hlds update missing files ?

avizeke

<div class="IPBDescription">hlsw missing files ?</div>hello.

from what i can see the hlswupdatetool.bin or tool is not picking all the files up and also shows inside console when game server starts.

i thought it couldnt be right so i deleted the full game and re did a new install and at the beginning of the install it shows missing files from the hlds update tool.

really wierd for me. ? any help on this would be appreciated

cmd line for ns2 :
C:\location\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "naturalselection2" -dir "C:\location\Games\ns2" -verify_all -retry

console output :

Changing setting 'lanGame' to: 'false'...
Changing setting 'mapName' to: 'ns2_tram'...
Changing setting 'playerLimit' to: '8'...
Changing setting 'address' to: 'xxx.xx.xx.xx'...
Changing setting 'serverName' to: 'SERVERNAME'...
Changing setting 'port' to: '27025'...
Press Tab to open the console window
Press Ctrl-C to exit

Those errors are normal, nothing speacial.
Those models are just not in the game yet.

ahh ok .

how do i know that the server is online then ? like is there a game server list or hlsw ?

so even though the game is released its still under heavy development, if there are missing models in hlds and there is no real live monitor system for all servers online, how long is it going to take for ns2 to be finished.
