I know there have been countless threads about this before, but ive tried most of the things out there and simply cannot get it to work.
It is a counter strike source dedicated server on windows.

I KNOW all the files are in the correct place..

- My metamod.VDF, goes as follows
---------------------------------------
"Plugin"
{
"file" "..\cstrike\addons\metamod\bin\server.dll "
}

----------------------------------------


my gameinfo.txt is write protected and goes as follows..
--------------------------------------------------------
"GameInfo"
{
game "Counter-Strike Source"
title "COUNTER-STRIKE'"
title2 "source"
type multiplayer_only
nomodels 1
nohimodel 1
nocrosshair 0
hidden_maps
{
"test_speakers" 1
"test_hardware" 1
}
nodegraph 0

FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 240 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.

//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
//
// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
//
//
// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
//
// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2.
//
SearchPaths
{
GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game cstrike
Game hl2
}
}
}

Any ideas AT ALL?, im starting to loose faith in this damn thing -.-

Thanks in advance xD

Have you tried loading via .vdf?

[rockstar91]

How would i go about that?, if you mean place the VDF in addons, thats already done :/ , im guessing the VFD file is correct :/

Also with the console, im typing it in the client side console when i join the server.. ive tried "meta version" with and withought rcon infront of it

EDIT: im off out for a few hours, be back about 9PM GMT

It's either the VDF, or gameinfo.txt, not both. And you need to type it in the server console of course, in client console the command won't exist (hence why you're getting unknown command).
