Source Dedicated Server Installer Tutorial

How do you disable the VAC?

[farmerbill256]

@Mine2Death By default the "Run Server" program will not let you input custom command line codes (although I will be adding this to a later version). To make your server launch with VAC disabled, go into the "do_not_delete" folder located in your base folder, and right click the file named "SERVER NAME_crash_Recovery.bat" (where SERVER NAME is the name of the game followed by the Number of that server). On the line starting with "start /wait", add " -insecure" to end of that line.

@Mine2Death Additionally, you will need to launch your server from now on by opening this crash recovery file or by selecting "use previously saved settings" in the run server program.

I Love You... for creating this

[smashcooper]

So you cant close the window or else the server will be deleted?

[farmerbill256]

@smashcooper The server files are installed to your hard drive, so they wont be lost when you close the window. If you mean whether the server will stop when you close the window. Yes it will if you close the SRCDS window, however you can close the automated crash recovery program without closing the server.

How do I use my password to my server and how do I change the name of the server

[farmerbill256]

@797depo you will need to add a server.cfg in the cfg folder of your server. You can find examples online of a server.cfg for the game your looking for. Then you can edit that to change the name and password

why is it only LAN? how do i fix it?



[farmerbill256]

@Zirrcamelot2 Have you completed creating a Static IP and Port Forwarding. If you have, try to enter sv_lan 0 in your servers srcds.exe

@HellFireWolf Thnx :)

[kingdemon815]

Also, quick question, Will this automatically host itself, or does it require seperate hosting for actual online play? For say, Team fortress two. I'm working on a melee only map, and i'm planning on using this program to make a test server, nothing fancy, Will people be able to join, aswell as download server content?

[farmerbill256]

@kingdemon815 Yes it can be run on the same computer as your own. However you will need to create a static internal IP and Port Forwarding. Depending on the map size they should be able to download it via the server, if not just upload the map to a file sharing site for them to download.

You, sir, are a god among people trying to set up servers. Excellent work.

[farmerbill256]

@swampert11706 Thank you very much :) I made this for people like myself (when I had no clue how to actually setup a server) to make setting up a server very easily.
