LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Okay, It may be because I'm tired, it's late and my brain isn't working or something isn't right. I install a Garry's mod server, and everything goes perfectly, It says the server is running up until I click More Info and see that it is not responding. This is also the case when I come to test it in Steam. My config is attached for Gmod, and below you will find a screenshot of the installation location. I have also attached my default server.cfg below: "ServerSettings" { "hostname" "My Server's Name!" "sv_lan" "0" "sbox_allownpcs" "1" "sbox_maxprops" "100" "sbox_maxragdolls" "2" "sbox_maxnpcs" "0" "sbox_maxballoons" "10" "sbox_maxeffects" "50" "sbox_maxdynamite" "5" "sbox_maxlamps" "5" "sbox_maxthrusters" "20" "sbox_maxwheels" "20" "sbox_godmode" "0" "sbox_plpldamage" "1" "sbox_playergod" "0" "sbox_noclip" "1" "sbox_maxhoverballs" "20" "sbox_maxvehicles" "3" "sbox_maxbuttons" "20" "sbox_maxsents" "20" "sbox_maxemitters" "5" "sbox_maxspawners" "3" "sbox_maxturrets" "2" } I just don't understand, so if someone could shed some light then it would be greatly appreciated.Half-Life 2 - Garry's Mod.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosit1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Numero uno: Copy and paste the contents from the server console into here Numero dos: Replace: <RELATIVEWORKINGDIRECTORY>/</RELATIVEWORKINGDIRECTORY> <RELATIVEUSERFILES>/</RELATIVEUSERFILES> <RELATIVEWORKINGDIRECTORY>orangebox/</RELATIVEWORKINGDIRECTORY> <RELATIVEUSERFILES>orangebox/garrysmod</RELATIVEUSERFILES> Your server.cfg is the least of your problems. It contains no errors (you can remove sv_lan 0 since this isn't a listen server). I'll add some more to it if I see anything else wrong. And I assume you're running the server in "Interact with desktop" for the time being? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosit1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm looking for the output from the gmod server console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Where would I go about finding this? Sorry for the stupid question - Im new to TCAdmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosit1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 From the server console, not sure how to explain it. It'll be the window named after your hostname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Still not sure where to look. Is this in remote desktop or TCAdmin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosit1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 In remote desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 The servers run as services in the background. I don't have a window open for each server running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosit1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 ...And I assume you're running the server in "Interact with desktop" for the time being? I asked above if you were running it in 'Interact with Desktop' setting, but you didn't answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes I am, but nothing is up in a window on the server at all like you mentioned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 His directory structure is all messed up, he needs to fix that before the game will run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 To be honest, I think I just might do a fresh install of Gmod on the master server. Ity saves messing around - unless anyone has an easy feasible answer on how to solve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosit1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'd go ahead an reinstall the files. Also, when you put a server into 'Interact with desktop' mode, in order to see it you need to connect from a console session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisBeechey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Anyone have any idea? We have people who are wanting some gmod servers with us which is why i'm rushing things a bit (sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeggle Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That oversized picture really was not needed, a simple I can't query the game in tcadmin would suffice Yes tcadmin is able to query gmod, it currently uses halflife2 query. If that is what your config is setup with then you need to conduct troubleshooting 101 1. Is the server actually running? TcAdmin says it is running because it started the service, not because the service started the application. a. Can you query it with other programs? b. Do you see it running on the desktop? i. If you see it on the desktop did it run the whole way through starting. For GMOD last lines should be contacting master server and vac secured (unless vac is turned off) you should also have a status bar at the top (1st line) with player slots, and map if status didn’t fill out like no map is listed server didn’t really start and you need to review you server config, startup line, file, and addons. 2. If the server is running you have a firewall issue, make sure your ports are open. 3. If server isn’t running then review you servers config, startline, files, addons, ect.. You should be able to run the game from a .bat file. If this works and only tcadmin doesn’t work and it is not a firewall issue as stated above tcadmin really won’t run the game that runs fine with a bat file then put in a support ticket. From time to time the services don’t create correctly for some reason, I have had it happen twice. Louis always has it fixed in a jiffy though. Maybe one of these days he’ll share his little secret on that so I don’t have to bug him when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeggle Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Server is hanging on loading, notice status bar has no map name. Double check your map name in your start line Try loading a different start map Try simplifing server host name some characters cause problems Verify all values in server.cfg have start and end quotes, seen this one countless times. Is it a plain vanilla server, some addons can messup during load and look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
