[Guide][CS 1.6] Improving your server TIPS;Etc... Vol 1 :).


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello Maxcheaters i'm really bored these days and i've decided to make a guide about all server hosters. So let's start.

 

In order to have a nice and stable server you should first pick a nice machine + a nice internet connection so we all know that :

 

#In CS servers can hold up to 32 players maximum.

#In CS private servers there are different modes.

#In CS server there are always hackers.

 

So you should all know that for a CS server creation & stabilazing it so it can hold more players the only thing in parameters that should be increased is

 

~RAM

~Processor

~Cooling system [not always tho if you want a 24/7 online server YES!]

~Power Up system

 

These are components of the PC you should have boosted in order to maintain a normal Counter-Strike server, for example a better Sound/Video card does NOT improve your server while a bigger number in RAM sure does!

 

Internet connection should vary from

 

#4mb~8mb 10-15 slots server

#8mb~10mb 15-21 slots server

#10mb~16mb for a Massive server with 32 slots.

 

Ok so much about what internet connection and what PC specifics you need in order to host a server let's get to the part where your server might lag & what may cause that.

 

So in order to improve your server and provide a lag-free gameplay for all the server visitors you should first increase the frame per second for the players. A good way of doing so is restricting the Smoke Granade from the shop and enabling it only in 5v5 matches since if you don't know smoke granades cause a drastic decrease in the FPS to the guys surrounding the smokenade. Also you know they are a lot of plug-ins for CS servers and imho they are mostly useless and stupid. Try to avoid adding too much plugins to your server otherwise it may start to lag and to slow down operation speed which may cause further problems. So for example if you're doing a Classic server do not unnacesary plugins like ... parachutes... block... colored nades... or anything like that cuz they do not only spoil the gameplay but as i said before cause lag as well. Also i'd like to give some tips on administrators which would like to make different type of servers

 

For example

 

[Classic Server]

 

In a classic server there's shouldn't be thing like... colored granades, parachutes ... and things like that. Actually a classic server means an untouched core files server meaning they are no addons on it except the AdminMod. I've also seen ppl making classic servers and for example launching maps like awp_india on them. That's just stupid & retarded. These maps are not for a classic gameplay a classic map f.e is de_dust2 de_nuke and many more but mini-maps aim-maps are not to be inputted into a Classic server.

 

[KreedZ Server]

 

Nothing much that i can say about this one. I'd strongly suggest you do not implement AdminMod in a server type like this one as it cause lag , install only KZ plugin and that's it. Believe me you will not need an admin in a server with such type. Also you could also add ljstats plugin so players can see how long they jump after finishing climbing a certain map always bring more fun to the server :).

 

[superHero;War3;Diablo;etc]

 

That servers are highly modified with alot of things in them so I would strongly suggest that you make it a 15-16 slots server as 21 slots server with so many plugins and thingies aint fun + causes lag. In this type of servers you can add whatever plugin you like as it's for fun only.

 

[Hide'n'Seek]

 

No unneceserry plugins only hide'n'seek plguin + frostnade to make a fair gameplay. Some HnS plugins include a frostnade addon but some don't so...

 

[biohazard ; Zombie Plague]

 

Well that's a mode for fun only the important thing in those servers is to find a way to balance the two races ... Zombies and Humans adding a knockback while getting shot is an idea or making smth like a slow/frost nade so that it can disable  the zombies and give a bigger chance for survival of humans. Also I wouldn't recommend that you guys use the unlimited bullets plugin , it really unbalances the mode.

 

 

 

So now that we have that cleared let's move on. Well that is one of the main parts of creating a good & stable server and that's protecting it . So the best anti-cheat protection is SxE injected and believe me when i say it's the best it's the best. Still some ppl managed to crack it but there aren't many ppl that can bypass that anti-cheat even if they do you'll always have an admin guarding your server online so here's some more info about the sxe injected

 

sXe InjecteD Anti-Cheat 4rbpanb.png

 

-It detects no flash hacks

-It detects no recoil hacks

-It detects speed hacks

-It detects wall hacks

-It detects aim-bot hacks

-It detects alias commands

-It detects ESP features of hacks

and more...

