how to make an hl2 dedicated server
1st. Aquire the dedicated server files
download here:
http://up1.fastuploads.com/sourceds.rar (these are files obtained by using the hldsupdatetool made by valve)
or use the HLDSUpdateTool which can be found somewhere on steampowered.com
2. copy your /hl2/ folder to sourceds/hl2 (make sure all the .gcf files have been extracted into it, and make sure it's not the main half-life 2 folder but the /hl2/ folder)
3. make a shortcut with a commandline that looks like this
C:\sourceds\srcds.exe -game hl2 -maxplayers 128 +map hl2deathmatch -console
4. run the shortcut and you have a hl2 dedicated server!
