This is an article on installing the Source dedicated server and extracting the required content to run Obsidian. By following this tutorial, you will be able to run a dedicated server and play Half-Life 2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 single player maps. If you don't wish to run a server with Episode 1 and 2 content, disregard the content mounting for that.

Create a bat file and throw this inside:
 
−
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "orangebox" -dir C:\***srcds folder***
 
−
And run the bat, with the ***srcds folder*** changed to your srcds directory.
 
−
This will download Orangebox content so it sets up your directories.
 
  
−
While your at it, download "Counter-Strike Source" content as well. Just replace the "orangebox" with "Counter-Strike Source" and run the bat again.

You should now have an orangebox folder.
+
===Install HLDS Update Tool===
−
Before you enter this folder right click on the "hl2" and "cstrike" folder which was downloaded by the hldsupdatetool when you downloaded CS:S
+
{{Windows

and press copy.
+
|'''hldsupdatetool.exe''' (Don't run it in the destination folder)
 +
}}
  
−
Enter the orangebox folder and paste the hl2 folder you copied previously. You will need this for models and such.

{{Linux
 +
|'''chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin'''
 +
|'''./hldsupdatetool.bin'''
 +
}}
  
 +
{{Mac

−
Inside the orangebox folder, create two new folders, "ep2" and "episodic"

==Extracting Source Game Content==
+
{{Windows
 +
|C:\HLServer
 +

Setting up the folder structure

You should now have a folder structure that looks pretty much like this:

WindowsWindows

hl2\

orangebox\srcds_run
orangebox\steam_appid.txt
hldsupdatetool.bin

Now you need to do the follwing step ( valve didn't make the orangebox\hl2 folder right ):

WindowsWindows

rmdir /s orangebox\hl2 ( or just delete the hl2 folder in orangebox )
xcopy /s /e hl2 orangebox ( or just copy the hl2 folder to orangebox )
