Hey fellow modders and everybody in the forums.

I read some of the pages in this thread and got the server up. Thanks to Matheus28.
Now there are still some questions left over and I am sure someone can answer them.

I have created additional files to edit some heroes here: (...\dotaserver\dota\scripts\npc). They will work on offline bots if I launch DotA 2 with -override_vpk. How can I make the server also using these files?

And I would like to know how to have a server config running. I would like to turn sv_cheats on for example or execute other commands with the launch of the server. I know this is possible but I don't know how.

Thank you!

Hey guys, I apologize if this is a really noob question. My server is running nicely (MM and D2Fixups), the only problem i have, is when I run "map dota", it says:
"exec: couldn't exec server.cfg"
I don't have this server file, and I don't know where it comes from (I saw mention of it earlier in the posts)
If someone could let me know where it comes from/how to get it/what it does, that would be amazing

Thanks for the great work

[Vulcanit3]

Once you get a server running, add the line "sv_cheats 1"
There are many useful commands, these are some of the ones i know of as important
"map dota" Creates the actual game in the server
"ip:127.0.0.0" Sets the IP of the server (that is localhost)
"port:27015" Sets the port of the server (default dota2 port is 27015)
"max_players 10" Sets the max amount of players for the server
"dota_force_gamemode 1" Sets the gamemode (1 is AP, there is a list somewhere for this)
"sv_lan 1" Sets the server to lanmode (Turns off Heartbeat and a whole lot of steam auth stuff)

I'm new to this stuff though, so don't my word as gospel

Originally Posted by Tetl Our SRCDS does not support --override_vpk. GCFScape etc. does not yet support convenient editing of VPKs, so we had to do that using the VPK.EXE utility. This program seems strange when it comes to paths. I found mine in Alien Swarm/bin. I'm not really sure, but it seems if you try to give it a full directory path, it'll add that PATH to the VPK. That may or may not make sense, but hopefully this example is enough: D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\> "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\alien swarm\bin\vpk.exe" -M -v a pak01 scripts\npc\npc_abilities.txt

I cannot get this to work. I downloaded the L4D2 Authority Tools where VPK.exe is included. After that I copied VPK.exe and both necessary *.dll files to my dotaserver directory
(...dotaserver\dota). With npc_abilites.txt being in the right directory I made a link to VPK.exe using these paramters:
G:\dotaserver\dota\vpk.exe a pak01 @G:\dotaserver\dota\scripts\npc\npc_abilities .txt
However it will only return "CComandLine::AddArgument: exceeded 256 parameters. Any workaround?

The files you extracted will then be the only files that srcds can see, and it'll obey whatever edits you want to make.

This does not work. It gives me tons of various errors when trying to start the server.
