Suicide Survival

Half-Life 2 mod | Released Nov 28, 2008

Suicide Survival is a Mod of Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. There are two teams so you either play as Survivor or as Suicider. The goal for Survivors is to stay alive (duh!) and to spot the Suiciders before they can get close enough of to you. They have the book “Gardening for Beginners” by Barbara Bush as a self-defence weapon. The goal for Suiciders is to sneak up close enough to the Survivors so you can blow yourself up. Suiciders play as shrubberies in a map full of shrubberies thus blending in with the enviroment. If they dont move you dont know which one is being played by a player. The game doesnt have a goal currently other then being simple team deathmatch. However its planned to transform it into a round-based survival with a time limit.

This tutorial explains how to setup a dedicated server for Suicide Survival 1.0.

Basic Server Tools.

Ok this is a very basic tutorial to get you started.

Suicide Survival is based on HL2 Deathmatch and running on OrangeBox code of the Source Engine. So you will need the "Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server" to run a server. Its the same as "source 2007 dedicated server" in your steamfolder/

But before you launch the tool delete the file "server.cfg" in Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\SuicideSurvival\cfg
There is some wierd erro which will prevent your server from changing levels if you leave the server.cfg there.

When you launch it you are giving a few options.

Most of those settings depend on your own liking and bandwith, etc. Just make sure you select the right Game and the right map.

When you are finished start the server.

Congratulations, your dedicated Suicide Survival Server should be up and running now.

If you dont see the server in the serverlist try to get some friends to join it.

You also might want to forward your port if you are connected over a router. If you dont know how to do that look here: Forums.srcds.com

Lastly: if you got your server up and running post the IP along with your settings or modifications and when your server will be up on the official forum.

Troubleshooting

So far there is only one common error i know of. When starting the dedicated server tool you get this error:

c:\program\gameinfo.txt is missing.

This error is generated because it can't read the space inside the directory structure, (I know its pretty stupid). The only solution that I know of is to re-install steam into a directory with no spaces.
NOTICE: make sure you backup your game files in the steam directory. Because when you deinstall steam it deletes everything!
