SteamCmd: loaded files but they're not there

[The Great Grey]

I'm trying to start a dedicated Gmod server on my Mac OSX yes I said it my Mac OSX. I know I did everything correctly cause I did the whole force_install_dir thing and then proceeded to app_update 4000 it begins to download it finished and then I proceeded to validate after that I go to the folder to find no files are there. After that happened I had the strong feeling of just chucking my Mac out the window so any advice

What is your +force_install_dir set to?

Macintosh HD/Users/k9Hell/Application Support/GarrysMod_server

Macintosh HD/Users/k9Hell/Application Support/GarrysMod_server

There's your problem- Macintosh HD is not a valid directory.
Try this:

~/Desktop/GMod_Server

• Installing to the Application Support directory would probably give you a "permissions denied" error (or the likes).
  
• ~ is for the current user using the command.

Make sure you wrap that in quotes, else it will NOT work.

EDIT: It's always good to have a bit of experience with a bash shell- this being an example. I've used Macs since I was... somewhere around 6 months old.
I'm 14 now- and yes, I have moved over to the PC world, but that's only because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lazy coders. I'd be using a Mac still if coders in this world would take the few days it takes to learn a language that is almost identical to C (Objective-C is the language in question).
So, yeah, I know my way around a Unix system... decently at least. :P

You'd probably want to write a shell script for it...
That, or you could probably follow this guide[maurits.tv]- which will explain more than I ever could.

EDIT: After reading the guide, it all seems simple- get Wine, install it, download the Windows version of the GMod dedicated server (if you haven't already), and run it thorugh Wine.

EDIT 2: Ignore anything it says about the HLDSUpdateTool- this was the tool used to update SRCDS before SteamCMD was released.

I would definity like to make a shell command since I have a minecraft server and I've done that before and how its come up to my liking so by any chance do you know how to that or can you refer me to a website

Hmmm... shell scripts are weird.

#!/bin/bash
./srcds_run <params>

I'm still a bit rusty on shell scripts, but I think that might work.

since I know some things about shell scripts isnt there suppose to be a file somewhere in there for it to run and I tried it and this is what came up

OH and what is <params>

k9Hell$ /Users/k9Hell/Desktop/Gmod_server/start.command ; exit;
/Users/k9Hell/Desktop/Gmod_server/start.command: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/Users/k9Hell/Desktop/Gmod_server/start.command: line 2: `./srcds_run <params>'
logout

Anything in <>'s is a variable in coders' terms.
It means start parameters, such as -hostname, +map, +gamemode, etc.
You can view a full list of SRCDS parameters here.
Garry's Mod parameters would just be CVars, such as sv_lan, sv_cheats, etc.
A list of said CVars and commands can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=170589737

EDIT: Would add, but my friends list is too cluttered as it is. Sorry. :P

thanks once again

That's your problem...

Origineel geplaatst door https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Application_IDs:

• 4000 Garry's Mod
  • 4001 Garry's Mod Content
  • 4020 Garry's Mod Dedicated Server

4020 is the one you want- 4000 is if you were installing it to be a client.

oh kk I feel like an idiot but yet when I put that id it says its not a game id
