hi. i saw your post on this:
Chips wrote:
Instructions on using ServerDoc to restart your server in case of a crash. Also, see Snicker bat file above which essentially does the same thing.

First...download the free version of serverdoc:
http://www.serverdoc.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1
This version "times out" every couple of months and you'll just have to dl the newest version and replace the executable...very simple.

Second...create a folder under your your servers "root" folder. Extract the serverdoc contents there.
For reference, this is my setup...TFCServer is my "root" folder.
Example:F:\Games\TFCServer\ServerDoc

Third...go to your "serverdoc" folder and create a shortcut to "serverdoc.exe"
The "target" of this shortcut would read:
Example:F:\Games\TFCServer\ServerDoc\serverdoc.exe

Fourth...add the full contents of the shortcut "target" for hlds.exe to the serverdoc shortcut target.
ExampleF:\Games\TFCServer\ServerDoc\serverdoc.exe F:\Games\TFCServer\hlds.exe -console -game tfc +port 27016 +map concjumpTFC +maxplayers 8

Fifth...always use the serverdoc shortcut to start your server now. When and if (in your case, it more just a matter of when Laughing ), serverdoc will restart it automatically in 10 seconds. The above examples are again for reference and reflect my set up. Use it as a guide to get yours working.

Enjoy
and i need a lot of help with it lol. im not running the stand alone hlds, but the ...steam/steamapps/account/dedicated server/hlds.exe, and when I i add the line
Code:
"D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\knhorn@excite.com\dedicated server\hlds.exe -console -game tfc +port 27015"
to the target line and start up serverdoc, i get this error:
Code:
07-11-2005 18:38:55 Unable to start"D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\knhorn@excite.com\dedicated server\hlds.exe -console -game tfc +port 27015" Please check command line

can anyone help me? tks a lot Very Happy

i dont know the prog but this sounds reasonable...
try making a .BAT batch file for serverdoc to load
goto notepad and paste your code in there again
Code:
"D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\knhorn@excite.com\dedicated server\hlds.exe -console -game tfc +port 27015"

then save to wherever is convenient as "serverdocload.bat", select file type "all files".
again this makes sense to me but who knows Razz

I'm not sure if this works with the Steam dedicated server...but I don't see why it wouldn't if you start it in console and not the GUI.

Where exactly did you unpack ServerDoc...what exact folder?

Let's say you unpacked it here:
"D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\knhorn@excite.com\dedicated server\ServerDoc...and created a shortcut to ServerDoc.exe in that same folder. Your ServerDoc shortcut should be edited to read:

"D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\knhorn@excite.com\dedicated server\ServerDoc\serverdoc.exe D:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\knhorn@excite.com\dedicated server\hlds.exe -console -game tfc +port 27015

Click the ServerDoc shortcut to start the server.

The stand alone is better and more configurable...IMO.

Good job getting it working. What's your server IP so we can come by and harass you... Razz
