The Half-Life Dedicated Server Update Tool or HLDSUpdateTool was a tool to update GoldSrc and Source dedicated servers. It is no longer in use and has been replaced with SteamCMD instead.
Setting up
- Windows: Just run the installer
- Linux:
- Open a terminal and browse to a suitable folder
- Execute
wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
- Execute
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
- Execute
./hldsupdatetool.bin
- If you are running a 64-bit Linux distro, you will probably have to install 32-bit libs. See here how to do this.
- The real update tool is
./steam
Downloading and running the server
Run the update tool with -command update -game <game>
. Optionally, add -dir <path>
to download to a custom location.
Here are some game names:
redorchestra - Red Orchestra ship - The Ship sin - Sin Episodes darkmessiah - Dark Messiah
