Counter-Strike 1. ImBenny Joined 12y ago. URL to post:. The default user name and password is 'admin'. If this does not work the best advice I can give you is to Google your Router and to contact your ISP, if you rent the router form them, or the Routers Manufacture.
Now this is where it may differ from your model. Find a feature that has something to do with Ports, security or address translation. For my model I go to security. Yours may differ.
Again follow the online guide. The port to forward is , forward this to your servers IP address Also you will want to disable your routers firewall for the server. Try to find something like that. Now everything should be set for a basic HLDS. Try to connect and make sure that you can still connect. In order to have friends connect you need to give them another IP address, Find You IP Now add after this number and give this to your friends.
Mine is Now you may want to just stop here and be happy or maybe you want to customize it a little more. Say add custom maps and features. The next steps are optional. Adding maps are simple. Search for Counter Strike Maps on Google or go to the following web site. There are many maps available there: CS-Maps. DON'T remove any other files from the other folders that you may have installed to, some maps share such things as sound clips and models. But if a map calls for these and they are missing your server will crash!
Now you are not done. You will need to edit the file called mapcycle. Add the name of any map you have downloaded or remove the name of the maps you have deleted. Make sure to spell them correctly. The order they appear on the list is the order in which they will play on your server.
Now you have installed Maps. This will add many custom features such as an easier way to change maps! You must have played on those servers that play a sound when you get a head shot or show your damage at the end of each round. By itself AMX only shows the damage statistics and allows control by an admin; slapping, slaying and banning are some of the features along with map change.
After that you can install any plugin you wish. I would provide a direct link or all the folders for quick download but they may be updated at times and those links and files would go bad so you will have to do it the old fashioned way.
First you need to get Metamod. Download the latest Windows binary by following the previews link. Now to install AMX: Go to this link and download the following two files 1.
Make sure that you did not lose the files form to previous steps. If you did reinstall Metamod again. AMX is now installed! Installing Plugins are easy! Download these two files and follow the directions below. Now to configure to your liking. If you wish to see live damage done and received do noting and exit.
These two plugins are my favorite and work very well. Of coarse you can not install them if you like. Now both plugins are installed. Most plugins are installed this way and plugins can be found at the following link: Plugins. Here is a list of basic AMX commands you will want to use. NOTE: In order to access these commands you need to make yourself an admin on your server.
Very helpful. Copy contents. In order to see stats with POD Bot you will need to configure amx. Search AMX for more. So now you can play on your server but there are not always people you can play with on your server. By installing POD Bot you will be able to play on your server any time. First you will need Metamod from the previous step. Read though and change as you like. I suggest at least enabling auto kill so that when you die the round will end and you won't have to wait.
Make the auto kill time 5seconds. Now in order for bots to work with your maps they need to have a way point file for that specific map so they know where to go. Finding and downloading most way point files are easy! Go to cs-maps. You should see in the search results your map and a file with the prefix 'wp'. The pre-installed maps already have the way points so unless you added maps you will not need to add way points.
If you can't find a way point file for you map do a Google search for it or search at this forum: Way Point Forum if you still cant find it post to the forum requesting one.
Make sure to add a link of where you got the map you want the way point for! That's it! By now you should have a functioning server. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I will try to answer them if I can. Any Comments are welcome. If you see an error or you think a piece of code is not working tell me. This was a longer Instructable then I expected and It will be difficult for me to catch every error.
I am not responsible for an damage a HLDS server may cause to your computer There has been none to mine and for any rules you may be violating by running a server without permission from your ISP.
This page has been added after the initial making of this Instructalble. In this section I will share a few things I learned and quite possibly go on a rant or two. When I first started my server I had no one connect for weeks. How did I do it in 3 months?
Here are a few Keys to remember; 1. Play on your server ALL the time. I know it gets boring playing with bots but players will not connect if there are only bots. Offer incentive to play. AMX automatically calculates rank and many players will strive to reach the top 15 but there also needs to be larger incentives. From the very beginning I offered Admin to any player who reaches 1. This was my key. I was very fortunate to find 5 very good players who took up admin.
I had more then 5 admins but these ones were constantly on. One was on even more then me and many thought it was his server. Careful when offering admin. Just because they are friends don't offer admin.
At first i offered it unlimited to any one then it was for as long as you where 1 or if I liked you. I did get a few admins who played for 2 weeks and have never showed up again and 1 who was abusing and who I almost banned. Make it unique and friendly.
To make it unique i had automated messages that would inform about the servers location, how to become admin. Pretty much in game advertising. I also had "key works" When chatting there were specific works such as LOL that would display a special message, "Player is laughing, i hope it was funny" there are so many servers out there and you must make yours unique to stand out.
Good players.
