Server Setup

[wickit]

Beta 1 only supports windows at this time.
For information on how to setup srcds on linux, you will need to use WINE and i suggest you use the garrys mod guide found here
http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Dedicated_Server_Setup

First get your server installed with the 'orangebox'

NOTE: instrustions have been taken from here( http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?suba ... 1097362093)
and changes made to reflect WWI Source

1) Getting started with HLDSUpdatetool
First of all download hldsupdatetool from the VALVe webserver (http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.exe). 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

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 "orangebox" -dir C:\srcds
Go get yourself a cup of coffee.

once installed you need to copy/install the WWI Source game files inside you orangebox folder
The folder must be called 'WWI_Source' as per the client install or you will not be able to connect.

3) Starting srcds

First edit (or create) c:\srcds\orangebox\WWI_Source\cfg\server.cfg like you want it to be. Now we are ready to run the srcds.
Click Start, Run, type in the box there:
c:\srcds\srcds.exe -game WWI_Source -console +ip (yourip) -port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +exec server.cfg +map ww_Passchendaele -preload
and press enter.

If you want to use the GUI mode, with the interface do not add any options to it. (just srcds.exe)

My GSP is having a problem setting me up a server. They are adding that command line but the server isn't loading, it's inside the orangebox folder as it should, named exactly the same.

[wickit]

Who is your server provider
i see a new server running from UKGAME.com
is that them ?

Okay, they fixed the server and it's up - 89.145.94.23:27015

I run the 27th Jager Battalion server, but don't know how to get a plugin for realisms/last man standing, could anyone help by any chance?

The current realism plugin on the 3rd MD is a script designed specifically for WW1 Source. As well as the medic plugin found on these forums we released a long time ago.

Basically you need to have SM and MM installed on your server (windows versions). However, instability runs rampant because its a windows version and Sourcemod makes admin difficult in this game. Many admin options do not work, so in our version we disabled everything except kick and ban but have it so we can run the realism scripts.

Like I said on my forums, if you guys get SM and MM up Ill take the time to collect and zip the plugin to send you. But it involves updating and monthly tests. So no offense, I dont want to be put in a situation where I have to worry about two servers. So basically, I know its tough at first, but please try to experiment with your server and get to understand how to run the ubber admin. Just know though like I said, SM causes instability on the server. Random crashes, people getting dropped, etc. Until a linux version theres not anything else we can do for stability.

So for starters, I would have your units lead server admin start with adding SourceMod and MetaMod to your server and then to experiment or learn about plgins and scripts on the sourcemods main website then come to me for the script.

We are only giving the script out to units of WW1 Source who have a proven record and love of the game. The 27th 100% fits this bill.

Ok, thanks, I do have SM and MM installed on the server already accually.
