Creating C S 1.6 Server

This plugin features almost all the commands and stuff an admin want for fun amd managment of a server. To install this plugin just follow the basic steps defined in installing an AMX MODX plugin post. But regardless to that I am telling the step once more. You need AMXX 1.8 to run AMX Super plugin.
Step 1: Place amx_super.amxx in your server's addons/amxmodx/plugins folder
Step 2: Place Amx_Super.txt in your server's addons/amxmodx/data/lang folder
Step 3: Open plugins.ini found in addons/amxmodx/configs
Step 4: Add the following line at the bottom of the file:

amx_super.amxx
amx_super_menu.amxx

Step 5: Save and close plugins.ini
Step 6: Restart your server or change the map
Done!

Awesome trailer really nice quality, brings out the true game sprit. I really like this one as it motivates me to start gaming the effects are really cool and so is the movie.

One of the good movies I like to story line, but a one time watch. As always Shahid looks cute and I like his new attitude of a pop star in the film. The print is good worth watching online.

Hey guys I have started this new section for those who likes spending their free time watching counter strike videos. I will be posting all the videos I like the most hope you enjoy his new section. The very first video is my all time favorite The Chaos Theory by Nemesis this video features The Chaos festival at IIT in which over 2000 players participated. This is one of great works of Nemesis one of the best movie makers I know. Right know I am uploading the video so you guys have to wait a little.

Installing PacSteam can some time be very confusing so I decided to show you how its done rather than explain it to you. Just follow the simple steps. PacSteam Main Site

If you have any problem in this tutorial then please send in your comments.

As you all know that all HLDS runs on default rates unless defined by the user in the server.cfg file located in the cstrike directory. When you run your server on default rates it requires much more bandwidth per user and causes lag if the number of user exceeds the available bandwidth, but what most of servers admin's don't know is that the server can perform really well if configured according to the bandwidth and the number of user can be increased, the only drawback of rates is that if configured too low the aim of the server becomes bad, by aim I mean that the user will not be able to aim properly as we are reducing the data that is transmitted between the client and the server so the accuracy of the server will overall decrease but this is much more better than lag and it also helps in using the available bandwidth more effectively. Before we start we should know what are the different rate and what does they define.

1. Rate : It is a client side command means that it will work only if entered on client (player) console. It defines the amount of data that can be sent to the server by the client or vice-a-versa at any instance.

2: cl_rate: It is a client side command. It defines the amount of data the client (player) can request from the server at any instance.

3: cl_cmdrate: It is a client side command. It defines the amount of data the client (player)  can send to the server at any instance.

4: sv_minrate: It is a server command means it will work only if entered in the server console or defined by the admin in the server.cfg file. It limits the minimum amount of data a client can request from the server at any instance.

5: sv_maxrate: It is also a server command. It limit the maximum amount of data a client can request from the user at any instance.

6: sv_maxupdaterate: It is a server command and it limits the maximum number of update a client can request from the server.

7: sv_minupdaterate: It is a server command and it limits the minimum number of updates a client can request from the server.

8: cl_updatrate : It is a client side command. It define the number of updates a client can request from the server per second.

PacSteam is one of the most interesting and intelligent project started by some geniuses who believes that gaming should be free for all of us actually its a cracked steam client which help you to download games from steam server and play it on cracked gaming server. Its just like non steam CS but the irenic is that you have all the steam advantages like friends chat, community etc. All that steam enables you to play not only this it has various utilities like steam buster which enables you to play games without steam and in offline mode. I will be telling about how to install PacSteam and download games using it in future posts.This was just the introduction.

'ffa.cfg' is the server config file which is executed at the end of the match in order that your server can be played by everyone =)

'warmup.cfg' is the warmup session config file. Add any cvars of plugins here that you want changed during the warmup session

'amxmd.cfg' is the main match config file. Change default cvar values in here. You can also add config files and match lengths into this file.

'pug.ini' contains the default match command for PUG style gameplay

'hltv.ini' contains the hltv password that the match plugin uses to record hltv demos

'defaultmaps.ini' contains the default maps for your mod. Note: The plugin searches your map directory for any maps that aren't in this list;
This file can be used to list your maps, but make sure to not delete the default maps from the file.

/!\ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE SQL MODULE, YOU HAVE TO COMMENT THE LINE "#define AMXMD_USE_SQL" AND RECOMPILE THE PLUGIN (read AMXX readme/doc). /!\
http://wiki.amxmodx.org/Configuring_AMX_Mod_X#SQL
Note: If you are not getting stats added to your database, search your log files for:

[AMXX] SQL Connection Failed

If you are getting that error, there is a problem with your sql.cfg file, or your SQL server is not configured correctly.

1. Open web/config.php
2. Edit config.php file for the correct information:
   • $mysql_host -- Hostname of your SQL server (Can also use ip address, e.g. '127.0.0.1')
   • $mysql_username -- User name of your SQL server
   • $mysql_password -- Password for the username used
   • $mysql_database -- Database name on your SQL server
3. Upload files to your web server

/!\ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE SOCKETS MODULE (FOR THE HLTV), YOU HAVE TO COMMENT THE LINE "#define AMXMD_USE_HLTV" AND RECOMPILE THE PLUGIN (read AMXX readme/doc). /!\
To configure your HLTV:
In order to be able to control the HLTV, you must know the rcon password. HLTV rcon can be set using "adminpassword" command in the HLTV console
HLTV Checklist:

• Load your HLTV.
• Set the HLTV adminpassword by using adminpassword <rcon> command in the HLTV console. Then connect it to your server using "connect ip:port" in the console.
• Set the HLTV adminpassword in the 'hltv.ini' config file.
• Load your match on the server using amx_match or amx_match2
  1. If your HLTV is already connected, you should see it say " HLTV correctly configured =)".
  2. If you don't see that, it means that the HLTV adminpassword hasn't been correctly configured.
  3. If your HLTV isn't connected, it will try the adminpassword that you've set when it enters the server.

