Guest NGS-Brett Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 ECF this is what really helps people who dont know how to isntall this. 1) Getting started with HLDSUpdatetool First of all download hldsupdatetool from the VALVe webserver. We save it to a temporary location and run it. Navigate through the wizard like you are used to, which means next most of the time. When it asks you about the destination folder, click browse. Type c:\srcds in the textfield and click on OK. Finish the wizard. Now click on Start, Run and type cmd . Type in the commands mentioned here and end a line with the enter key. Command(s): C: cd \srcds hldsupdatetool The new version of HLDSUpdateTool will be downloaded now. As soon the cursor just blinks, press CTRL-C. 2) Downloading the files Now we have an account, we can start downloading the files. This can take a few hours depending on the connection the server uses. Command(s): hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir C:\srcds I need help now installing other games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGS-Brett Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 If anyone can pass along the game files for other games not steam please let me know. And where to get game mods. Thanks very appreicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Many of the non steam games require you purchase them to get the server files and hence the files are protected and it is illegal to distribute them. The ones that do have straight up dedicated server files can be found on the websites posted by Steven. If there is a specific game(s) you are having trouble with post the title(s) and the community can tell you whether there are free server files available or if you must go purchase the game and then upload your CD (or take it to the datacenter if you live by). But it is poor taste to ask on public forums for people to break the law for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGS-Brett Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 sorry, How would i install Americas Army 2.8.5 and the latest 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proclan Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 You'll need to download the deploy client to your server to get the AA files as far as 3.0 I would use steam to get the files as the deploy clients are full of bugs and basically suck when trying to update. http://www.americasarmy.com/downloads/?view=deploy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 How did you install your AA servers back in April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proclan Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 We had direct download links from Pragmatic but like I said as far as 3.0 the steam version seems to work the best after a patch is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
