When i start the server it says:

couldn't exec listip.cfg
couldn't exec banned.cfg

this means nothing except that you have not banned anyone yet, so there is no ban file.

and the server is not respoing!
ok.... has nothing to do with the above error...

I cant use AMX commands and when i type "Changelevel de_dust2"
it say "Only the server may changelevel!

why, and what should i do?

if the server isn't responding then how are you typing commands into it? I am guessing you are putting that command into the in game console, you can only use that command from the server console, in game to change the level you have to use rcon or amx

Could it be cuz i chose "open with" wordpad and marked "always use the selected program to open this kind of file"

Its still a CFG file but the "picture" looks like a wordpad file!
see the picture and you wil understand! you gotta press on it!

what do you mean it doesnt respond... doesn't respond to what?

if your using your game console and you have admin rights and you are using amx, just use the command amx_map mapname.... do amx_help for list of all available amx commands.

what is the ip? are you hosting from your house? do you have a router?

so it shows up in the steam server list, but no one can join a game. What occurs when you join, do you get any kind of error? did the server console show an error when people try to join?

Chemical

well... the IP is 192.168.0.231:27015
i CANT join the server, when i look at the server info the ping is 2000 all the time! ... no theres no probs with routers cuz im not using one.. my comp is directly connected to my brothers comp where i get the internet connection! And yes im at home! Did you see the picture? i think thats the prob.. when i start the server and look in the Console this is what stands there:

couldn't exec listip.cfg
couldn't exec banned.cfg


I think its cuz of the shconfig!

is this a listen server or a dedicated server?

shconfig is fine that doesn't matter, if you really want i can tell you how to not make it default open with wordpad. But it is still the same file and still read the same way.

couldn't exec listip.cfg
couldn't exec banned.cfg
are fine thats normal since you DO NOT HAVE A BAN LIST
this means nothing except that you have not banned anyone yet, so there is no ban file.


Your problem is your IP that is a lan ip, no one beyond the computers in your network can connect to that. go find your real ip...
FIND THE IP FOR YOUR MODEM...

There have been plenty of posts on this...
try status in server console that may give it to you...
or try this http://server.counter-strike.net/yourip.html

anything that starts with 192.168. is inside a lan and can only connect thru lan, you need your extrenal ip in order for others to connect outside of your lan.

are you going to do anything but whine?

this is not even the place to be looking for support and we are helping you, but you are not doing anything apparently, nor have you provided us with any useful information.

yo chemical i got a good idea for a confused guy like you

download the auto installer from this site - then delete the addons folder u currently have - then just go to the autoinstaller - click on browse n find u r cstrike directory which shld be sumthing like

c:/programfiles/steam/steamapps/ (e-mail)/counter strike (or dedicated server)/cstrike

hope this wasnt too confusin 4 u

File associations have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your problem, but since you don't take advice from anyone.


open My Computer,
go to Tools (at the top),
click on Folder Options,
click on File Types Tab,
find CFG in the list and select,
click on Restore.....

I'm am not helping you anymore beyond this point.

if you think a file association is causing problems on the server you obviusly know nothing about your OS and prob should not be running a server in the first place.

couldn't exec listip.cfg

You can ignore these 2, just means the files have not been created yet. If the file exists the message will go away, so if you wanted you can stick empty files with the names above in your mods main directory.

hey ..

Only the server may changelevel!


That problem happen whn you are running the server through consoel and you missed the part -game cstrike or you have put like +game cstrike.
Also cross check your console parameter .

A sample command line is

-console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 18 +port 27016 -pingboost 3 -autoupdate -secure