Note: If you are using specific sv_maxrate sv_minrate sv_maxupdaterate and av_minupdaterate then edit the cal.cfg and calot.cfg as it set the server rates to

sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minupdaterate 0

Hi guys in this post I will be telling you about how to reduce lag of the server by running it on real time priority, as we know that every OS of Windows defines a priority for an application running so that it can effectively manage the resources thus it limits the CPU usage. If we increase the priority of our HLDS then we could use as much system resource as we can get and make our server more responsive and reduce lag in this method the over all CPU consumption rises. To set your server on real time all you have to do is open task manager (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del) then click on Process Tab then right click on "hlds" then go to priority and select Realtime.

This Application can be used to boost the server fps. As you know that the default fps of the server is 63 fps and thus by boosting the server fps we can make our server more responsive and thus reduce the ping as well as lag. Let me make it very clear that the server fps has nothing to do with the visual fps but it determines the number of time the server will check for input for user and thus increasing the responsiveness of the server. I have uploaded the file all you have to do is to download the zip file extract it and place it in C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\cstrike\addons (By default)

Then open the plugins.ini file located in

C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\cstrike\addons\metamod

And add the following line

win32 addons/booster/booster_mm.dll

After this open the server.cfg file locate in

C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\cstrike

And add the following line

exec addons/booster/booster.cfg

To download the file click on the following link.

http://w17.easy-share.com/1700909704.html

If you have successfully installed this plugin the your server can attain 512 fps or more depending on the hardware configuration.

Hi guys in this post I will be telling about the steps required for installing an AMX MODX plugin. Before starting I assume that you already know what is AMX MODX. So lets start with plugins, plugins are small codes or programs written to do some special function in the game for example the Ultimate Sound plugin plays special sound on special events in game. So when you download a plugin you are provided with various files, all you have to do is to place the files in their respective folders provided in cstrike/addons/amxmodx a list of file types and the folder in which is should be kept is given below.

After placing the files in respective directories all you have to do is to open the plugin.cfg file located in cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs and add the name of the plugin (the name of the .amxx file) at the end of the file.

You can find Plugins at :

http://www.amxmodx.org/compiler.php

NOTE: The entry in the plugin.cfg file should be exactly same as the name of the .amxx file if not then it will not work.

Ok guys if you are reading this then I should assume that you already have a steam/non-steam server and you have installed the AMX MODX on your server. To make anyone admin first you have to locate the user.ini file it located in the cstrike/addons/amxmod/configs folder of your server. Open that file in notepad and at the end of the file you can add yourself admin in three ways.

1. By The Counter Strike Name: In this method the user have to enter a password for verification otherwise he will be kicked out of the server if he tries to enter the server with the admin name so this keeps others from using your name also. To make anyone admin by their counter strike name just add the following line at the end of user.ini

"Counter Strike" "password" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"

2. By The IP address: This method is very useful if you are hosting a LAN server and the users connecting to your server have a static IP. To make anyone admin by their IP add the following line to the user.ini file in the end.

"IP address" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "de" 

3. By The Steam ID: This is the most suitable method if you are hosting a steam server as every player joining the server has a valid steam account and a valid steam ID. To make anyone admin by their steam ID add the following line to the end of user.ini

"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"

NOTE: You can use all the three ways together also.

As now you guys have a steam/non-steam server and which can be found on Internet and people can connect to it and play, so now its time to manage your server efficiently for this you need AMXMOD X with this mode you get access to some very useful commands like kick a player, slay a player, ban a player and many more. So to install AMXMOD X you need to download the core installer.

http://w16.easy-share.com/1700793466.html

I have uploaded one for you so you don't have to Google it just download it and install it. This will install the AMXMOD X installer on your computer, now you have to select the MOD directory that is C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\cstrike (by default). 

NOTE : Please don't forget to enter the  custom game addon that is counter strike otherwise some of the modules will not be installed.

As you now have a HLDS server and if you are behind a router, then other will not be able to connect to your server or see your server in Internet server search so you have to do port forwarding so that other can find your server and connect to it. Port forwarding is the way of transferring the data coming to your router IP to the computer IP the server is running on the port used by HLDS is UDP 27015 and 27020 so you have to transfer these port. For port forwarding you can go to http://portforward.com/routers.htm

Over there just select your router model and Half Life Steam server.

Once the application is installed press windows and R key together that will open run window. Like one shown below.

Now just press enter and a Dos-window will open and let it complete actually that Dos-window is downloading the latest server from steam so let it complete if you close it you have to start again ... (not really it supports resume :) ) the screen shot is below.

Once a download complete congrats you now own a dedicated server. So there are two thing you can do either start your server and start playing on a very laggy untweak server or give some more time tweaking it and play on a nice lag free server.

Non Steam:

Guys the server you have now is a steam server and will only allow user having steam account to play on it and kick the rest so to make your server non steam you have to apply the patch i told you all to download in the requirement blog. So if you don't have it then please download it. All you have to do is to extract it and copy and paste in the server directory. This patch will allow no steam client to play on your server.

Now the number of user your server can support with out any lag depends on your upload speed if you run a larger server on a small upload speed it will result in lag and high ping/latency . The number of player you can accommodate on your server according to your bandwidth is given below.

Minimum System Requirement:

The minimum requirement for running a good server is 1 Gb RAM P4 processor (above 2.0 Ghz) and SATA hard disk for fast reaction of the server to the user and a fast Ethernet card (LAN card) 100/1000 (installed by default).
