OK, so it's in the middle of installing all that in my command prompt (sorry for all the trouble by the way).
After that's finished, where do I resume following the normal guide?

[Drunken F00l]

OK, after it's done installing, type

Code:

HldsUpdateTool.exe -command version

and make sure it lists at least Source Dedicated Server, Base Source Shared Materials, Base Source Shared Models, Base Source Shared Sounds. If it does, you can then put back the FortressForever folder into the srcds folder. After that, you are ready for the third step. To start the fortress forever server type:

Code:

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game FortressForever +map ff_cornfield -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

The server should then start. You can shut it down and then install SourceOP if you want. You would use the installer (advanced mode) and install it to C:\srcds\FortressForever

[theob5]

ok. It's still installing (at 14.86 %, so it's gonna take a while). I'll tell you how it goes if the server is successfully put up with sourceOP and all.

[Drunken F00l]

OK. Don't forget after this is done, you still have to install the FortressForever server and then install SourceOP before it will work.

[theob5]

but you see, I STILL don't have the exe. And either way, when I type

Code:

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game FortressForever +map ff_cornfield -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

, it says it isn't recognized as an internal or external command.

Then the update didn't finish or something. Run the hldsupdatetool command again (you don't have to delete anythong or start over, you're fine just run it again).

[theob5]

I keep doing that but that exe still never shows up. I don't get it...

[Drunken F00l]

Well when you run hldsupdatetool now, what does it say? You can copy and paste from the command window. To do this, you can right click the command window, select mark, select the text, and press enter. Then paste it here using Ctrl+V.

[theob5]

ok, so when I type hldsupdate tool in command prompt that's directed towards the srcds folder, this is what comes up:

Code:

C:\srcds>hldsupdatetool

That's good. But I meant what comes up when you type:

Code:

hldsupdatetool -command update -game hl2mp -dir C:\srcds
