<div class="IPBDescription">Instructions Needed...</div> Sorry i know iv been a pain but im absolutely useless in depthness of the HL engine.
<b> First problem: </b> I keep making up LAN games by going to the beta main menu on steam and selecting 'Create Game'.
I have made sure that 'LAN Game' was UNTICKED. Yet still, no one is able to join my server and i dont even think its online. When i make bots on the server they wander as usual, but when i press ESCAPE to go to the menu's, the entire game Pauses. I check the list of online games to see if my game is in the list, and its not.
I have dragged files into my nsp folder, those files in the Dedicated server beta3 patch. Nothing has changed in the menus (from what i see).
I need step by step instructions on how i can setup an ONLINE server, and play it on the same machine.
I know iv been a pain in the **** asking lotsa questions. But respect me as a nOOb, it should be a privalage to you that i want to learn. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<b> And my bonus question: </b> Where is the AMX files that support Beta3 Steam, cos when i add the files i know to metamod it just crashes when i start, not to mention it never allows me to use voice_loopback 1 ever again and wipes out my custom spray <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Is it possible someone (who uses his/her working amx mod) could send me a folder with all the working files in amx mod for beta3-4a so that its already working for me?

You are making a listen server by selecting Create Game, this means when ever you press Escape(or load console) the game will stop from anyone on the server.
Next you need to type 'sv_lan 0' in console, this will auth with the Steam Servers and show you up on the server list.
Another problem you need to check is that your not behind a router/Firewall , if you are behind a router check ur manual on how to open ports and allow 27015 to access your machine. If your behind a firewall make sure that Half Life has the option to be used as a Server turned on.
The server ip will be , yourIP:27015 , find your IP <a href='http://whatismyip.com/' target='_blank'>here</a>
To check the server is up and running either add it to your Favorites list on steam, or use a 3rd party program like <a href='http://www.hlsw.org/index.php?language=English' target='_blank'>Half Life Server Watch</a>
Edit:
Port 27015 on the Router/Firewall needs TCP and UDP access.
Im sure that can support a ns game of no more than 14 players right? 10 probably being rcbots.
I think TCP and UDP access is automatically alright for me.
I have HLSW ^_^ \\//,, Peace.
