Line 19:

'''Note:'''Using service providers which use CGNAT (such as mobile providers or an increasing amount of residential providers) may make it impossible to host any kind of server.

'''Note:''"' Servers won't respond to [[Server_queries|queries]] until a map is loaded.

Line 25:

=== For modders ===

'''Note:'''The Source 2006 dedicated server has been removed from Steam, leaving only the Source 2009 version (its GCF says 2007, but don't be fooled). Mods, whether for 2006 or 2007, can now only be run from SRCDS installs. Errors about "SetupArrayProps_R" will appear if you mix versions.

'''Note:'''The HLDS Update Tool does not provide [[Lost Coast]], even though [[SDK Base]] does. Multiplayer mods should either not use anything from Lost Coast, or include what they do use in their dedicated server download.

Line 32 ⟶ 33:

# To start the server, run <code>orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game [[Game Directory|<vproject>]]</code>.

{{Tip|'''Note:'''If you already have the game client installed, you can cancel the tool with {{key|'''Ctrl+C}}''' once it starts downloading materials in step 1. You can skip the bulk of the downloading by extracting the GCFs already on your system with [[GCFScape]] instead.

* You will need to extract '''sounds''', '''materials''' and '''models'''; do the "source X" GCFs before the "source 2007 X" ones.

* You should end up with <code><server_path>\hl2</code> from your GCFs and <code><server_path>\orangebox</code> from the update tool.
