Below cut and paste the example into a text file. Then save it. Then rename the file server.cfg Then put that file here >
C:\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\YOUR STEAM NAME\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg
THEN CLICK ON YOUR STEAM ICON IN YOUR TOOL BAR.
And then go to play games, Then go to half life 2 deathmatch.
Start your game then create a server.
Your game will now run a viewable by steam server. ENJOY
