This short tutorial will guide you on how to create a Dedicated Server for Team Fortress 2 on a Windows-based computer. The current tool used for doing this is the Steam Console Client Tool (or Steamcmd). Steamcmd is an application that will completely install the latest version of the server content to your computer. If it is already installed when running Steamcmd, the tool will update the existing Dedicated Server installation to the latest released version. You can install TF2-server by downloading the Steamcmd from: Once you have downloaded this, run the tool from a command shell and a text windowed installer will automatically update/install your server.

To save time and bandwidth when downloading files, it is wise to install the Steamcmd into the root folder of an existing Dedicated Server installation. An example command line option: steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir C: tf2_server +app_update 232250 validate +quit You may save this command line to a text file, rename it with the.bat extension which will convert it to a batch file. This batch file can be run any time your server needs an update. For more detailed installation instructions visit: on the MOTD The MOTD (' Message Of The Day') is the message which appears upon successfully connecting to your server. A MOTD can be a simple message, or a complex website page.

The difference between the two files, is that if the motd_default.txt file contains any web programming language of client side (,, ), whether writing directly to the file or displaying the content by providing a URL to the file, but the user has decided to disable HTML MOTDs - the content of motd_text_default.txt file will be used instead. If the motd_default.txt contains any web programming language in it, whether directly or via a URL, the game will render the code using Internet Explorer. Both files are limited to a size of (2,048 characters). A possible workaround for the files limitations (i.e., the size limit) is to place a link to a hosted.html file on the web.

For example placing this as your motd.txt: will display the motd.html file. For a tutorial on how to create a MOTD that seamlessly fits into the TF2 chalkboard, visit: Maplist The Maplist is a file used to list all maps that are playable to the server.

If you decide to use a custom map voting plugin, make sure you put the map name in both the maplist.txt and the voting list for it to work correctly. SRCDS (Source Dedicated Server) allows for easily editing of this list of playable maps. Which is found in orangebox/tf/maplist.txt To add custom maps, drop the.bsp file into the orangebox/tf/maps directory and then find the maplist.txt at orangebox/tf/maplist.txt in your server directories and then add its name on a new line to the list (when listing map names, use the exact name of the.bsp file, without including the.bsp extension). Cheating Prevention VAC Valve Anti-Cheat will automatically detect and ban many users that are using programs used for playing unfairly on server (examples being speed hacking, aimbot use and in some extreme cases, usage of sv_cheats related commands such as noclip). Is enabled by default on all servers and requires the administrator to expressly disable it by adding the -insecure line to the launch options Server Settings Outside of VAC securing a server, the first line of defense against cheating is the server variable (console command) sv_pure.