 

Client Version:

 

Version 8.03 FIX! --> http://download.sxe-injected.com/downfile.php?id=1

 

Server Version:

 

Version 6.0.8.1 --> http://download.sxe-injected.com/downfile.php?id=2

 

 

Source : sxe-anticheat

 

Now that you have your perfectly done with a good protection and a lag-free gameplay don't you think it's time you satisfy the new players by increasing the speed of downloading the server files? I mean you all know that when you enter a certain server and for example it has an plugin/addon which you do not have so you have to download the  files in order to pay in there? Well i previously made a guide about it but i've decided to delete it and instead, to post it here so here it is :

 

For Newbie users

 

You'll be needing

 

1) Web server

2) Copy of the server files located in this web server

3) A samll modification of the file server.cfg

 

So here's the HowTo guide

 

a) [Windowns] You'll have to install the web server on your Machine where your CS Srver is located. The best packet is called Wamp

 

Download the latest version and install it. You'll have to know your way to the wwwroot folder, who you'll put in process of the guide. There, you'll be copying the files, who are going to be downloaded when someone enters the server. You'll have to make it so your web-server loads with Windows. The program called Wamp contains Apache2, PHP5 and MySQL 5 - so, your server can have a web site and/or a forum.

 

b) Copy some of the files that are located in the cstrike folder in wwwroot , in the folder which name is "files". Example : c:\wamp\www\files

 

Here comes the question  "What exactly do we have to copy from the CSTRIKE folder?"

Attention! Do not copy fails like server.cfg or the whole folder "addons".

 

Only these files must be copied :

 

.wad from/in cstrike\

.tga from/in gfx\env\

.bsp from/in maps\

.txt from/in maps\

.res from/in maps\

.mdl from/in models\

.wav from/in sound\

.spr from/in sprites\

 

So now the files will be available in an address like this one "Example : http://cs.server/files/maps/fy_pool_day.bsp" where cs.server is your ip adress [mostly IP]

 

c) You'll use the added H-F engine CVAR - 'sv_downloadurl'. He provides that place of the resources who must be downloaded. In cstrike\server.cfg you'll have to add in a new line

 

sv_downloadurl "http://cs.server/files/"

 

Once we replace that cs.server with the idress of your server, the CVAR would look like this , example :

 

sv_downloadurl "http://86.55.123.123/files/"

 

That is all!

Note: The maximum lenght of the cvar "sv_downloadurl" is 127 characters.

 

 

For Advanced Users

 

Add the following lines in the httpd.conf file located in apache\conf\:

 

Alias "/files" "C:/Server/CS 1.6 Server 1.9/cstrike"

<Directory "C:/Server/CS 1.6 Server 1.9/cstrike">

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

<FilesMatch \.(?i:wad|ztmp|bsp|res|spr|wav|mdl|tga|bmp)$>

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</FilesMatch>

</Directory>

 

You'll have to replace "C:\Server\CS 1.6 Server 1.9\cstrike" with the way to your server. Example :

Your game is located in C:\Games\CS. The way to it should look like this "C:\Games\CS\cstrike".

 

With the usage of this method you won't have to copy the files separately of the webserver, because Apache automatically will upload them from your cstrike folder.

 

Other Advantages:

After the successful installation of the webserver the next step can be installation of a forum [f.e phpBB] so you can make download sections for maps/sounds/bots etc...

 

Thats the end of the guide . Insparation given from iVoka! Guide translation from Bulgarian to English thanks to me + the for advanced users guide is mine as well. Hope you enjoy it don't forget to comment. That's all.

 

 

 

[Another Explanation of the guide's effect]

 

With this guide you can make the download speed bigger. F.e you have many custom sounds weapon skins etc and a new guy enters your server he can't actually play it because he has to DL the files first well he'll download them faster because the admin cares for the ppl that are going to join his/her server :P. Ask any questions i'll help!

 

 

Well that's all for now hope you liked my guide if you are ever to copy this guide please give credits to me :).

 

Any comments are welcomed. I might add a FAQ guide tommorrow but we'll see. As i said that's all for now.

Awesome! Thanks

 

By the way i saw many servers when i asked how much u pay the hoster for month he said none. Its cause of advertising? I mean they host ur server and u put their spirit files (or whatever...advertisements) and u dont need to pay anything?

 

Just asking cause i dont want to make server with 32 slots. I want 10-15 but i kinda dont have money for it. Maybe its not so expensive but hh i have 0$.

 

 

Ehm Sorry for bad english and kinda offtopic.

Usually CS servers are hosted on home machines as 21 ppl on a game thats barely even 600 mb doesn't really need a super-machine.

/Off

Well i have only 1.2 Mbp/s

So ... -.- Have any tips?

 

/On

By the way thanks for share AGAIN cause cheaters wont be able to pass! :) Yay!

That wont be enough for hosting a server ppl have have a lot of lag. But do you have 12 or 1.2 ? And we're talking about Upload speed not download. If you have 12mb - [1200 kb] upload speed you can host a nice server :).

