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 :



Now open the cstrike folder , that should look like this :



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…


At this point you have a counter strike server working on the net !
Turn it on by doubleclicking on the hlds.exe located in HLDS\cstrike .


The installer automatically installed Adminmod and Statsme on your
server.Adminmod helps you to administrate your server ( change maps,
set up cvars, kick players) and Statsme shows you the game statistics .
To see if they run properly go to the server [url=https://world-esf.board-directory.net/javascript:popupwnd('http://www.tutorialecstrike.com/consola_svcs.html','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes','yes' ,'50','100','750','400')]console[/url] and type “meta list” . If the message recived is Adminmod - RUN , Statsme - Run , everything it`s OK.
