would this work for a gmod server

[aries757]

https://gameservermanagers.com/lgsm/gmodserver/#gettingstarted it says a linux game manager, would this work as a console if i ran on cent os

[Bittenfleax]

It depends on the amount of players, what game mode and how many entities etc.

 

Not sure what you mean about it working as a console thought?

 

Yeah it is all command line if that's what you mean? You would most likely use PuTTY for managing it via the command line.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

According to them, you can do the follow to access the live in game server console:

./gmodserver console

Think of PuTTY as a remote way of managing. You can download it from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

 

Think of it as using CMD but for a server over the internet. You would type in the servers IP, and login over a secure connection. You can then send it commands and it will return things. Basically sending it commands from your PC.

 

There are lots of great videos about using PuTTY.

 

 

What hardware are you putting this on?

 

Or are you getting someone else to host it?

most server based applications should have a CLI (command line interface) for CLI only servers, many have support, mainly because it's easier to debug when developing a game or mod and you have more advanced options with some commands

 

but garys mod server i'm not sure if it has CLI support, valve might of implemented it but i don't know, i don't play the game anymore

Yes, you will use PuTTY to SSH into the server, gaining remote access to the command line that CentOS presents. You can then use the commands such as I said earlier (/gmodserver console) to look at the Gmod console.

 

Also, why CentOS?

not sure if i while use cent, but it says http://prntscr.com/d36clz connection refused or somthing, help pls?

[Bittenfleax]

Yes, I believe you need to install it and allow it through the firewall both on CentOS and on the host you are with. You will have to ask them about allowing incoming SSH connection through their firewall.

You can still use Windows Server 2012 or something. But you have to buy a license. I would try and learn CentOS. It would be a good learning curve, plus it's free!

It's been such a long time since I've done this but I recall gmod does include RCON support (Remote console support). 

Refer to this website and scroll down to the 'RCON- Remote Administration' Section

None of this stuff is plug and play and requires some learning. You also need to adapt its instructions to your own situation. 

The link I posted mentions a few details about setting up an RCON server to connect to your gmod server running on windows. I may be wrong, but I think gmod - being that it is Source - has the built-in functionality of an RCON server packaged together. So, if that's the case, you only need an RCON client software on your PC to connect to your server. 

 

Otherwise, if you want to setup your server on a Linux distro or the like, a service called SSH needs to be enabled on your server. 
I am not sure how to do it on centOS, but there are plenty of resources online to show you how. 

 

Just gotta spend some time doing some research

Well, hlsw is a client software for connecting to RCON enabled servers. Try it out on your server and see if you can connect. You should be at this page.

i askin where i download it, cant find it,

 

[FroTo]

I'm saying your server should have that functionality enabled. Try connecting to it with HLSW. Just make sure your configuration has RCON enabled.

This shouldn't be difficult to figure out.

 

Above your tabs labeled "Global", "Classic", "Administration", "Help", toggle the icon that looks kind of like a key. That is button to toggle the RCON Section. 

After that, A section below will pop up, allowing you to type in your RCON password and test connection. 

At the very bottom, are a few tabs, one of which is labeled "Console". That is where you type in your commands.
