Yeah, I located all the ones i needed bar the source 2007 named GCF files which I dont appear to have.

Thanks. The instructions are very poor. Having searched for some of the GCF files it appears I dont have a copy of them.

The HLDSUpdateTool does not supply the required HL2 files. The documentation states that you need to extract them from steam cache files. Also, is this a 10 slot maximum mod? I cannot take it beyond 10 slots.

What is the easiest way to acquire the HL2 files required for the server to work? I did it the long way and it sucked.

thanks.

Can you have more than one server running using the validation key?

According to this: http://wiki.unrealadmin.org/UT3_query_protocol It is possible to set the query port using the config. Anyone done this yet?

I have the files, just need the TCAdmin config for it. Never played the game so have no idea on what command line is needed etc.

thanks for the information but i cant even get the basic server files and patch to work. Cant understand what the problem is as i have used all the items in this thread that have worked for everyone else.

ok, I have redownloaded the server files and also used the config made by ecf and the server is still failing to show when looking at the server status section in the control panel. It says that the server is not running. Anyone have any ideas?

The reason why it is probably not working is that i presumed the server files which i downloaded were stand alone. I am now guessing that in order for them to work i need the retail version game files as well? I have the game so obtaining the files is easy, just did not think i needed them.

I need the demo files as well as the server files? i thought i just needed the server files.

Ok, the server.log file now seems a bit more complete and appears as though the server is working but TCAdmin still says "server is not running" when looking at server status section on the server panel. Here is my server.log: And here is a copy of my demonware_server.log: Everything appears to be ok but im stumped as to why TCAdmin will not show it. Game compatability setting wrong possibly?

Thanks for the help, appreciate it. In both configs that you posted i noticed that you guys have not set the variable for si_NeedPass to %isprivate%. Does this cause problems, because this could save editing should the customer require it to be private from the word go. I only have the retail server files. The reason it tried to load the demo bit was because i took a copy of a server.cfg from the community forums of ET and it looks like it was set to load the demo, after using your config it loads properly.

Thanks, Have added both of the files above. The server is now starting fine (according to the server.log file) but TCAdmin stil says that the "server is not running" wen checking the server status link. An ideas what is causing this?
