You have missed out Half-Life Dedicated Server why? #3

Closed y0ursource closed 10 years ago

y0ursource commented 10 years ago

In the Drop down list, you have missed out Half-Life Dedicated Server why is this?

Granted it's not a game that's played much and you're going to say but half-life is single player only not multi-player right?

Well there was a completely FREE port of Half-Life Decay for the PC which is CO-OP. This needs two people to play this game. So to install the game you need to run a half-life dedicated server. Otherwise this mod is useless.

And here's the kicker! the only possible way to download the server files is via SteamCMD. In steam Tools inside the steam client, you can right click and click install via their client but the files do not download ever just time out. so it's basically broken.

The only possible way to even get these server files is by the following command.

steamcmd login anonymous force_install_dir C:\dedicated server app_update 90 validate

The first time running this command it will fail completely. So you need to run app_update 90 validate, once again streight after.

This time it will completely download all the files needed.

Counter Strike, Half-life, half-life opposing force, & all dedicated servers, appID is 90

Why on earth they force you to use this command line version of steamCMD Was right clicking "Dedicated Server" in their steam client, and pressing install to easy for us all or something?

So Now you have all the info you need, please add this into you're GUI program. Then maybe the rest of the world who stumble on Half-Life Decay can actually play the game considering someone spent years porting it from the Playstation to the PC.

Hope this helps, so hope to see it included in you're application soon.

Since beginning I avoided to add any game that use GoldSrc as engine. I'll add that for the next update. Anyways, you can install it with the app ID.

The next update can take much time, I'm having some problems...

thanks for the reply, but picking and choosing what to include seems pointless even having the application at all, if it doesn't do 100% of the servers steam has on offer.

when you say you can install it with the appID how do you mean? are you saying you can just write the appID in a input feild in you're program and it will download that appID content?

y0ursource commented 10 years ago

no problem. the issues you're having is because it needs to be downloaded twice in fast succession right? The first Time always fails for some reason to download most of the server files. but the second go works fine.

follow these steps to see what i mean (i understand you know EXACTLY how steamCMD works) but follow this so you get exact same results as me.

put steamCMD.exe in C:\steamCMD folder. Run the command prompt within windows, cd\ then cd steamcmd.

now type steamcmd (wait for all the files to download) now type login anonymous and press enter.

now at this point type in force_install_dir c:\dedicated now type in app_update 90 validate

At this point it will get to maybe 20% then show an error every single time saying error with job 1x0666. Simply now type in again app_update 90 validate

this time you will see the entire process will be completed and all the files are validated. This is why i think you're having errors with that screenshot you showed me.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you can download any server game with the app ID. Just check the "Custom ID" checkbox and write the app ID.

This is how it looks now:

If you are keep getting problems, check the blog of Daniel Gibbs

That screenshot isn't related with that. Only shows an error that I have with a new feature.
