Garrysmod Dedicated Server

This is a .rar archive with all the files needed to run a garrysmod dedicated server. Just follow the simple instructions (carefully) and it should all work :)



Installation:

To Install the server you just have to extract the .rar file you you C directory. It's vital that it gets

extracted to the C directory, or else you can't update it (wich is essential). when that is done you

have a folder at C:Gmod Server containing all the server files and what not.



Server settings can be configured in C:Gmod Serverorangeboxgarrysmodcfg in the Server.cfg file.



The last thing you need to do in order for everything to work is portforwarding. www.portforward.com

is a great website with info on close to every router out there on portforwarding. For Garrysmod

you wanna forward ports 27011 in both TCP and UDP as well as port 27015 (also TCP and UDP)



Updating the server:

Before you run the server for the first time, it's important that you run the update. Chances are

that the game may have been updated in the time this has been on tpb.



To update you simply run the Gmod Server Update shortcut found at C:Gmod Server



Starting up the server:

Now all we need to do is start up the server.

To do this we need to make a shortcut for the srcds.exe found in C:Gmod Serverorangebox.

When that is done you need to right click that shortcut and go to properties.

Here we need to add a little something in the "target" field. It should say something like:

C:Gmod Serverorangeboxsrcds.exe

we want to add -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate +exec server.cfg

into the target field, so now it says:

C:Gmod Serverorangeboxsrcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate +exec server.cfg

you can go ahead and change these settings, if you want more/less players or another map to play. In any case

your server is now done and ready to use!



The server comes with ULX and Assmod admin plugins. Type ULX help in game for more info on adding yourself as admin.
