Install a Counter-Strike 1.6 Server Non-Steam

Connect by SSH to your VPN.

-Change directory to "/usr"

Code:

cd /usr

-Make a dir named "hlds"(it can be anything you want, but i used hlds in this tutorial)

Code:

mkdir hlds

-Download and run hldsupdatetool:

Code:

cd /usr/hlds
wget http://download.fioriginal.ro/cs/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin

if you receive an error about "uncompress" run this:

Code:

ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress
./hldsupdatetool.bin

now run this until it shows "HLDS Installation up to date"

Code:

./steam -command update -game valve -dir .

Now we have an empy, steam only cs 1.6 server.

run this until it shows "HLDS Installation up to date"

Code:

./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir .

No Steam Engine Download

cd /usr/hlds/

wget http://download.freakz.ro/engine.v15.tgz

rm -rf engine_amd.so 
rm -rf engine_i486.so 
rm -rf engine_i686.so 
tar xfvz engine.v15.tgz

install amxmodx

Code:

cd /usr/hlds/cstrike/
wget http://download.fioriginal.ro/cs/amxmodx-1.8.1-base.tar.gz
tar xzvf amxmodx-1.8.1-base.tar.gz
wget http://download.fioriginal.ro/cs/amxmodx-1.8.1-cstrike.tar.gz
tar xzvf amxmodx-1.8.1-cstrike.tar.gz

install metamod

Code:

cd /usr/hlds/cstrike/addons/
mkdir metamod
cd /usr/hlds/cstrike/addons/metamod
wget http://download.fioriginal.ro/cs/metamod-1.19-linux.tar.gz
tar xzvf metamod-1.19-linux.tar.gz

now open in a ftp client the file cstrike/liblist.gam from your hlds directory and replace this

Code:

gamedll_linux "dlls/cs_i386.so"

with this

Code:

gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/metamod_i386.so"

install dproto

Code:

cd /usr/hlds/cstrike/
wget http://download.fioriginal.ro/cs/dproto-0.9.87.zip
unzip dproto-0.9.87.zip

Enter in a FTP client in the /usr/hlds/cstrike/addons/metamod folder, create a file named "plugins.ini" and put these lines:

Code:

linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
linux addons/dproto/dproto_i386.so

now you need to configure your host by editing the server.cfg file from cstrike folder

an example:

Code:

// Server Name
hostname "server name"
rcon_password "rcon password"

// Server Cvars
mp_friendlyfire "0"
mp_footsteps "1"
mp_autoteambalance "1"
mp_autokick "0"

mp_hostagepenalty "5"
mp_allowspectators "1"
mp_timelimit "35"
mp_chattime "10"
sv_cheats "0"
sv_aim "0"
sv_allowupload "1"
sv_allowdownload "1"
sv_maxspeed "320"
sv_gravity "800"
pausable "0"

// Round Cvars
mp_freezetime "0"
mp_roundtime "2.5"
mp_startmoney "800"
mp_c4timer "45"
mp_fraglimit "0"
mp_maxrounds "0"
mp_winlimit "0"
mp_buytime 0.35

// Bandwidth Rates
sv_rate "5500"
sv_minrate "0"
sv_maxrate "0"
sv_maxupdaterate "0"
sv_minupdaterate "10"
decalfrequency "10"
sv_unlag 1
sv_maxunlag .1
sys_ticrate 1000

// Server logging
log "on"
sv_logbans "0"
sv_logecho "1"
sv_logfile "1"
sv_log_onefile "0"
sv_logdownloadlist "1"
sv_consistency 0

// Internet Settings
sv_lan "0"
sv_region "255"
sv_contact "adresa de email"
sys_ticrate 2000
sv_downloadurl "http://download.fioriginal.ro/cs/resurse/beta/"

exec listip.cfg
exec dproto.cfg

// Masters
setmaster add 65.73.232.251
setmaster add 65.73.232.253
setmaster add 67.132.200.140
setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27010
setmaster add 72.165.61.136:27010
setmaster add 69.28.151.162:27010
setmaster add 69.28.151.162:27013
setmaster add 72.165.61.136:27013
setmaster add 72.165.61.151:27013
setmaster add 188.40.40.201:27010
setmaster add 213.239.209.221:27010

now edit amxx.cfg

to add admins you should edit the users.ini file.
At the end of the file, delete

Code:

loopback

and add your admins, one per line:

Code:

"nick" "pwd" "acces" "a"

Replace nick with the nickname of the player, pwd with the password and access with the access flags.

Access flags:
a - imunity - can't get lua kick\ban\slay\llama\gag ...etc
b - reserved slot - has a reserved slot in that case the server is full
c - access to amx_kick command
d - accesss at ban and unban
e - access at slap and slay
f - access at amx_map
g - access at cvars
h - access at configurations
i - access at chat commands ( amx_chat , amx_psay..)
j - access at vote commands (amx_vote, amx_votemap)
k - access at server password - can change it
l - access at rcon password and the rcon commands
z - simple player - WARNING! Don't use this for admins!

You can start the server in 3 ways:

First,

Code:

cd /usr/hlds/

1. Run the server in console:

Code:

./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip your.external.ip +port 27015 -pingboost 1 -nomaster +maxplayers 22 +map de_dust

OR

2.Run the server in background:

Code:

screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip your.external.ip +port 27015 -pingboost 1 -nomaster +maxplayers 22 +map de_dust

or

3.The most comode way:

Create a file named 'startserver' and type:

Code:

#!/bin/bash ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip your.external.ip +port 27015 -pingboost 1 -nomaster +maxplayers 22 +map de_dust &

Now run

Code:

./startserver
