MeanLoader Server Startup

[skeletorsue]

i did.. a long time ago actually.. and double checked it even.. and nothing.. but i think i stopd it from happening all together.. cuz when i loaded my map that has never faild before to give me this error.. the map loaded and playd fine.. it was a virtual memory problem...

I found I needed to do more than just turn off the visual notification. You have to turn off all error messages.

I did this,

and this.

I may have tweaked some other things, but I know that one of the tweaks, I think the second one above, disabled all error messages including error messages like the ones asking you whether you want to save a changed document when you close Notepad. I never found this to be a big problem, and in some ways I liked it, but it may mean you have to be careful about changes you make to text documents. One simple way around this is to stop using Notepad and change to a much better text editor, such as NoteTab.

This is what I have in command line in the INI file for meanloader 1.22
it is a server 2003 and trying to run HL2 DM server without having to click on icon to start server and leave user logged in so it doesnt close server.

D:\installdirectory\source_server\srcds.exe -console -game hl2mp -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 +maxplayers 11 -port 27015 +map dm_lockdown +exec server.cfg

this is the complete config settings, any help will be huge

I'm trying to figure out what your question is. Have you installed the service? Did you restart the service after you changed your config?

edit: I can see one thing you've got wrong. This line:

CommandLine = D:\installdirectory\source_server\srcds.exe -console -game hl2mp -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 +maxplayers 11 -port 27015 +map dm_lockdown +exec server.cfg

Shouldn't have the executable in it, only the command line switches. So it should look like this:

CommandLine = -console -game hl2mp -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 +maxplayers 11 -port 27015 +map dm_lockdown +exec server.cfg

hehe sorry, I get the service meanloader started properly but it will not fire up HL2 DM server

[Drek]

Did you change the CommandLine line as I indicated and restart the service?

[svr_2]

yes,
