hi. i saw your post on this:

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 ), 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 |

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 |

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... |
