUI mode, with the interface do not add any options to it. (just srcds.exe)
Also, if you scroll to the top of the SRCDS console you'll see a bar telling you the Basic information about your server.

Note that this will start the server at the default port, 27015. If you want to run multiple servers, either on a single machine or on multiple machines that share a single IP address, you have to set a different port number. Experimentation has shown that ports spaced about 20 apart will work, so a second server could be started with a slightly different batch file.
@echo off
cd c:\srcds/orangebox
echo Starting game server.
echo Beginning "Garry's Mod"
srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -port 27035 +map gm_construct +maxplayers 16
echo "Garry's Mod" has now started.
echo It is recommended that you start Server Crash Recovery aswell.
This would start a server on the construct map at port 27035. To connect to this server, assuming the server itself is at 192.168.0.101, you would enter
192.168.0.101:27035
as the address of the server to connect to.

If you have any advice to tell me an in def way to set it up please tell me. AND PLEASE BE NICE !!! I was banned bcause i "do not learn"!!! THANKS :)
I am thirteen and I figured out the server crap on my first try.
First of all, what? You are explaining how you made the server, what is your problem with the server. This post is very hard to read. Also, looks like you haven't port forwarded yet.
When I was twelve I set up my first server, that was a World of Warcraft private server.
If you are from USA, I feel bad for you bro. You should go to english classes more often, even though I might not be the right person to say this, since I learned english from RuneScape.
With that being said...........
....Difficult to read.

I think this thread should be closed. I'm 13 and learned how to do this aswell. Of course SRCDS has to be downloaded!
Every body here is thirteen and knows how to make a server. Great.
I downloaded hldsl update tool. is it the same thing ?

hey guys,
When I try to run it on the start menu, windows says " Windows cannot find 'c:\srcds\srcds.exe, make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. " I followed the link from chessnut but i always get that problem please help me !!!
Because you need to add parameters.
how do you install srcds ?
You download hldsupdatetool, you can't install srcds. It means: (s)ou(rc)e (d)edicated (s)erver
This is an executable which allows you to host a server.
The executable is powered by a shortcut, with added paramaters.
Possible paramaters could be: "-game <enter game (ie. garrysmod)>", "-port <port (ie. 27015)>" and go on.
why do people still use a bat file for starting their servers?

I was 9 when I hosted a gold-source server, included was the horribly outdated equipment, ridiculous work arounds, and the thousands of tutorials who relied on images and videos that were taken down a millennium ago.
Thank god those days are over.
i need help for making the shortcut. it tells me to make a shortcut for hldsl and enter this in the target zone "-command update -game garrysmod -dir C:\srcds" but it keeps saying:
"the name"-command" inside the target box is not valid, make sure the path and file name are correct"
please help
