Hi,
For some reason i cant get source metamod to work right.
I will change the gameinfo.txt file correctly,
but then when i start up the server, i open gameinfo.txt and the line i added disappeared. something in the booting of the dedicated server it makes it re-save or remove that line. and since it was cleared in the booting, it was never loaded.
and yes, the file IS being saved correctly, ive saved it, closed the editor, checked it in a DIFFERENT editor, and all is well. I will start up dedicated server, then open gameinfo.txt, and the line i added will have been removed. every single time i start up the server the same thing happens.
help?

are you using a Steam Dedicated Server, or a standalone dedicated server, or a listen server?

The only one out of those three that will be reliable every time is the standalone dedicated server.

yea im using source dedicated server.
where do i get a standalone dedicated server?

That seems very strange even with source dedicated server using steam. You could always try the file in read only mode to see what srcds likes it.

Otherwise, you can get full instructions on how to download srcds standalone from here: www.srcds.com

You can try this too:

Also, if you intend to be playing on the same machine you're running this server from, make sure you put -port 27016 into the command line.

The standalone server is available at: http://storefront.steampowered.com/d...updatetool.exe

Optionally, you can set the gameinfo.txt file to read only.
