How to guide on installing and starting a 64-bit Counter-Strike: Source or Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Day of Defeat: Source dedicated server

Prerequisites

Host already has steam user created and steamcmd installed. Guide: SteamCMD#Linux

Using user called server for deploying and running the server.

Note

If using different user please update steamcmd-scripts:

for steamcmdscript in css dods hl2dm hldm tf2; do
    sed -i "s#/home/server/#/home/${USER}/#g" steamcmd-scripts/update_$steamcmdscript\_ds.txt
done

Confirm libncurses5 libncurses5:i386 lib32z1 dependencies were installed

Quick-start

git clone https://github.com/noillt/64bit-source-dedicated-server.git && cd 64bit-source-dedicated-server
./install-server.sh css # or dods,hldm,hl2dm

Manually

git clone https://github.com/noillt/64bit-source-dedicated-server.git
cd 64bit-source-dedicated-server

Prepare dedicated server files

Note

This also applies to HL:DM, DOD:S, HL2:DM! Just replace css with {hldm,dods,hl2dm} in this guide and scripts

export servertoinstall="changeme" # to hldm,dods,hl2dm
sed -i "s/update_css_/update_$servertoinstall\_/g" README.md
sed -i "s/css-serverfiles/$servertoinstall-serverfiles/g" README.md
sed -i "s/css-serverfiles/$servertoinstall-serverfiles/g" run.sh

Install Counter-Srike: Source & TF2 Dedicated servers

Currently Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch dedicated server files are missing a steam api library and server run binaries for 64-bit. Because of that we will have to do these additional steps until Issue #7057 is fixed.

steamcmd +runscript $HOME/steamcmd-scripts/update_css_ds.txt
steamcmd +runscript $HOME/steamcmd-scripts/update_tf2_ds.txt

Copy over missing 64-bit files from TF2 server

cp -a $HOME/tf2-serverfiles/bin/linux64/libsteam_api.so $HOME/css-serverfiles/bin/linux64/.
cp -a $HOME/tf2-serverfiles/srcds_linux64 $HOME/tf2-serverfiles/srcds_run_64 $HOME/css-serverfiles/.

You can delete the tf-serverfiles afterwards

rm $HOME/tf2-serverfiles

Symlink the 64-bit binaries to themselves

Every *_srv.so file in css-serverfiles/bin/linux64/ needs to be symlinked to the same file without _srv.

# Example
ln -s datacache_srv.so datacache.so;
#...
ln -s vscript_srv.so vscript.so;

cd $HOME/css-serverfiles/bin/linux64/
for file in *_srv.so; do
  ln -s "$file" "${file/_srv/}"
done

Symlink steamclient.so 64-bit binary

export steamclient64bit=$(find "$HOME" -type f -name 'steamclient.so' | grep "linux64")
mkdir -p $HOME/.steam/sdk64/ # srcds_linux64 looks for steamclient.so in this directory
ln -sf $steamclient64bit $HOME/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so
ln -sf $steamclient64bit $HOME/css-serverfiles/bin/linux64/steamclient.so

Confirm working server:

cd $HOME/css-serverfiles
# Run the one matching your game
# css
    ./srcds_run_64 -game cstrike +map de_dust2 -debug
# dods
    ./srcds_run_64 -game dods +map dod_anzio -debug
# hldm
    ./srcds_run_64 -game hl1mp +map crossfire -debug
# hl2dm
    ./srcds_run_64 -game hl2mp +map dm_lockdown -debug
