When I try to start hlds.exe on its own, it gives me an error saying that:
To remedy this I attempted to replace hlds.exe with
Where %c are the command line arguments, however that seems to fail as well and just ends up opening many instances of the hlds.exe launcher for steam.
/stuck

Spent some more time on this, found some excellent resources over at the valve developer community, however its still not working.
I'm pretty sure I am doing something wrong. I thought you were supposed to be able to launch HLDS in -console mode though...
Until tomorrow!

Yer using the REAL HLDS.exe - with like a DOS console window - and not that crap steam-skinned GUI HLDS they supply, yes? This a winderz or linux server? (NS seems to like Winderz better.)
Easy way (windows):
Download:
http://www.thothie.com/ms/hldsupdatetool.zip
make a folder called c:\hlds
drop contents of above zip archive into said.
Press Windows+R, and paste this code into the Open blank:
This will download the uncompressed version of Half-Life you need to host a true dedicated server, and make sure you have every file you need. (Takes a bit)
Then drop your NS server folder in there. Folder structure should look something like:
Except, where you see "MSC" you'll see "NS".
And in that case, to use the batch file I posted on the previous page, you'd want to dump it into the c:\hlds folder as well.

Ah I see, so you have to use the hlds update tool in order to host a true not-through-steam dedicated server.
I'll get to it.
[ EDIT]
Thats very convenient, it just dropped all the dedicated server files right into that directory.
To answer your questions:
Its on Windows Server 2003
And no, I was using steam-skinned shitty-ness ;__;
[ EDIT EDIT]
Everything is up and seems to be running alright, with the exception of a map rotation.
screens & ty tothie.

That's where you are mistaken. With out own server, we can get more followers. And think about when the server is full, those extra OAs have to go somewhere.
And Wormbo, I believe he is talking about the /stuck strength.

you could make a bind that changed mp_team2damagepercent to 10 % every time you were about to get bit, and just claim that they missed half their bites.
