The installation part assumes you have created gameserver user without that user having any sudo or root permission.
Caution
Only follow these instructions, if you have NOT installed steamcmd or SRCDS yet. You will need to log into the above-mentioned gameserver user account.
SRCDS Controller currently only supports Linux installations, and isn't recommended for Windows installations.
Arch Linux:
pacman -Syy lib32-gcc-libs lib32-libcurl-gnutls lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar zxf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
CentOS:
yum install ncompress libgcc.x86_64 libgcc.i686 glibc.i686 zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar zxf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
Fedora Linux:
dnf install libstdc++.i686 ncurses-compat-libs.i686 libcurl.i686
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar zxf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install lib32z1 libncurses5:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386 lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6 libtinfo5:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386
wget https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar zxf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
Once you have finished installing steamcmd and unzipped the tar file, you still need to download the TF2 SRCDS files.
Important
You will need to replace /home/$USER/srcds/ to /home/$USER/mvm/ if you wish to install an MvM (Mann vs. Machine) server.
The script only works if there is a TF2 SRCDS installation under those paths specified above.
./steamcmd.sh +force_install_dir /home/$USER/srcds/ +login anonymous +app_update 232250 +quit
Caution
You must install these packages under the root user or with a user that has sudo permissions.
Arch Linux:
pacman -S nodejs npm
npm i pm2 -g
Void Linux:
xbps-install nodejs
npm i pm2 -g
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
dnf module install nodejs
npm i pm2 -g
Debian / Ubuntu:
apt-get install nodejs npm
npm i pm2 -g
Important
The script doesn't require sudo permissions therefor allowing you to run script under the gameserver user.
You need to create an int folder in gameserver's root (/home/gameserver/int). The shell scripts exist in case your servers are unable to start or crash on startup. You can create the required files by invoking the script with command line arguments:
./gen -g tf -t mvm
./gen -g tf -t cas
./gen -g tf -t comp
After the script has been successfully executed, you need to move the files from /home/gameserver/srcds-controller/int/ to /home/gameerver/int/. Also, files generated in /home/gameserver/srcds-controller/tf/cfg/ has to be moved to the root directory of the SRCDS installation (/home/gameserver/srcds or /home/gameserver/mvm/)
For CSGO:
./gen -g csgo -t casual
./gen -g csgo -t competitive
./gen -g csgo -t deathmatch
Warning
There are no support for CS:GO yet. You need to check back to see if there is any updates regarding CS:GO support.
Navigate to /home/gameserver/int and invoke the run.sh script, this will start a PM2 Daemon with your servers.
