Server frustration

[gamemaster1996]

Hey im relatively new to making servers and im getting a tad frustrated at the compilcatedness of it all

So can anyone upload a zip file with their server files in, what's in it and what i have to do to it or help me on my thread from yesterday regarding windows server http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10679

Thanks :blushing:

P.S im not lazy i only ask this out of the fact that servers are very confusing.

If you follow this tutorial everything should work.

And if it doesn't, delete curvehands.dll

I did when installing windows server and as seen here http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=10679
it didn't work oddly

I think it may not be installing properly.
Delete all the files and completely re-download the entire srcds, then I'm sure someone can post some basic configs etc, if not I will do that tomorrow.

dear lord do not use that guide, the cfg alone makes the guy look absolutely retarded.
A "base" cfg should not have that much crap in it <_<

I always recommend my tutorial: http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=4001
Just skip down to part 2.

hostname "blah"
rcon_password "asdf"
sv_password ""
sv_lan "0"

sv_downloadurl "http://something/tf/"

sv_region "0"
sv_pausable "0"
sv_cheats "0"
sv_consistency "1"
sv_allowupload "1"
sv_allowdownload "0"
sv_timeout "300"
sv_pure "1"
sv_pure_kick_clients "0"

mp_timelimit "45"
mp_footsteps "1"

This is what a base cfg looks like...

And I agree with Cameron on just starting over, its far easier then troubleshooting.
