Yes, it's possible. You just need the server files from steampowered.com
Server files? I saw that u can DL Steam from there but I didn't find anything else :/
Here. The HLDS Update Tool.
Thanks SGT! Ok, where do I upload this hlds file to, and how do I execute it through an ftp program like flashfxp? I need some kind of GUI so I can change settings and all that, do I not?
Just install it. To run it, you need to use Command Prompt. I recommend this website to learn how to set it up.
Thanks for your help and all, but how can I install it?! I upload the file - check - now what?!
Follow the tutorial that was on the website SGT gave, I have used it and it works fine. Assuming your uploading to a windows server that is.
That website has a linux installation tutorial as well.
I got Linux but the TUT doesn't tell you how to execute files from an ftp software.
Unless you actually have a server, you can't do this.
