It is supposed to be like that....It runs in DOS and is a pain in the arse to use.....hopefully I can help
Make sure that at least your HLDS
shorcut has some commandlines
"C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\hlds.exe" -game esf +maxplayers X
where X is the maxplayers
Other useful crap:
+map X - Does it's job and chooses the map which is X
-port 2701X - You have to set this or you won't be able to play on it,set it to something like 27016,27017,etc.
---------------------------------------
EDIT: Doesn't help??try this link
http://server.counter-strike.net/
It's for CS but that doesn't mean you can't do anything for ESF,va?
EDIT 2: Found more CMDs.......woohoo!!
sv_maxrate X - Sets the maximum rate the client can use.
sv_minrate X - Sets the minimum rate the client can use
Others can be found in Mr.Satans post...only Im too lazy to post it.....
--------------------------------------
BTW,when it seems to do nothing(adding master server...),that's the time when you can tinker around with the server,that's how user-unfriendly HLDS is,it's mean and of course you can host games......but it's EVIL and unless you know what you're doing you could make your server crash...
BTW pt.2,n00b in forums,veteran in ESF from HK....
