Creating a Steam server? Read this for cvars.

[Brolly USSJ1]

its just like clicking on create a server button.
Btw i fixed the problem it was something with my computer not steam. I think something with the firewall.

I cant create a server using steam. When ever i try to create a server it does not show up on the server list to anybody. Please help.

yeesh open up the server.cfg and enter the stuff at the top then it will load everytime with your server (server.cfg for internet Listenserver.cfg for lan) opens with notepad wordpad,
sv_lan 0
hostname "name of server here"
maxplayers "number of players here"
sv_password "password here"

also you have to remember if your creating a server on your comp and playing on that comp as well be warned you dont want more then 8 people on it hella lag between 4-8 is good for that type


btw: these cfgs are in steam\steamapps\your e-mail@provider\half-life\esf
folder default location is in program files on C: drive if you dident change it

but if you want to you can add all this Edit what you want dont put *s infront of them unless you dont want that command enjoy

I putsv_lan 0 in both the server and listenserver files, but it still wouldn't show up in the server list. I even typed sv_lan 0 inthe console and restarted it and it stil doesn't work. Wtf
