It sounds like the executable file may be missing. Could you run a Steam update to check the install?

Generally you would do this with:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/steam
./steam -game czero -dir hldsbase -command update -verify_all

newforce ~ # chrt -r ./hlds_run -game czero +ip 66.150.214.247 +maxplayers 32 -pingboost 3
sched_setscheduler: Invalid argument
failed to set pid 0's policy

This just happened because you forgot the number after "chrt -r"

thanks ill try that. also is there a way to get ftp? after i changed to linx i have no lonk in the control panel for it.?

I'd recommend skipping FTP and just using SCP or SFTP if you need to transfer files to or from your server, using a client such as WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php.

If you would prefer FTP, I would recommend installing vsftpd: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Vsftpd. However, keep in mind that FTP, unlike SCP/SFTP, is insecure, so you shouldn't use it to transfer anything sensitive.

just maps and cfg files
thanks for all your help

Nod. For just about everything, SCP/SFTP should work best (and the WinSCP client makes them behave the same as FTP, so you won't be able to tell the difference when working with them).

The only purpose I would recommend for FTP would be to expose the files to others, if you wish to restrict their access or give them something they are more comfortable with.

understood. man i hear people take about linx alot and have never messed with it.
what a headache not knowing whats going on.. hope this linx is as good as i hear.

also i get the same
-bash: hlds: no such file or directory
even after i did the
./steam -game czero -dir hldsbase -command update -verify_all
and it did load all the file for a server.

Could you type "ls" in the /usr/steam/hldsbase folder and post what it says?

The hlds_run script should actually be trying to run "hlds_i686", so it's strange that it would complain about "hlds" missing. I have not witnessed this problem before on fresh test installs.

Also, "./hlds_run" is all one word the way you're typing it, correct?

newforce ~ # /usr/steam/hldsbase
-bash: /usr/steam/hldsbase: is a directory
newforce ~ # /usr/steam/hldsbase is
-bash: /usr/steam/hldsbase: is a directory
newforce ~ # ./hlds_run
-bash: ./hlds_run: No such file or directory
newforce ~ # /usr/steam/hldsbase
-bash: /usr/steam/hldsbase: is a directory
newforce ~ # /usr/steam/hldsbase ls
-bash: /usr/steam/hldsbase: is a directory
newforce ~ # ls
newforce ~ #


not sure how to "type in the folder"
this is copied and pasted

newforce ~ # cd /usr/steam
newforce steam # chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game czero +ip 66.150.214.247 +maxplayers 32 -pingboost 3
execvp: No such file or directory
failed to execute ./hlds_run
newforce steam # ./hlds_run

newforce steam # ./steam -game czero -dir hldsbase -command update -verify_all

It sounds like you're just running HL from the wrong folder, then. You need to execute the line starting with "chrt" from /usr/steam/hldsbase, so just do this first:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/steam/hldsbase

Linux has a steep learning curve, especially if you haven't used the command line on Windows before. It might be a good idea to learn the basics from a book, if you'd like to continue with Linux.

Windows typically runs game servers just as well, or better than, Linux. If you'd prefer to get servers up right away, I'd recommend switching to that platform.
