U shouldn't need to reinstall just do that and if it doesn't work then reinstall and do that. Or you can just read what I read, its for 1.5 but it works for 1.6 too....
(couldn't find the EXACT ONE i used, but this is prety much similar) http://www.linux.com/howtos/Game-Ser...halflife.shtml

Did the export command aswell but it didnt work it just freezes again,
but for some reason the following dissapeared:

scandir /usr/steam/hlds_l/./valve/SAVE

but

scandir /usr/steam/hlds_l/./platvorm/SAVE are still there.

after that its normaly the same, just hang not calling any maps or any thing

maybe your distro has something to do with? Im not totaly sure, but look around (i.e. Steampowered.com, etc.) and see what the minimum specs are. I had a problem similar to that but i just earased and started from scratch and worked, just cant update it. :-(

this is the basic setup for a cs server...but its the same principle for all other mods as well

hi
i'm on debian and i can't execute the file hlds_l_1120_full.bin :

debian:/usr/steam# ./hlds_l_1120_full.bin
bash: ./hlds_l_1120_full.bin: cannot execute binary file

i applied authorisation for execute the file ( chmod a+x hlds_l_1120_full.bin )

Well.. if somebody has an idea =)

Thx!

Dont realy know that much...

First i see u got the /usr/steam directory...
Then u must be in the directory where ur "hlds.bin" file are and then try to run it with ./

if that dont work try sh and the file name ("hlds.bin")

hope it helps

the file hlds_l_1120_full.bin is in /usr/steam:

debian:/usr/steam# ls -l
total 435060
-rwx--x--x 1 root staff 445055300 Apr 27 21:14 hlds_l_1120_full.bin

and i tested to execute the file with ./ and sh = same error

( and with filename hlds.bin it's the same ...)

Try and do this...

chmod 755 "file name"

the attributes must be -rwxr-xr-x

so if ur as loged in as another user u can read and execute the file.

the first rwx is for user
the second is for groups
and the third is for other users.

i tried to create the folder and do this code

$ su -
$ mkdir /usr/steam/
$ chown <user> /usr/steam/
$ chgrp <user> /usr/steam/
(user is a user other than root that you want to run it.)
$ exit
(goes back to your pervious user NOT ROOT!)
$ chmod 700 hlds_l_1120_full.bin
$ ./hlds_l_1120_full.bin
(it exstracts it to /usr/steam/)
$ cd /usr/steam
$ gunzip hlds_l_1120_full.tgz
$ tar xvf hlds_l_1120_full.tar
(exstracts it to a /usr/steam/hlds_l/*)


like one of the other guys up the top did, but when i get asked for the password i dont know what to put in:-

[peter@server hlds_1]$ su -
Password:
su: incorrect password
[peter@server hlds_1]$ mkdir /usr/steam/
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/steam/': Permission denied
[peter@server hlds_1]$ su -


hope some1 can help thanks heaps

Ok, I just installed Debian, and I did as you did, and I wrote my root password for su, so I guess that's it? Su kinda logs you into root through your user and let's you make directories and stuffs through that one?

Okay guys. you don't even have to mess with the pain in the butt .bin file. here is all you have to do.

Step 1. wget http://mirror.trouble-free.net/games..._1120_full.tgz

Step 2. Copy it to the dir you want it installed to. I'm a hosting co so this is where I put it.
/home/client name or clan name/

Step 3. tar -xvzf hlds_l_1120_full.tgz

Step 4. Now to update the steam updater
./steam -update

Step 5. Creating a new steam account. (no cdkey needed)
./steam -command create -username usernamehere -password secretpass -email email@addy.com -question "This is you question in case you forget your pass" -answer "your answer here"

Step 6. Updating
./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir /path/to/hlds_l/ -username usernamehere -password secretpass -remember_password

Step 7. Edit your server.cfg file

Step 8. Running the server for the first time.
./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip 123.456.789.0 +port 27015 +maxplayers 20 +map cs_assault
check to see if the server started up and is running good. after you confirm the server up and running. ctrl+c or type quit

Step 9. Running the server the right way.
screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip 123.456.789.0 +port 27015 +maxplayers 20 -autoupdate +map de_aztec

there you go I'll finis this later. you know revise it whatever

after Step 3. you need to cd hlds_l
this form wont let me edit my own post so this is why i double posted

Wow dude this really helped i was way off, am doing the updateing and ill do the +ip <myip> later once its done updateing

Ok now am done and i ran

./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip 123.456.789.0 +port 27015 +maxplayers 20 +map cs_assault
