[TUT]How To Start A Dedicated Server

[`Rοmeο]

1.Now first what you have to do is you need to log into Garena and then,go to settings**(once you enter a room) and then change the Executable Settings to HLDS. Bootstrap paramater can me anything. It doesnt matter. Didnt get what i just said? Check this...

 

 

2.Now,click on start game and a little green box will pop up.Now let me break it down on what each of those in that box means.

 

 

Game - Counter Strike

Sever Name - Input the name of the server

Map - Choose the Map for the server

Network**- Choose the Network you want to play on

Max number of players - Input the maximum number of players that can enter the game(depends on your internet speed)

UID Port : Input the UID port of your choice. For eg: if you input UID port as 27016,your ip will be like 192.168.29.27016. Understood?

Rcon Password : Rcon stands for Remote Control. Now when you enter a password,it becomes the password one needs to know for him to access the admin abilities of the server. (Mind you this is NOT the password FOR the server but just the password to CONTROL the server. In my case,icyfox26)

Anti - Cheat - It just secures the server with VAC (optional)

 

Now,click On Start Server!

 

 

3.Now,another green box will pop up. This means that your server is officially started! Now,you need to join your own server right? For that you need an ip right? So,go to run,type in cmd. Then,a black box will open up. There,type in "ipconfig" (without " "). Now,you will get 3 ip like numbers. The first one is yours and you need it to join your own server.Didn't get that? Check this

 

 

4.Now,take that number (in my case 192.168.1.4) and then,click on counter strike on your computer. ( NOT via Garena. As you are already hosting a Dedicated Server via Garena. Click on counter strike outside of Garena,i.e,Play counter strike normally without connectivity to the internet.) Enter the game and then in the console type in "connect *ip* " (without " "). In my case,i should type in connect 192.168.1.4. There is no need for a " : 27015 "**in this ip. Just type down exactly what you saw in cmd.

 

5.Well,thats about it! You are officially in your own dedicated server. Now,you can either control the Server form outside the game with the help of the Dedicated console,or you can go into the game,go to the console,and then type in rcon_password *password* (in my case, i will enter my server and type rcon_password icyfox26). Once you**have done that,you will become the admin of the server. Now, you can't just simply type in commands like sv_restart 1 and stuff. If you need to control the server,you need to type in "rcon *command* (without " "). For eg - rcon sv_restart 1 , rcon changelevel de_inferno,etc.[/align]

 

 

Well,thats about it for this tutorial! I hope it helped everyone. You may now make your very own Dedicated server .
