1. Create a directoy for the hldsupdatetool - this will NOT be the directory the game server is in!
   # mkdir steam
2. Change to the new directory and download the hldsupdatetool:
   # wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/d...updatetool.bin
3. Change the permissions and execute it:
   # chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
   # ./hldsupdatetool.bin
4. After it completes, a file is created called 'steam', run it to with no parameters to get the latest version:
   # ./steam
5. Now execute Steam and download (update) the mod you want to host
   # ./steam -command update -game xyz -dir xyz
   ex. ./steam -command update -game "cstrike" -dir ~/hlds_l # This will install HLDS to hlds_l in the user's home directory
6. For running the server go into the game dir and execute hlds_run. See Running HLDS for details.
7. You may want want to run more than one copy of HLDS server, in that case use the -dir paramater using directories like "~/cs16public", "~/cs16clan", "~dodpublic" etc

3. Change the permissions and execute it:
# chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
# ./hldsupdatetool.bin how to do it?

It seems to me your starting everything from scratch, also based on all your other posts. Expecting everybody to walk you through it, when almost all of us here had to find out ourselves, or just search for how to's or tips on what todo. THeir are 1000's of resources that tell you how to do it, or even 1 command line to dl hlds, just search for them.

For some reason almost all your questions are being answered, and I guess I would expect this one to be also. Just expressing my opinion I guess. No harm in wanting to know, just dont expect everybody to hand feed you. Once your hand fed, their is no independence anymore. Then what are yea gonna do when running into issues?

You just type #3 in CLI. What chmod +x does is allow a file to be able to execute itself under your user:group. Once you allow it to execute, it will ask you if you accept the agreement or not.

Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: _

If you accept, it should print out:

extracting steam.tar.Z...done

ls after and you should see steam installed.

He'll be back here to ask questions?


@AMX Cleaner: Type in the chmod command into your terminal/ssh, what line #3 said in your little how-to set up an HLDS.
