Gameinfo.txt help
 

I am trying to install metamod, I wrote this on my gameinfo.txt
GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
so it looks like this:
"GameInfo"
{
game "Counter-Strike Source"
title "COUNTER-STRIKE'"
title2 "source"
type multiplayer_only
nomodels 1
nohimodel 1
nocrosshair 0
hidden_maps
{
"test_speakers" 1
"test_hardware" 1
}
nodegraph 0


FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 240 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.

//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
//
// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
//

//
// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
//
// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2.
//
SearchPaths
{

GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game cstrike
Game hl2
}
}
}

And metamod is installed in "source dedicated server\cstrike\addons\metamod"
But when i start counter-strike: source dedicated server, and i type meta in console, it says this: Unknown command "meta"
And GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin is gone. It's not in gameinfo.txt file anymore. It disappears from there always when i start Counter-strike: source dedicated server.
What is the problem?

If you're JUST trying to get a base installation of metamod, you no longer have to modify gameinfo.txt.

Download MetaMod 1.4.3
http://www.metamodsource.net/?go=dow...cemm-1.4.3.zip

Unzip into your /cstrike/ directory.

Go here: http://www.metamodsource.net/?go=vdf

Create your VDF file for your gametype and OS, place the generated VDF in your addons folder.

You're done. =)

I want to make server with couter-strike: source dedicated server, i didnt find it on that list, so i did this: F:\\Program files\steam\steamapps\myaccount name\source dedicated server\cstrike and i created the file, and i have that metamod.VDF file in F:\\Program files\steam\steamapps\myaccount name\source dedicated server\cstrike, but its not working. I have that metamod downloaded and its in addons folder. Console still says
Unknown command "meta"

Re: Gameinfo.txt help
 

When you unzip the zip file to /cstrike/ it creates a folder called addons.

Example: F:\\Program files\steam\steamapps\myaccount name\source dedicated server\cstrike\addons\

Counter-Strike: Source *is* in the list for the VDF creator, it's just called "Counter-Strike". Place your generated VDF file in the addons folder.

Your directory structure should look like this:

Cstrike <-- unzip the metamod zip file here
|-Addons <-- place .VDF file here
|..|-Metamod
|.....|-bin
