Getting HLDS Standalone Server

Posted by KASHIF ANSARI Labels:

Our first step is to get a HLDS standalone server from steam, its very easy as you have downloaded the hldsupdatetool.exe, just install the application. The screen shots are as given below.










Once the application is installed press windows and R key together that will open run window. Like one shown below.









now browse to the hldsupdatetool.exe which is in the "C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe".


then add the these command " -command update -game cstrike -dir . "


The whole thing in the run window will look like this


"C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe" -command update -game cstrike -dir .





Now just press enter and a Dos-window will open and let it complete actually that Dos-window is downloading the latest server from steam so let it complete if you close it you have to start again ... (not really it supports resume :) ) the screen shot is below.

Once a download complete congrats you now own a dedicated server. So there are two thing you can do either start your server and start playing on a very laggy untweak server or give some more time tweaking it and play on a nice lag free server.

Non Steam:

Guys the server you have now is a steam server and will only allow user having steam account to play on it and kick the rest so to make your server non steam you have to apply the patch i told you all to download in the requirement blog. So if you don't have it then please download it. All you have to do is to extract it and copy and paste in the server directory. This patch will allow no steam client to play on your server.
