[Cheesicle]

fuck i accidenly modified my op so ima retype this in really shitty grammar

im trying to make a server with srcds and i get No installation record found at C:\srcds/orangebox

then a seconds lines says No installation record found at C:\srcds

then it gets stuck there.

ive been waiting for hours.

No no, it's fine.

All it means is that it hasn't found a folder in your \srcds, so it's making one.


Just let it run for 5-minutes, and then it'le start downloading the server files you want.

What server you trying to set up?


_______-

THAT THERE EDITED POST.


Just make a folder called "orangebox" in it.

Double check, and make sure the .bat or shortcut you're running has the proper commands to download the files.

[Cheesicle]

theres already a orangebox folder, and what .bat program are you talking about?

omfg we are fail modifying our posts lol so fucking confusing

srcds is shitty at handling the "/" and "\"

they don't represent the same thing

so just use C:/SRCDS/Orangebox

instead of C:/SRCDS\Orangebox

C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool -command update -game garrysmod  -dir C:\srcds

i had this problem before it was something to do with that >.<

change those \ to /

Code: [Select]

C:/srcds/hldsupdatetool -command update -game garrysmod  -dir C:/srcds

FIXED:

The solution was so fucking stupid = =

You need to put quotations around the game name

So from

C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool -command update -game garrysmod -dir C:\srcds

to

C:\srcds\hldsupdatetool -command update -game "garrysmod" -dir C:\srcds
