I don't quite understand the second part...For 1.6 you would put -game cstrike, but what about for Counter-Strike: Source?

Thanks in Advance

Can you run CS:S from a command-line prompt? If so, then whatever you use for the command-line is what you'll use for the loader.

Hi there,

I'm having trouble with my NS servers (hlds.exe). Everytime I log out of the server account, it restarts the server. Also whenever i stop it, hlds.exe crashes. Seems to be a problem with meanloader initial setup, but i cant quite pinpoint what.

Quote:
[Settings]
ServiceName = #Classic
RestartInterval = 5000
NumberOfProcesses = 1
ServicePriority = normal
UserInterface = no

[Process_0]
StartDir = D:\gameservers\Classic
ProcessName = nsclassic
AppName = D:\gameservers\Classic\hlds.exe
CommandLine = -console -port 27015 -game ns +map ns_tanith +maxplayers 22 +exec server.cfg
StartPause = 1000
StopPause = 1000
UserInterface = No
AutoRestart = Yes
Priority = normal
Paused = No
Window = ShowNA
NumOfRespChecks = 1
PrcFileLogging = Yes
Theres my meanloader.ini if it helps.

Edit: I read the known issues.txt - i see this has issues with hlds That makes me a sad panda... the old server admin had got round this somehow, but I have no idea. Is there any other process/server loaders like this that are compatible with hlds?

Hi

@Supermop: try this:
CommandLine = -console -game ns -port 27015 +map ns_tanith +maxplayers 22 +exec server.cfg

I've got a problem with CS:Source and meanloader. I can't show any windows of my srcds.exe.

window is set to show, but never was displayed anything. gameserver is running well, but i can't show window of this task even with this command:
Quote:
@rem set the path to the server loader, eg c:\srvload
set loaderpath=d:\downloads\meanloader122\meanloader

%loaderpath%\meanloader -show public01
I even tried to run without "-console" in commandline, no success.
Any ideas?
thanks for helping!

I'm trying to get the server loader to work on our new box, but for some reason it won't actually start anything. Even after a clean reinstall (turned off error reporting, ran loader_(un)install) and using the beta version to set core affinity, it still reports 'successfully' loading things but nothing shows up for some reason.

Here are the ini contents and some log output with the default processes. The only thing changed here is C:\WINNT\ --> C:\WINDOWS\ in both paths.

Code:
[Settings]
ServiceName = (mEAn) Server Loader
RestartInterval = 5000
NumberOfProcesses = 1
ServicePriority = Low
UserInterface = yes

[Process_0]
StartDir = 
ProcessName = calc
AppName = C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe
CommandLine = 
AffinityMask = 1
StartPause = 1000
StopPause = 1000
UserInterface = Yes
AutoRestart = Yes
Priority = normal
Paused = No
Window = Minimize
NumOfRespChecks = 1
PrcFileLogging = Yes

[Process_1]
StartDir = 
ProcessName = notepad
AppName = C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe
CommandLine = 
AffinityMask = 1
StartPause = 1000
StopPause = 1000
UserInterface = Yes
AutoRestart = Yes
Priority = normal
Paused = No
Window = Minimize
NumOfRespChecks = 1
PrcFileLogging = Yes
Code:

Thu Nov 08 20:56:42 2007 ::
The result of this is that I can find the server loader service in the services list (started, automatic) but calc and notepad aren't actually started, nor can they be found in the task manager list.
Previously I'd get all the server windows to nicely show up in the task bar, now nothing.

As for the machine itself: it's a Core 2 Duo 6600 with WinXP SP2, and it previously did work on a near identical machine with windows server 2003. I'm connecting to it with remote desktop, should that matter for process visibility.

Have you actually tried loading a game server with it?

Of course! First thing I did was copy the settings over from our old server, where they did work. So I'm guessing the problem isn't with the variables but with the serverloader itself. I'm wondering if there are any incompatibilities with recent hardware?

Is the new box running Windows Vista by any chance?
