When the current map ends, it goes to the next map listed in your mapcycle. maxplayers is the only command that cant change when the server is running.Īs for maplist/mapcycle: You are not required to fill these files. I'd suggest using screen to keep the server running and to be able to reopen the console.Ĭommand-line Arguments starting with + are console commands you can use anytime with console access(ie RCON). This will start the server on 2fort, you will have direct access to the console where you can 'changelevel', search 'maps *', speak to players with say I AM YOUR GOD!, and more. You can start the server with hl2_linux -game tf -console +maxplayers 32 +map ctf_2fort.
In the you will find hl2_linux, this is the executable that runs the server. This command can both install the server and update it if it's already installed. Once you have SteamCMD installed, you can use steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir +app_update 232250 +quit. SteamCMD supports Linux, Mac, and Windows. SteamCMD is a tool provided by Valve to install and update software from Steam.
While that's fine, not everyone wants to use 3rd party software. Your guide relies on using a 3rd party Server Manager to get and update the server. I read through you guide and here are my thoughts: You are safe posting this here, Rule 2 is there to prevent advertising paid goods/services.
