How to download and crack a Dedicated server for Garry's Mod 10

Step 1: Download and install [[Please login to see this link.]]
Step 2: After installed go to the folder where hldsupdatetool.exe is installed and double click on it and wait for the program to exit and then create a shortcut for hldsupdatetool.exe.
Step 3: Enter it's properties and write the following in the Target box after the hldsupdatetool.exe;
-command update -game garrysmod -dir .



Press OK and start the shortcut... Wait for it to download the necessary files for the dedicated server. If the window disappeared try running the shortcut again... If it disappears again that means that it's fully downloaded and it's OK for the next step.

Step 4: Now we gonna make a shortcut to launch the dedicated server directly in Garry's Mod and in console mode, because when it's in console mode then it reduces the lag.
Create a shortcut for srcds.exe, it's located in the same directory where the hldsupdatetools.exe is, but as this game is an Orange Box engined game, it's located in the orangebox folder.
For example: C:\srcds\orangebox\
Now create a shorcut for srcds.exe enter this from the Properties window in the Target box after srcds.exe; -game garrysmod -console



This is just the necessary launch parameters to launch Garry's Mod Dedicated Server, but you can specify your custom port, start with a map when launching the server and add how players can join your server
Add after the -console parameter; +port 27016 (or any port, or leave the defaut, 27015) +map gm_construct (or any map located in the dedicated server) +maxplayers 24 (or less/or more).
Now it would look like this: hlds.exe -game garrysmod -console +port (your port) +map (your map) +maxplayers (xx)

Here's my example:


Now, the moment that you've been waiting for a long time... THE PATCHING!!

Step 5: Download eSTEAMATiON Steam Emulation System v1.8 from this thread and ViTYAN's GameServers Universal Patch(VUP) v2.0 Beta 8 at the bottom of the topic.
Note that the password it's INSIDE THE ABOVE THREAD!
Step 6: Extract eSTEAMATiON.v1.8-ViTYAN.rar to a blank folder, and copy those files from inside the Source and Source 2007 Engines folder to the server's bin folder (where srcds.exe is, in this case it's in the orangebox folder) and replace everything. Remember, extract it to the bin folder in where srcds.exe is located in the orangebox folder.
Step 7: Extract uni-gmsrv-up-2.0-beta-8-vityan.rar to a blank folder, and copy the engine.dll file from your [ROOT]/bin to the new folder you've created in the Release(Windows x32) folder. If your Windows is 64-bit, then copy it to the Release(Windows x64) folder. Create a shortcut for vup86.exe (vup64.exe in Release(Windows x64) folder if your Windows is 64-bit) and add the following after vup86.exe/vup64.exe into the Target box: -esteamation-prep engine.dll
After you've done patching and everything went OK, copy the newly patched engine.dll file from the Release(Windows x32/x64) to [ROOT]/bin folder and replace it.
After this copy the cfg folder from the extracted folder into the server's root.
Go to the cfg folder in the server's root and edit the esteamation.cfg file. Everything is noted there, and I won't cover this now.

And voila, everything is done! Try messing with the server, test it out.
Feel free to ask about this

Note: [ROOT] = Garry's Mod's Dedicated Server's root directory

Big thanks for vityan and for his great release
Without him the servers wouldn't be what it is...

at me don't work....i can't crack the engine.dll....could you upload a cracked engine.dll?

Try patching server with VUP 2.0 final from ViTYAN's Server/Client Projects thread...

I'm trying to apply this cracked dedicated server tutorial to a Left 4 Dead demo server and the non-steam clients still say "The server requires that you be running steam" while attempting to connect. Do the clients need a patched engine.dll as well or maybe some sort of other modification?

AMEN to that!

Sorry for the bump, But this helped me alot. Alot of people are complaining about how to crack their servers. This explained it all.

You can always bump tutorials that are not outdated.

P.S. Nice that atleast one guy uses this section

Be sure to write your directory after
-dir "HLServer directory"

For example my shortcut says "... -dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\HLServer" (Running Vista x64)

öhm
i dont understand step 4:
After downloading HLDSUpdatetool i installed it and startet it!
Afetr than i created a shortcut on desktop with "-command update -game garrysmod -dir" in the properities (without "")
After starting the Shortcut, black windows disappeard after 1 sec. Starting the Shortcut a second or tirth time has the same result.
Now in my HLDSUpdatetool Folder (Saved in C:\HLServer) there are only 6 Files.
*clientregistry.blobb
*hldsupdatetool.exe
*HldsUpdateTool_35.mst
*HldsUpdateTool_readme
*Install
*UNWISE

did i do everything right?

Now i dont understand what to do:

Does it mean, the srcds.exe is in the same folder like my HLDSUPDATETOOL.exe (for me, it is: C:\HLServer)? but i dont have a file called like scrds.exe (read above).
Or does it mean, the scrds.exe is in the GMod folder?
OR Does i have to install the scrds.exe at first?(in steam --> tools?)

*confused*

Help would be very nice!
(answers in german favored, but english is ok too :=) )

so far...
