start game, select new game, then start and it will create a listen server. if you want others online to join type in sv_lan 0 in console.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for that.
What I should have asked then is;-
How do start a listen server with steam and still have all the addon metamod and the ivPodBot stuff working so I can then do the waypointing stuff.
Since steam.exe starts in one directory then uses the steamapps\usersEmailAddress to run from.
Normaly I would use C:\Games\SteamServer_v1120\hlds.exe -dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll for a dedicated server.

Hi All.
Thank for all your help
Finaly done it!
For any other poor sole who finds this a problem.
The key point is that you are using the hl.exe that is in the steamapps users email account directory.
copy all your addons into the cstrike dir of the steamapps users email account directory
create a listenserver.cfg and stuff
exec "addons/adminmod/config/adminmod.cfg"
into that.
create a short cut to the above metioned hl.exe
steamapps users email account directory\hl.exe -dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll

Job done.
Not tested the bot_menu command yet or done any waypointing
But for the first time I can console "waypoint on" and see the waypoints in all thier colorful glory.

Ho dear after all i've said about setting up al listening server! eg that I had done it.
Well it did work!
Now even removing all cfg commands and starting from scatch.
>The key point is that you are using the hl.exe that is in >the steamapps users email account directory.
Firing of this hl.exe with no params.
Loads Steam. bottom right status bar.
Right click on this select play games
Select counter-strike and click starts counter-stike main window.
Select new game.
I choose de_dust
Game loading. Starting local server.
Game crashes back to desktop.

Any Ideas guys?

Thank,
Hunt.

try disabling either metamod or the bot and see if it works. You can then deduce which one is badly set up.

Ahem...*cough* *cough* Shouldn't this be moved to "Server admin help" ? It doesn't have that much to do with waypointing, you see... :D

Pierre your'a star!
Backed up a little and removed some loads of stuff not relavent to just running a listening server to waypoint on.
While doing this I stumbled on a real gem.
// This will produce debugging messages in your logs which can
// be used to troubleshoot problems. Not recommended for general use.
// (0=disabled, 1=enabled)
admin_debug 1

Now I have some feed back on what is happening.
Metamod and bots working.
Next job see if I can now waypoint.

Thanks,
Hunt

I cannot get waypoint on to work

Meta list shows this.

All I get is the above :(
