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
Warning: The HLDS Update Tool does not provide Lost Coast, even though SDK Base does. Multiplayer mods should either not use anything from Lost Coast, or include what they do use in their dedicated server download.
To run the game, see either the Half-Life Dedicated Server or Source Dedicated Server page for more information.
