I had this posted in a different section of the forums, didn't see this area before. I will simply copy and paste.
I have a dedicated server box, and I am trying to get an NS server up and running on it.
The valve files I have should all be up to date, I just purchased this server under a week ago and the files were all put on then. Even so I have tried to run hldsupdatetool to make sure, but for some reason it keeps coming back saying old ticket, or something like that. No matter what I try, I was able to update other files a couple of days ago, I'm not sure what this means to be honest, but it may not be a problem as I said the files should be all up to date. I will go back here in a minute and try it with a verify_all just to try that as well.
Anyways, when I start the server I get a bunch of cvars setting and then it has this error:
steamservice.cpp (275) : Assertion Failed: Failed to start in-process Steam Serv
ice
and then it tries to restart again and I get this:
couldn't exec config.cfg
L 08/14/2009 - 22:55:01: Contacting www.natural-selection.org...
Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.
Which it ends up being on the map boot_camp even if I set +map co_pulse in the shortcuts command line. I don't know what, if anything, is supposed to be in config.cfg for the server. But I don't have that file. And when I try to join the server it gives some stupid steam verification error. One I've never seen before. But I can still join other servers so it's not just me.
I saved the whole log file if you need any more of it. Best I can tell is it has something to do with this:
L 08/14/2009 - 22:54:58: Server cvar "sv_region" = "-1"
But server.cfg it's set to 0 are there any other files that affect this?
Also comes back later on as this:
L 08/14/2009 - 22:54:59: Server cvar "sv_region" = "255"
Right after the steamservice error.
And not to add further confusion to this, but I checked through the rest of the log and after that, every time it sets sv_region after that it sets it to 0. And still the problem.
I am going to try some stuff, like I said, to see what I can come up with. But I am quite confused, so if anyone has ideas, PLEASE!!

2. Do you have a text file called steam_appid.txt in the server folder with the number 70 in it?
3. Can you post your command line stuff you start HLDS with?
It should have stuff like this: +maxplayers 16 -game ns +map co_faceoff +exec banned.cfg +mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg"
EDIT
Command line is this:
-game ns -console +maxplayers 16 +ip 216.52.143.250 -port 27027 I've tried different ports as well. I did at one point have +map co_pulse but it wouldn't actually load co_pulse, it would try and then eventually default to boot_camp
I did a hldsupdatetool with -verify_all on the valve files. Said they were all good. I realize now what you meant about the folder thing....I was just confused by how you worded it. I do also have the steam_appid.txt and it does say 70
You know what...I don't have exec banned or mapchangecfgfile do I have to have those in the command line? Because I saw them in some file somewhere...
EDIT 2
I just tried with those 2 things same result. Before when I was connecting it gave a weird error message like I said in original post. I had a friend just try to join and it just wasn't responding. No error messages, just not responding for him. I will try and join it myself before too long. I just have a few things going on at the moment.
