Server Hlds

[Ossius]

I'm going to feel like a complete idiot for posting this... but I'm new at the server admin business and I have no clue what HLDS or how to download it.

All the threads I've find simply linked to Steam?

Also Under tools downloads there is only:

Red Orchestra SDK Beta
and
Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45
Isn't this normally how you get the Dedicated servers?

Help.

go to www.steampowered.com

scroll all the way down, till you see "Tools" click on it and then click on "windows hlds update tool"

download and install that file.
Next create a *.bat file to download the game files using the hlds update tool.

I've attached some zip file with an example bat file, just open with notepad and edit the directory where you want the server to reside, place the bat file in the same folder as your hldsupdatetool.exe directory.

In the installation directory of the game you will have a file called ro2server.bat that is needed to launch the server. If you want to setup admin you could follow this guide http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=57458. (to access webadmin go to http://ip:8080)
