I see a few servers out there. Anyone care to help me install this mod on my hl2dm server? A few questions.

Do I install the mod in the hl2mp folder or do I put the mod folder in the same directory as the hl2mp folder? What changes do I need to make in the start up command line? Anything else I need to change to get the mod running?

I looked on the mod site but it just has instructions on running it from your own comp

Just use SteamCMD, the easy way. I could be a jerk like most people and just leave it at that, but I'm not like that. Make a batch file with the following. Replace the "SteamUserName" and "SteamPassword" with your own, of course. Modify the directory path if you want, but make it the same in both lines.

-------------------------

@echo off
cls

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C:\FoF_Server\ +app_update 295230 validate +quit

steamcmd +login SteamUserName SteamPassword +force_install_dir C:\FoF_Server\ +app_update 295230 validate +quit

pause

--------------------------

Make a shortcut to the srcds.exe file and edit the properties. At the end of the "Target" line, add this WITH a space after the last double-quote:

-game fof +hostname "The Name of Your Server" +maxplayers 20

There are ways to put more into the command but I just use the GUI after it starts.

Thanks for the reply. I was talking about on a rented server not a local server on my comp.

Well, yes, so was I. I have a Fistful of Frags server on a leased VDS and this is the method I used. You just install Steam on the system. Does it really work? You tell me:
