<div class="IPBDescription">HLDS doesn't seem to update on it's own</div> From the Steam <a href='http://steampowered.com/index.php?area=news' target='_blank'>site</a>:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Server admins please note that this release will require all game servers to restart. If you run a server on Windows, you'll need to restart manually; Linux servers will restart automatically if the server admin has enabled that option.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I honestly don't know what Linux servers are doing at this time, but presently, my NS and Svencoop Win32 steam servers don't update on thier own after being restarted. I have to do it manually with the hldsupdatetool.
My hunch is the automatic updating, referenced above, only works for the official mods, CS, DOD, etc.
For those of you not familliar with the HLDSUpdatetool (maybe you downloaded the full HLDS install), here is a quick guide for win32 to update your server to run NS:
<ul>
<li>Shut your server down.
<li>Open a Command console.
<li>Browse to the root of your server.
<li>Type <i>hldsupdatetool -update valve . username password</i>, where username is your steam e-mail address.
</ul>
This might take a few tries to work. When it's done, start the server back up and you're back to fragging <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
If you need more detailed help, just post here or hop on #nsserver on gamesnet, and bug CrackerJackMack, he loves it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
