It would really only be good for one use, the initial install. After that, it would just be overwriting EVERYTHING, including unecessary things like listenserver.cfg. I really don't see it being worthwhile to have it, especially because of the huge download. Besides, the sooner the person figures out "thothie.com/ms", the better.

Though, Thothie, you might consider putting the FN rules on your installer. It's not a bad idea.

Err... They are there. Run it. ;)

We do need to replace the 1.0 install - but it's spread to so many places we have no control over, it is going to be very hard to do. I'd like to include some recompiles of vanilla maps if I do that. I also kinda want to wait until we have a stable client.dll.

Then again, I hardly made any changes to the client.dll this month; indeed, so few, I'm tempted not to change it. I was hoping to make show_health a real cvar, but it seems there's no easy way to do that ATM. Then again, this month has been almost all map scripts, so we may see more work done on it next month, as I think the only map scripts I have to finish up are Crow's (cross fingers).

Yeah, I took the [FN] Rules.html from the beta pack and moved it. I think I also left the rules in the msc directory too.

Now if Dridje can get me a folder filled with everything I need to set up a temporary server for myself to Connect to FN and Level without being Disturbed too Often, That'd be Great ! o-o
(Yes I require that much Spoon-feeding, ~Eats a Box of Cornflakes~)

Thothie's Signature's Guide was a bit confusing, I tried to Skip the "Re-Install HL1 to This New Folder" but all in all it didn't work out well. :O

Soul,
here is my settings to the server...
Its really simple!

server.cfg
Code:
hostname "Change your name"
maxplayers 6
sv_lan 0
ms_pklevel 0
ms_serverchar 3
ms_central_enabled 1
ms_central_addr "cboat.mine.nu"
ms_central_pass "testing"
ms_allowkickvote 0
ms_allowtimevote 1
ms_timelimit 30
rcon_password "Password goes here"
sv_voiceenable 1
sv_voicequality 5
sv_voicecodec voice_speex
sv_alltalk 1
sv_spectalk 1
sv_clienttrace 3.5
pausable 0
sv_maxspeed 600   
exec fuznet.cfg
  
exec fuznet.cfg
  
exec fuznet.cfg
  
exec fuznet.cfg
  
exec fuznet.cfg
just open notepad and paste it... make sure you save it as server.cfg

make sure your fuznet say

Code:
ms_central_enabled 1
ms_central_addr	"blastnet.bounceme.net:5711"
ms_central_pass	"testing"
echo Fuznet Mode Enabled

on userconfig.cfg file
put developer 2 to 0... it helps the lag and it doesn't annoying you to much.


Everytime there is an update... I make a copy of the server configures and replace them with my codes.

thats one scary looking server config file!

why do you have fuznet exec 4 times?


mine looks a little more clean.

Code:
/// Use this file to configure your LISTEN server. 
// This config file is executed everytime the server changes levels.

//----------
// IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LOGGING!:  if you want to enable logging 
// on your server do NOT do it in this file.  Instead, do it in 
// autoexec.cfg. Putting "log on" in this file can mess up your 
// log files. E-mail [email protected] with questions.
//---------

// If you run a listen server and choose to modify this file, 
// note that assigning values to the following variables within 
// this file will stomp the choices you make in the Launcher 
// server configuration "Advanced Options" screen:
//
hostname "YOUR SERVER NAME HERE"
maxplayers 4
sv_lan 0
log on

// player bounding boxes (collisions, not clipping)
sv_clienttrace 3.5

// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0

// maximum client movement speed 
sv_maxspeed 600

//ms_ip 192.168.0.6

ms_pklevel 0
ms_serverchar 3

//
// MS Central Settings
//
ms_central_enabled 1
ms_central_addr "blastnet.bounceme.net:5711"
ms_central_pass "testing"

//list of custom maps
custommaps "foutpost island1 lowlands ms_quest ms_snow ms_underworldv2 nightmare_thornlands pvp_archery pvp_arena unrest unrest2_beta1 ww1"

//prevents crazy ammounts of information from posting in server console
developer 0

// Voice comm settings - set sv_voiceenable 1 to enable
sv_voiceenable 0
sv_voicequality 10
sv_voicecodec voice_speex

// Allow all players to hear one another, regardless of team
sv_alltalk 1
sv_spectalk 1

// Custom Content Server for fast downloads, Feel free to make your own
sv_downloadurl "http://www.thothie.com/hlserv"

its got comments and everything! If you really need spoon feeding when it comes to setting up I can always help :wink: I have almost infiniate patience be it a curse or blessing.

*edit*
almost forgot you will notice I don't use the fuznet.cfg, in reality its not really needed.

Well, if you mean dedicated server, this install can also work as one. You just follow the first part of the tutorial, making a folder in C:\HLDS and getting the half-life files in it. Download the restarter and put the msc folder in there.

Quick Note Before I go Sleep: I presume I did Steps 1, 2, and 4 of Thothie's Guide.

I Installed HLDS/HL1 Files, and I Configured The Server.cfg file o-o

I'm Pretty Sure I Skipped Step 3 Though: Add a Restarter, I'll start That Tomorrow, Along with Step 5: Firewalls and Routers.

(Sorry for the Thread Hijacking xD) Later Guys
