ok, so i have been trying to get my server to work for like the last 10 hours. The thing is that when ever I put the commands in for the server to run metamod at start up it always opens then closes all of its sub files and flodes with in 5 secs of me starting it. So why does it open but close ever so fast? I have done everything here; http://www.vadakill.com/nsguides/ns30-steam-win.shtml it works fine like that but i want to add plugins. To the best of my knowledge i have done everything here; http://docs.unitedadmins.com/metamod/en/ as well!

Cheerz FLeA
God damn computers!

What are you interested in adding? AMXMod, AdminMod or just plain ol' MetaMod?

Admin mod and maybe amx and they a hole bunch of plugins like lerk lift, self weld, skulk attach and maybe some more.

It starts up and loads everything but just befor it connect to the internet and becomes a real server it all closes and disapears so iam left with just my desktop.
plz help this is driving me crazy! It also works if i change the gamedll to "dlls\ns.dll" instead of "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll".

P.S I live in Austraila and the time here now is 1:11 PM.

First, make sure that just metamod is working. Then add plugins one at a time to make sure they are all functioning properly. And slow down a bit when typing and be more concise

Check your logs as well...Do you see a specific error msg?

No thats the problem, metamod makes it all crash and total not work. No error messages at all it just all closes.

Then recopy a fresh version of metamod and double check the path in liblist.gam

If that doesn't work you will most likely need to reinstall and patch the steam dedicated server.

I'll just give up, i have tryed reinstalling it 4 times and i have got new and tryed old copys, it all not work.



Metamod

There has to be something that is going wrong on your end. I have never(!) had a problem with metamod itself in the time I have been running HL/Steam servers. Plugins, yes...but never metamod itself.

"commands in for the server to run metamod at start up"

You are referring to editing the liblist.gam here correct? Can you paste your liblist cfg? If you have remote console PM me and I can take a look for you.

Are you launching the server with the '-console' variable? I am still confused when you say that it works if you follow vadakill's instructions but yet say that when only metamod is loaded it is still crashing. Can you clarify?

you need metamod 1.17a to work with ns.
