E2.1 dedicated server: script install problem

Failure:

Code:

Unable to load manifest file 'scripts/surfaceproperties_manifest.txt'

the server crashed, so i copied:

Code:

cp hl2/scripts/surfaceproperties* empires/scripts/

Now i get:

Code:

empires@s-server:~/empires/bin> ./start_empires.sh
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.

Console initialized.
Game.dll loaded for "Empires"
Host_Error: IDLLFunctions::DLLInit returned false.


Add "-debug" to the ./srcds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem
Mon Dec  1 06:35:27 CET 2008: Server restart in 10 seconds
Mon Dec  1 06:35:29 CET 2008: Server Quit

Any help?

Sounter-Strike Source has the same problem.

See Post #1

I also searched for the error

Code:

Host_Error: IDLLFunctions::DLLInit returned false.

Nothing. I even tried to comment things out in the surface file and the error remains. I tried using a empty txt file and the error still remains.

I also wrote to the Steam support system. But no answers yet.

 

Solved

I solved it.
Your srcds installation has to be placed in the first 3 directory levels.

/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/srcds_run WILL NOT WORK!
/aaa/bbb/ccc/srcds_run WILL WORK!

Just in time for the 2.2 release >_>
