The Half-Life Dedicated Server Update Tool or HLDSUpdateTool was a tool to update GoldSrc and Source dedicated servers.
Note: HLDSUpdateTool was deprecated in early 2013 in favor of SteamCMD. Note: The Content Delivery Network HLDSUpdateTool used was shut down in late 2013, thus HLDSUpdateTool is no longer functional.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.
Run the update tool with -command list to get a list of game names.
To run the game, see either the Half-Life Dedicated Server or Source Dedicated Server page for more information.
