its the game, I recommend you to get some info about it before considering to host it else you won't be able to answer your customer tickets.

give this a try, edited from my original config so edit to ur needs DefenceAlliance2.txt

its same config as for KF since its a KF mod , just adapt the cmd line for DA2, easy as 1+1 = 2. edit : fyi server files have been available for weeks if not months already.

it does not altho check the followibng trick to get it working : http://clientforums.tcadmin.com/showthread.php?t=5318&highlight=murmur

does some1 have a link to dl the files? the ones I found are dead, else i will just contact developers Would like to make a few tests before purchasing the game if i decide to host it (cuz it seems to be the only solution to then keep up to date server files)?

thats a common idea that running a GSP is about playing games. In fact its the total opposite. Since I started as a GSP I got no time to play anymore. And the skills required to do the job are definitely not Counter Strike aiming skills unlike some ppl seem to believe. If you think GSP is an easy job sitting behind your PC playing and getting paid for it you are SO wrong. Was earning more and working less when I was in McDonald's.

amen to that I have known sum1 who tried to start a GSP the same way, I started helping but he didnt know anything and was taking too much of my time so I started "working for him", basically he was paying me to make interventions, add new stuffs, from times to times. After 1 month I figured out his business was illegal after some weird comments he made about TS licences and stopped helping (I was literally doing all the support/setup job). The company closed 15 days later taking customers money. Fortunately he had not much yet. When you start a business such as a GSP you gota be able to manage it by yourself and if you succeed and grow then you can hie ppl to get helped but no way you can succeed if your not able to drive the boat when ur on ur own. Ppl helping him now are in fact contributing to his failure later.

I personaly dont even take in account the honor stuff, Im just saying the kind of person who is running/plan to run a GSP without bothering searching some stuffs by himself, and wait to get spoon fed (even offering money for it) about every single step he gota make doesnt deserve to be helped cuz he will just fail anyway and give a bad name to the profession by being unable to answer a single support ticket. Note that he was already redirected to the KB articles and instead of posting here he should be running tests on his machine so he wouldnt have to pay sum1 else to do it. This is just my opinion, I might be wrong and I dont care at all if you help him or not, you commented my reaction so I just replied, theres nothing personal.

unblocked you finally Credit my paypal with $100 and I will give you a priceless advice : Read the full TCA KB Browse the forums and read as many posts as you can For each game you plan to host run hours of tests and try to create at least 1 game config from scratch to make sure you understand how this work For each game hosted read gamers forums, server sections and keep up to date. Oeps gave you the tips already, lost my $

If I learnt 1 thing from my business school time thats how to sell ice to eskimos ty

ppl who request help about every single step they gota make and wana get spoon fed are just giving GSP's a bad name, cant imagine how this guy will manage to answer his customers support tickets. this is not personal, this is facts. and hes not planning to start a GSP, he actually owns one. Good luck with him you are the one who will need " a lot of spare time" to help him. Thx for caring about me, yes I managed to free a lot of my support time automating 90% of the tasks, click on my sig I will be happy to help you to free some of yours to spend it with brett

sry that I dont wana help wanabe GSP asking questions about everything not to mention his obvious illegal business but i dont wana bother start a debate , this is my personal choice.

how can you "ignore" some1's messages and posts. Would like to block this kind of ppl to not help them by accident.I know its doable will keep searching in options. just figured out : clicked on his name > view public profile > user lists > add to ignore list

affirmative but you just had to try to know it

hi, please*

then correct the cmd line mistake and should be fine

fps booster in background and +fps_max 0 in cmd line. No offence but I dont recommend you to host CSS if you dont know such a basic thing and cant spell the command line arguments, you will only get into troubles you wont be able to get out alone which will give you a very poor image and most likely make your customers unhappy and complaining. If your not a GSP ignore my comment which is again not personal

When im in Remote Desktop Session I cant see it interacting altho when connected via a Kvm it does interact (im under win 2k3). edit : by "it" i meant game servers ranby TCA in general since I dont host that particular game

and u tried interact with desktop? Edit : did u have a look at hacked files? Hackers use to make no steam versions, that may solve the server issue but implicates usage of "illegal" files so idk, just giving the idea, im not hosting this game anyway.

so u were not joking huh? if ur a gsp do u get some infos about the games you host actually? If ur not a GSP but a lfd player then you should already know that you can get only 4 players in coop and 8 in versus. Tip : the answer to your first question is in this post

lol if thats a joke LOL if ur a gsp google if thats not a joke

wahtever works but i recommend quotes for pass with spaces

doesnt crash the server actually, it just changes the query or something like that making the server invisible for both TCA and HLSW altho the server is still working and u can even still send it rcon commadns via HLSW. its like if setting a password was making it invisible.

with or without quotes = same result. Problem is not about quotes its about game query changing when passworded
