Anyone else have listing problems?

Are you running the stock .cfg's that we give you? If you are specifying your own master servers, or running plugins that specify different ones, that would cause problems (Valve changed their IPs).

Would it be possible to get a new folder with default hldsbase contents?

But not overwrite what I currently have.? Put it in another folder i.e. hldsbase2

[WackyIraqi]

i couldnt even find the hldsbase folder when i switched to linux so i just used hldsupdatetool to download everything. only takes a few minutes with the server fast connection. try using your hldsupdate tool to manually download the games you want in a separate folder

[sungersoo]

I made a new folder hldsbase2 and copy pasted HldsUpdateTool, ran it but..
ClientRegistry
HldsUpdateTool_38.mst

Those files only showed up...

[Edge100x]

Make sure you're using the full hldsupdatetool invocation. For instance,

Code: Select all

md hldsbase
hldsupdatetool.exe -game cstrike -command update -dir hldsbase -verify_all

Where do I type those? I can't seem to make it work on cmd.exe

[Edge100x]

You'd need to type those into the cmd.exe box. Here is a full set of instructions (assuming that you've deleted the "hldsbase" folder we include by default -- if you didn't, do that first, or rename it through Explorer).

1. Go to Start->Run
2. Type "cmd.exe" and hit enter.
3. Type these commands:

Code: Select all

cd \game installs
md hldsbase
hldsupdatetool.exe -game cstrike -command update -dir hldsbase -verify_all

Is this how I update the server as well?

[Edge100x]

Minus the "md" command in there, yes, that would update your server.

[sungersoo]

When I update the hlds, do I only have to save server.cfg? Cause I realized that is different than what it should be.

[Edge100x]

I'd recommend backing up any configuration files / mapcycle files to be safe. The update is not supposed to replace them, but it has sometimes in the past.

1) Router problems
2) Filter Problems. You may have your bame-browser filters set incorrectly.
3) sv_region problem. By default sv_region is set to 255. It may not appear on any steam lists with that setting.

I found that and tried number 3, how would I do 1 and 2?

[Edge100x]

#1 and #2 are referring to the client side (they don't apply to your server here). We ruled those out by having me look for you as well.

The region setting won't cause it to not show up unless you specify a different region in your browser than the server uses. So that's client-side as well.

I'm really getting frustrated, I even reformatted the VDS thinking I had something to do with it. And nothing. My server is not showing on the master server list and I have no idea what to do...

[WackyIraqi]

i have had a problem like this aswell. make sure you set your ip in your command line, as well as port. if it doesnt say at the end the something about being VAC enabled, your server wont show
