Anyone know anything about srcds.exe? (Source dedicated server)

Asked by superjuicebox (383points) April 25th, 2010

I’m trying to start my own dedicated server for CS:S but i am having difficulties. I downloaded and updated the standalone dedicated server software (hldsupdatetool.exe) and had no problems with that ( i ran : hlsupdatetool.exe -command -update -game “counter-strike source” -dir “exampledir/example” ). After this srcds.exe is located in my directory, but it won’t start no matter what i do. I’ve looked around in forums, but there isn’t any help on this issue. I’ve tried to start it with the cmd prompt, with a shortcut, from its main .exe path, and with parameters but simply nothing happens. I’m running windows 7×64, i turned my firewall off too when i was trying to turn it on because i thought it may have been that. I also have the .cfg files correctly made. Can anyone help ?

p.s. i will not use the tools version of dedicated server(GUI version) thats not what i’m looking for.
