REQUEST: hltv?

[AvailNetworks]

is there anything on administering HLTV. I setup a cs server but now I have no idea on how to do hltv...anyone have a good spot for me to look or a config file or somethin?

 

 

 

thanks,

HLTV config generally (used for a certain league so must be a good en )

 

 

 

http://www.tfleague.com/files/configs/tflhltv.cfg <- googlised

[ECF]

Easiest way is to create a manual service for HLTV. Simply point it to the hltv.exe file. Then edit the hltv.cfg file and add a line such as this.

 

 

 

connect xx.xx.xx.xx:ppppp

 

 

 

Where x =ip and p=port

 

 

 

Then assign it to the user that has that server.

[AvailNetworks]

ahhhh that makes sense. that is what I figured I would do but I didnt know if there was a way to do something through the control panel.....another silly ? I have is how do I setup rcon or is it already setup through the control panel?

 

 

 

thanks again,

 

Reed

 

 

 

forgive the noobish questions but I have about 8 minutes experience with counter strik anything

[ECF]

Counterstrike has in-game rcon via the game console, and TCAdmin has built in support which allows clients to run rcon commands via their control panel.

 

 

 

As long as you have the proper game compatibility set for the game, the panel will handle that. Users can access the rcon from their panel by logging in and clicking on their CS server and then on the System Status icon. Rcon is at the very top.

 

 

 

If you downloaded the config file from here, it will also include the kick and ban feature on the same page. Clients can kick and/or ban by clicking the link next to a players name in the status link.

There seems to be no game compatibility for HLTV. While RCON does work, it always returns "No results were returned."

 

 

 

An HLTV compatibility mode should be pretty easy I'd think. Get the game status from the "status" command. Return the list of spectators from the "clients" command.

 

 

 

It works now, just would be nice to get the proper returned result and not have that AMX editor on an HLTV config.

I'm having trouble getting it to work. Can I see what command line you fed it ?

[ECF]

No command line. Simply call the hltv.exe file and make sure the hltv.cfg has the proper config info in it.

[maximum6]

hmm...heres what I did.

 

 

 

New Service

 

 

 

Game type HLTV

 

Slots 3

 

server ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

ports 27016

 

application (where username is my user's username )

 

C:/UserFiles/username/GameServers/TC27422077384710020636733/ hltv.exe

 

all the other directories C:/UserFiles/username/GameServers/TC27422077384710020636733/

 

additional arguments was left blank

 

 

 

left everything else to default

 

selected the user

 

 

 

it says its running, but I can't get on the server. to test it, I just ran the hltv.exe myself using VNC, and it worked fine, but why wont it when i run it as a service?

 

 

[ECF]

I know it runs as a service unless ther is something weird with your server (which I doubt).

 

 

 

Best way to check it is to set the service to interact with the desktop in the service settings for that HLTV server. Start it and log in with VNC and check the console for the error.

[BBryant]

Any chance of that HLTV compatibility mode, ECF?

[ECF]

It will be in the next version. I honestly have setup HLTV and it works fine for me. You simply create a gametype called HLTV or download the config here. And create a manual service and point it to the HLTV.exe file within the clients game server folder. Edit the hltv.cfg file and put a line that says:

 

connect xx.xx.xx.xx:ppppp

 

 

 

Where x=ip and p=port

 

 

 

Then the client can change what ever they like, such as game name etc in the cfg file.

 

 

 

Are you guys remembering to edit the hltv.cfg file?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[BBryant]

Oh I do too, I'm just picky and want web-based RCON without an AMX editor

[ECF]

Ahhhhh, I will check and see if HLTV commands are consistent with HL's. If they are it's just a matter of removing the AMX link.

[BBryant]

Well, that and it doesn't return anything when you send a command. But the command executes.

[ECF]

Probably the structure is a little different in the queries.

[DanCF]

I am trying to create an HLTV service, but I am getting this error.

 

 

 

The database has been updated but there was an error updating the service: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

 

 

 

Does the hltv.exe require an "exec hltv.cfg" or does it do it automatically.

 

 

 

also is there any way to set up the query so it will show the status, instead of unknown.

[ECF]

That error means you have an incorrect path specified in the Executable path or the working directory within TCAdmin, for that service. It is not a config error.

[DanCF]

Well the paths appear to be correct. I set them all by browse. The application is set to hltv.ece, and the working,game root, and user files directory are set to the folder that hltv is in.

[ECF]

I would put in a ticket we can take a look at it for you.
