noob!



You can download the dedicated server here.
Source Dedicated Server (srcds) has a great guide on setting up a server. You can also have people join your server when you Create Server from the menu, but you'll need to forward ports and give them your real IP (ie, not 192.168.0.1), and add sv_lan 0 to you server cfg. You'll also need a lot of bandwidth to host any halfway decent server.

ok yankee i got the sever up but i cant do any commands like sv_cheat or asnything like that.

my other friend said u had to download something called mani admin plugin. i did but i dont no how to use that. sooo...if you could help me that would be kool. thx


LOL <(^^,)>

[VincentVega]

I think you'll need to run the server with +sv_cheats 1 or a similar command line parameter. Or could probably also be set or added to one of the server configs.

.......umh....so when i make a sever through steam (sdk) i become the admin of that sever when i go in. right?

[DNvCross]

well.. only if you've set it up properly.

you need to specify an RCON password, and if you want, any admin plugins (like mani or bat).
