Your Guide to setting up your very OWN counter strike server (NOW WITH LINKS!).
NOTE TO ALL :::: this is a WIN -side guide only.. i haven't the slightest clue when it comes to lin-side cs servers!!!!
Stuff you need:
1.) Computer... Preferably one with LOTSA LOTSA mem... (min to run a smooth 20 person server on a t1-t3 line is about 512mb)
2.) Fast Internet Connection (Ignore this if server is going to be Lan-side) You gotta have speed if people are going to be mooching bandwidth off of you to make lotsa headshots!
3.) An afternoon.
Programs you need:
1.) HLServer4110.exe (117mb)... This is the fastest Download.... (((( http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/windows/Games/HalfLife/hlserver4110.exe ))))
2.) csv15full.exe (121mb) .... Choose a mirror..... (((( http://www.lan-attack.ch/cs_downloads.htm ))))
3.) MetaMod (((( www.unitedadmins.com ))))
4.) AMX/AdminMod/HLguard (((( www.amxmod.net ))))
Installation:
Since you do not need the retail game of Half-Life to create a server, you must first figure out where to install it. The fastest servers run 2 hard drives, one for the Operating System, and one for the Server. 20 Gigabytes should be plenty of room for all your addons. Remember, maps will take up the MOST space.... make sure to have adequate room.
1.) Create a folder called HLServer or something of that sort.
2.) Install hlserver4110.exe to that folder, making sure that HLSEVER is the MAIN folder.... (for example, if you open HLSERVER you get different icons and folders, like HLTV and such)
3.) Install csv15full.exe into that HLSERVER folder.... Once finished don't create shortcuts to desktop - you'll eventually delete them anyway.
4.) By now, you should see a cstrike sub-folder in your HLSERVER folder.... This means you installed it correctly.
5.) Now for the fun stuff.
6.) Run the AdminMod script file (It is MUCH easier to install than metamod itslef and accomplishes the same thing anyways) Making sure to type in "cstrike" when it asks for which mod to install for.
7.) Now we shall do a dry run to see if your server is installed correctly. --- Right click on the HLDS icon in your HLSERVER folder, and send to desktop as a shortcut. Minimize all your windows and right click on the Shortcut to HLDS icon. Click on Properties, and add to the target these simple commands (it should read D:\HLSERVER\hlds.exe or where you installed it.... LEAVE THIS ALONE - JUST ADD A SPACE AND THESE COMMANDS AFTER IT!!!!
-game cstrike +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust
This set of commands will allow your server to play the mod counter strike, have a limit of 20 players, and make the first map de_dust.... You can tinker with the maxplayer number and the map, making sure that the map is also in the ...\HLSERVER\CSTRIKE\MAPS folder....
Now click OK, and double click shortcut to HLDS.... An MSDOS type box should come up and start with the line "WON Auth Server".... which means that your server has been detected by the WON master server and you can now proceed to load your settings.... if this is wrong.... REINSTALL - YOU GOOFED somewhere!
There should be a little paragraph talking about metamod version 1.5 Copyright WIll Day.... ETc etc......
IF THE ABOVE SHOWS UP - YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
Click on the X box to close this window.
8.) Now open \HLSERVER\CSTRIKE\Server.cfg
In here you will now be able to change the name of your server, the amount of time per map, and other configs..
9.) Open HLSERVER\CSTRIKE\Motd.cfg
In here you will be able to change what comes up in the first screen when clients accesss your server.
10.) Open HLSERVER\CSTRIKE\mapcycle.cfg
In here you can change which maps come after which, and which maps you want your server to run... (for example a 24/7 de_dust server, or a server that runs each map for 20 minutes...... IT"S ALL UP TO YOU!)
11.) This is where the major fork in the road occurs. - From here you can either use AdminMod, or a plugin called AMX to work as a server administrator while in the game....
Well, now you must follow the README's in either the AMX-mod's package or the Readme's in the AdminMod pack in order to configure your server correctly..... They are much more in depth than i could ever get.
Lan PArty Time:::::
Now, if you want to create a server for a LAN - or lan community - open up HLSERVER\CSTRIKE\server.cfg and add the line
sv_lan 1
Anywhere within that text.... then you and your colleagues will enjoy hours of endless, mind-blowing entertainment among the lan lines runing from computer to computer.
FROM UNDERNEATH THE LINE YOU WILL SEE THE CLAN(SCJ) server.cfg file..... copy and paste at will... these settings should be quite similar to your very own.
------------------------
// Use this file to configure your DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed everytime the server changes levels.
//FOR THE LAN PARTY!
//sv_lan 1
// disable autoaim
sv_aim 0
// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0
// default server name. Change to "Bob's Server", etc.
hostname "Another SCJ Server"
// maximum client movement speed
sv_maxspeed 320
// 20 minute timelimit
mp_timelimit 0
sv_cheats 0
// Execute the Admin Mod configuration file
exec addons/adminmod/config/adminmod.cfg
