This is Quickstart guide - Setting up a Source Dedicated Server 
into your home PC (Windows version) using SteamCMD tool.
Installing SRCDS
Get SteamCMD tool (Download Link), extract zip file and place steamcmd.exe in this directory structure.
C:\server\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe
|
Open notepad.exe and create TXT file in same destination, named update.txt and create BATCH file named steamcmd_run.bat.
C:\server\steamcmd\update.txt
C:\server\steamcmd\steamcmd_run.bat |
Inside steamcmd_run.bat file, save this script.
steamcmd.exe +runscript update.txt
Inside update.txt file, save this SteamCMD script
Note:This script will now install multiple SRCDS (CS:GO, CS:S and TF2). Disable lines which you not want to install with double slash // or delete lineslogin anonymous
force_install_dir "../Counter-Strike Global Offensive"
app_update 740 validate
force_install_dir "../Counter-Strike Source"
app_update 232330 validate
//force_install_dir "../Half-Life 2 Deathmatch"
//app_update 232370 validate
//force_install_dir "../Day of Defeat Source"
//app_update 232290 validate
force_install_dir "../Team Fortress 2"
app_update 232250 validate
Note:If some reason you fail to create these above files, you can download those from google drive Hidden Link!
Run steamcmd_run.bat file, SteamCMD window should appear and start downloading files.
If everything is done right, you get SRCDS in C:\server\
Launching SRCDS
Find srcds.exe program from SRCDS game directory. For example in CS:GO mod:
C:\server\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\srcds.exe
|
Create shortcut from srcds.exe and open shortcut properties.
In shortcut properties Target: input, you see path to the program.
"C:\Server\counter-strike global offensive\srcds.exe"
- By adding parameter -console, you run SRCDS without GUI
- Adding parameter -game, you set <game mod> folder you are going to run
- Adding SRCDS command +map, you start server with specific map. You find maps in ...<game mod>/maps/ folder
Example to run Counter-Strike: Global Offensive dedicated server
"C:\Server\counter-strike global offensive\srcds.exe" -console -game csgo +map de_dust2
Examples for other games
"C:\Server\Counter-Strike Source\srcds.exe" -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 "C:\Server\Team Fortress 2\srcds.exe" -console -game tf +map cp_dustbowl
Updating SRCDS
Close all running SRCDS servers and run steamcmd_run.bat
