I am trying to setup a dedicated server of source forts, as it is on my clans dedicated server i am using hldsupdatetool.exe to download the server software, I have counter-strike source and hl2 deathmatch downloaded, I then downloaded sourceforts and put the folder in the same folder as the cstrike, hl2, hl2mp and bin folders.

I have a batch file that starts the server modified from one i use to start the css and hl2dm servers

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title SourceForts 27065
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game SourceForts +map sf_fortfield +maxplayers 12 -port 27065
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

however the srcds.exe opens, i starts to load but then just stops and doesnt load the map. I have done exactly the same for garrys mod and that works fine, is it something i am doing wrong?

Thanks

Cant anyone help me? :?:

For some reason SourceForts 1.4.2 doesn't load the map specified with +map so this just won't work

IIRC this is already fixed in 2.0 betas but that you will have to wait until some time in May...

so how could i run a dedicated server, i have seen others running. so it must be possible?

You select the map with "map sf_whatever" when the server has loaded.
