Does anyone know how to start half-life in deathmatch mode (on a local server) from the command-line?

Add +deathmatch 1 to the command line options.

Dr. OrangeSource good.

You can also add other console variables like +sv_cheats 1, which I personally find convenient when testing maps.

Is there a way to pass mp_allowmonsters 1? I tried to add +mp_allowmonsters 1 and it doesn't seem to work.

Otherwise, what config file is used for servers that are not dedicated? Perhaps I could set that value in there.

+mp_allowmonsters 1

Any cvar can be set using +, just as long as the game doesn't reset it later on.

+1

Thanks. I think it is reset. I need to find the proper .cfg file that manages non-dedicated servers. I tried putting mp_allowmonsters in server.cfg, but it didn't work. Weird.

I think it's listenserver.cfg. Also take a look at autoexec.cfg

I'm pretty sure it's listenserver.cfg:

I'll try that tonight.
