Server
Setup
Due to the extreme amounts of
action in Follow Freeman we recommend players use a dedicated server for
the best performance possible. We have found a dedicated server runs the
game about 8 times faster than a conventional listen server. but don't
worry you can still play on the lan, you just need to download and
install the free source dedicated server available through steam.
First you need to have the Source Dedicated Server for this to work.
1 ) in STEAM go to the tools tab in games and make sure you have the
Source Dedicated Server, if you don't, double click on it and steam will
install it
2 ) make sure the path is something like
Steam\SteamApps\username\source dedicated
server
3 ) restart steam if its still running
4 ) in STEAM again go to games, your tool tab and double click on Source
Dedicated Server
5 ) on the first tab change it to HL2:Coop "follow freeman" and make
sure its on INTERNET for network, then set-up the rest to your fancy
ALWAYS START YOUR SERVER IN THE READYROOM
(if you dont, the game will not work properly)
6 ) start the server and watch it fill up
Elimination mode is ON (means if you die your out and have to spectate)
so type in "cl_elimination_mode 0" to turn it off (noticed people
talking about that one)
oh and to join the server, go to your LAN tab in servers and you should
see your server.
Finally just to add that this should work with any new releases and
spread the word!!!!!
