This tutorial is on how to setup a source dedicated server for Counter strike source, wrote this because i told baron and a few others I would. IN NUMER STEPS!

1) download HLDS Update tool for windows

2) Install to directory
C:/srcds

3) Open command prompt (run > cmd) and type the following

This will set cmd to update your source dedicated server. This will take a while to update (About 800Mb worth of updates).

The server is now installed, time to run it. We could run it by a GUI but the GUI uses more memory and is less powerful. So we will run in though a command line. So to do this, we:

Copy srcds.exe and paste as a shortcut, open the properties of the shortcut and in the "Target" box type:

This will set the server to start up with the map as cs_italy and with maximum players of 20.

You can change this to fit your server with settings such as:

-console

-autoupdate

-game <game name>

+maxplayers <number of players>

+map <map name>

+port <port number>

You will need to forward ports 27015, i would explain how but it changes for every different type of router and firewall.

Sorry this was a bit messy but it’s simple and does the job. Its 2am and I can hardly write at 2pm... Any questions can be placed below.

Well im happy ^_^ this worked for me ^_^, plus forwarding the ports didnt give me to much grief ^_^, would this be relatively the same for GMod? or would it be an entirely different process all together?

Same just change the game name in update and run.

Ahh sweet as ^_^, ill try it when i get on a bloody PC XZ, thanks Hollow ^_^, now i can have some fun with a dedicated sever now ^_^
