Tutorial – Dedicated Server for Suicide Survival

Ok this is a very basic tutorial to get you started.

Suicide Survival is based on HL2 Deathmatch and running on OrangeBox code of the Source Engine. So you will need the “Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server” to run a server. Its the same as “source 2007 dedicated server” in your steamfolder/<your username>

But before you launch the tool delete the file “server.cfg” in SteamsteamappsSourceModsSuicideSurvivalcfg
There is some wierd erro which will prevent your server from changing levels if you leave the server.cfg there.

When you launch it you are giving a few options.

Most of those settings depend on your own liking and bandwith, etc. Just make sure you select the right Game and the right map.

When you are finished start the server.

Congratulations, your dedicated Suicide Survival Server should be up and running now.

If you dont see the server in the serverlist try to get some friends to join it.

You also might want to forward your port if you are connected over a router.  If you dont know how to do that look here: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/5247

Lastly: if you got your server up and running post the IP along with your settings or modifications and when your server will be up on the official forum.

Troubleshooting

So far there is only one common error i know of. When starting the dedicated server tool you get this error:

c:programgameinfo.txt is missing.

This error is generated because it can’t read the space inside the directory structure, (I know its pretty stupid). The only solution that I know of is to re-install steam into a directory with no spaces.
NOTICE: make sure you backup your game files in the steam directory. Because when you deinstall steam it deletes everything!
