I have a guide but it still isn't quite 100% clear to me...maybe someone can give some more detailed info?
or add some more info or steps in this guide....

this is the guide:

1. Acquire the dedicated server files

* download here: sourceds.rar (http://up1.fastuploads.com/sourceds.rar)
* or use the HLDSUpdateTool which can be found somewhere on www.steampowered.com

2. Copy your /hl2/ folder from steam/steamapps/username/half-life/hl2/ to sourceds/hl2

*which hl2? the one which is in Half-life 2 or Half-life 2 death match?
tried it with both maps on different occasions but got error messages afterwards when launching server.


* Note: Make sure you have your half-life 2 gcf files extracted into your hl2 folder! You can extract the files from the half-life 2.gcf by using GCFScape.

*which half-life 2.gcf files exactly?

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!
