Hey guys,
I am making a dedicated server for windows and I am having problems. Here is what I have done, I have made srcds file on c:\srcds, I made the orange box, hl2, and server extra addons file. Also I have made server_download batch file, and the garrysmod file with server.cfg, and hldsl update tool with the shortcut with the target box set to: -command update -game garrysmod -dir C:\srcds. What I need help on is that I dont know how to start up srcds, here is how gmod wiki explains it : "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."
please help me !!
Well, try to get your head around this, as I understand why people haven't replied, that or this post is new :3.
1) Open notepad
2) Paste the code from the wiki in
3) Save the file as "start.bat" (including speech marks), in your srcds folder (C:\srcds)
4) Double click the file to start your server
5) Have a mess with the batch file to tweak your server settings
do I have to have gmod running ? oh and whenever i double click the start.bat, it opens then closes. Is that bad. And when I run it on cmd, it says "srcds.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable, or batch command" Is it supposed to say that ? Is the srcds supposed to open up ?
Just go to C:/srcds/orangebox, right click on srcds.exe, make a shortcut, then drag it to your desktop.
Then on your desktop, right click on the shortcut you just made, click Properties, then where it says Target, replace it with this:
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -port 27015 +map gm_construct +sv_defaultgamemode sandbox +maxplayers 16 +fps_max 800
Click apply, and you're done. Just double click that shortcut and your server should start up.
