Counter Strike 1.6 dedicated server installation on Windows XP tutorial
In order to install a Counter Strike 1. 6 dedicated server, you need :
a.Windows XP, processor 1000 ghz, memory 256 ram
b. Connexion to internet
c. 300 - 400 MB free space on disk
You shall have to follow a few steps :
1.Connect to the internet
2.Download here the CS 1.6 Server Creator installer and unzipp it anywhere on disk.
3.Create an new directory on your disk and name it HLDS . It can be named anyhow but we shall use HLDS because it`s classic .
4.Now doubleclick on installer.exe and when the selection window appeares you select the new directory HLDS . Hit OK and wait a few moments . A blue window will appear on screen displaying the scroll of the installation . At this point the installer downloads and installs all the server`s components in your HLDS directory. It can take some time to do it, depending on the internet connection , so have a little pacience .When the installer finishes his work , check out the HLDS directory and see if it has approximativly 315 MB .If it has , then everything it`s ok and if it hasn`t 315 MB you`ll have to repeat this step .Open the HLDS directory ; it should look like this :
[HLDS folder]
Now open the cstrike folder , that should look like this :
[CStrike folder]
Next step is to set the server up for accepting non steam clients . In order to do that download here the swds.dll patcher . Unzipp it anywhere on disk then copy it in the HLDS directory .You `ll be asked if you want to overwrite the file . The answer is yes, overwrite it ! Push the OK button. If you are a steam player and you future clients (players on your server) are also steam players, pass this step !
6. Next step is to configure te server.cfg in order to make your server work on the internet . Go to HLDS\cstrike folder and open server.cfg with Wordpad . Then look for the line sv_lan 1 and change it to sv_lan 0 . Simple as that…
