[GoldSrc][Dedicated Server] Steam Tool: Dedicated Server not using Steam-pipe system

[MasteRs-git]

Steam tool: Dedicated Server isn't updated to Steam-pipe system. Still using old hldsupdatetool version.

Actually it is using SteamPipe if you opt in Beta it creates separate folder: steamapps/common/hlds and doesn't use .gcf

[MasteRs-git]

It is another Steam App, Dedicated Server = appid 5 Half-Life Dedicated Server = appid 90

[ghost]

Dedicated Server (appid 5) is deprecated https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Application_IDs#Server_Files

90 Half-Life Dedicated Server 4 Half-Life Dedicated Server Linux (deprecated) 5 Half-Life Dedicated Server Windows (deprecated)

Use Half-Life Dedicated Server (appid 90) instead

Maybe Dedicated Server should be removed then?

Maybe Dedicated Server should be removed then?

Maybe when Half-Life Dedicated Server works from Steam. I just installed it and get a Missing Executable error.

Likely cause:

"config"
{
    "contenttype"       "3"
    "installdir"        "hlds"
    "launch"
    {
        "0"
        {
            "executable"        "testapp.exe"
        }
    }
}

@yaakov-h you can run the server using hlds.exe, not steam

[yaakov-h]

For someone using steam instead of steamcmd, such as in this issue, I dare say yes.

steam downloads the server to steamapps/common/hlds. You can find hlds.exe there. Everything works (look at my screen)

[yaakov-h]

I know, but you can't kill a seemingly working app and replace it with one that fails to launch from steam, which would follow on from Anakin's suggestion. Someone like the OP who would install it through Steam probably wouldn't bother looking through steamapps to try find hlds

You should run "Half-Life Dedicated Server" now, it has been fixed (just now). You will need to opt into the beta for now. Once people confirm it works we will remove "Dedicated Server" from the tools list. For games to show in the list of available servers you need to install that game first (except for cstrike and hl1, those two come by default).
