Hello fellow gamers!
I want to make a CSS server using SRCDS for me and my friends to play on.A lot of my friends don't have Steam so they won't be able to play until I patch the server, and thats why I'm here.My SRCDS is up-to-date so that's no problem, and they have the orangebox Setti CSS that has been patched up-to-date(v75) so that won't be a problem either.

How do I crack/patch SRCDS so non-Steam players can play on it without the 'Steam validation error'? Oh and before someone tells me to go to the tutorial section, I've already been there and the link from bir3yk.net does not seem to work, even though I registered and logged in there.Oh and btw I'm on Windows 7.

Thanks in advance
Luke

Hey Luke,

you have to install RevEmu in order to patch your server. You can also try LumaServerPatcher, I heard that it should be the better alternative for Windows, but I haven't tested it.

You can download RevEmu here: http://rghost.ru/41028077
Once you extracted the archive, you will find 4 folders. Now copy the content of the "server" folder to your own server, so rev.ini is in the same folder like srcds.exe. Open steam_appid.txt and change it to 240 (440 = TF2, 240 = CS:S).

Then start your server, it should be patched now! If not, reply here :)

Thanks for the quick reply headHUNTERZ

I've tried the RevEmu method and it doesn't work, it still rejects them with the 'Steam Validation error'.As they were trying to connect, in the server console it said something like 'invalid UserID:3'

However, now I will try the LumServerPatcher and report again

Here is an easier way.
If you have already downloaded the ''[color=#ff0000]Counter-Strike: Source Orange Box NoSteam [Setti]'' and you have installed [color=#ff0000]all the Setti patches, then [color=#ff0000]copy the game folder and [color=#ff0000]paste it to another lacation of your HDD. Then download and install the latest snapshots of [color=#ff0000]Metamod and [color=#ff0000]Sourcemod, configure all the necessary [color=#ff0000]cfgs, make a [color=#ff0000]bat file [color=#ff0000]or a shortcut for the ''srcds.exe'' file and you are [color=#ff0000]DONE.

Thanks that won't be necessary, at least for now because the GreenLuma patch seems to work like a charm.I'll be able to tell officially in a few days.

Thank you all for the effort, I respect that :)

I have another question, regardless of cracking servers.

How do I install SourceTV on my server? so I can record the games and cut out the best moments

SourceTV is always installed, you just have to activate it (server.cfg). Have a look at this page and search for 'autorecord' ;) https://developer.va...m/wiki/SourceTV

Thank you

Now I have a different problem.My friend can't connect to my server, he gets 'Connection failed after 4 entries'.It means my servers not really up, does it?

Sounds like a firewall/port forwarding problem.

Yep, you have to forward a few ports in ur router.
These are the ports:
UDP: 1200; 27020; 27000-27015
TCP: 27015;27030-27039
If u dont know how to forward ports, google it. Im pretty sure there is a tutorial for ur router too.

Install Metamod (don't forget to upload the VDF file!), then SourceMod and then this plugin: https://forums.allie...ad.php?p=950174
You can search for additional SourceMod plugins here: http://www.sourcemod.net/plugins.php

I don't know what you meant with 'upload' VDF file I just downloaded it and placed it in the addons folder, then I install MM:S without a single problem, but when I extract SM to my srcds/cstrike folder my srcds.exe won't start. I need help :S

Yes, placing the file in the addons directory = uploading ;) Do you get any error messages?