    • hey i make enough to live comfortably you, on the other hand... doubt that'd be the case if you were as competent as you claim to be
    • all your doubts ask chatgpt, also ask what you could do yourself hahaha
    • This post originally appeared on MmoGah. Odin: Valhalla Rising is an ambitious open-world MMORPG developed with Unreal Engine 4, offering breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay. I will share everything you need to know before starting it.     Re-rolling In Odin, re-rolling isn't a practical strategy. Unlike most gacha games, where it's common to reset for better initial pulls, Odin focuses heavily on long-term growth. The earlier you begin playing and developing your character, the more advantages you'll gain over time. Instead of spending your efforts on re-rolling for ideal equipment, it's better to dive in and start progressing right away.   Server Selection Before starting your character, selecting a server is a crucial step. Since Odin doesn't support cross-server gameplay, coordinating with your friends, family, or guildmates is essential to ensure everyone creates their characters on the same server. Take the time to plan with your group beforehand. After deciding on a server, your next major choice will be picking a class.   Class Breakdown Odin features four primary starting classes: Warrior, Sorceress, Rogue, and Priest. Each class comes with its own distinct playstyle and unique strengths, so choose wisely, as your selection is permanent. However, even free-to-play players can create up to three characters on one server, giving you the flexibility to try different options and find the one that matches your preferences.   Quest and Leveling Once your character is created, your initial objective is to work through the main questline. This acts as both a tutorial and a method for early leveling. Odin simplifies the process with a convenient quest button that handles navigation, starts dialogues, and even enables auto-combat. This user-friendly feature allows beginners to grasp the basics of the game without feeling overloaded.   Auto Combat and No Kill-steal Mode Auto combat is an essential feature in Odin, enabling your character to battle monsters autonomously. This system allows you to effortlessly gain experience and loot, even while you're busy studying, cooking, or unwinding. To optimize its use, activate the no-kill-steal mode. This setting prevents your character from targeting monsters already engaged by other players, helping you avoid conflicts or potential PvP situations. However, if a quest becomes difficult to complete due to overcrowded areas, you can temporarily disable this mode to overcome the obstacle and move forward.   Item Management and Potions Don't overlook the importance of consumable items, especially health potions. These can be purchased, along with buffs, from general merchants in villages, and they play a crucial role in improving your combat efficiency and ensuring your survival. Always aim to keep a full stock of HP potions and carry buffs that boost attack, defense, or regeneration in batches of 5-10 for convenience.   Once you've acquired your consumables, assign them to your quick slots located at the bottom center of the screen. Swiping down activates these slots, and items like potions will automatically be used when necessary, so you don't need to worry about them mid-battle. Keep a close eye on your potion reserves, as running out during a tough fight could leave you vulnerable before reaching a safe area. In the early stages of the game, it's better to return to town for a restock if supplies are low rather than risking unnecessary defeats. You can also enable notifications to alert you when your health or potion count drops too low—a handy feature for staying prepared if your attention is elsewhere.   Leveling and AFK Farming Once you've mastered the fundamentals, the next step is to focus on leveling up and enhancing your character. Gaining levels is your primary source of progression early on, as it not only improves your stats but also unlocks crucial game features and new abilities. At this stage, simply sticking to the main questline provides a reliable and efficient way to gain experience.   Additionally, Odin includes a highly convenient idle feature called AFK mode. This allows your character to keep farming for resources and experience even when the game is closed, with a maximum duration of 8 hours per day. It's an excellent option for making progress while you're asleep, commuting, or otherwise occupied.   Gear Upgrades When the time comes to improve your gear, the initial focus should be on upgrading from normal-grade equipment to high-grade items. These provide significantly better stats and can be enhanced further to increase their effectiveness. Enhancing requires enhancement stones and gold, but it's important to stay within the safe enhancement limit. Attempting upgrades beyond this limit carries the risk of destroying your gear if the enhancement fails. Stick to safe enhancements until you've gained more experience and accumulated spare equipment to mitigate potential losses.   Skill Purchases When you've accumulated enough gold, it's time to invest in skills. These are crucial for enhancing your combat abilities and provide key benefits tailored to your class, whether it's increasing damage output, improving healing capabilities, or adding valuable utility. Before purchasing, ensure your character meets the level prerequisites for each skill. Your ultimate goal will be progressing through and completing the main questline in Midgard as you continue to develop your character.   Unlocking Jotenheim Finishing this milestone grants you access to the next region, Jetunheim, unlocking a variety of new content and challenges. This marks your first significant achievement in the game and is an essential early objective to strive for as you progress.   Joining a Guild Joining a guild is a highly beneficial step in Odin. Guilds not only provide opportunities for social interaction and group activities but also offer passive bonuses that can significantly enhance your gameplay. Even if you're not particularly active socially, being part of any guild is advantageous. The guild feature becomes accessible after completing Chapter 4, Quest 19 of the main story.   Guilds provide various perks, including buffs that scale with the guild's level. Additionally, you can earn guild coins by contributing through donations, quest completions, or regular logins. These coins can be exchanged for valuable rewards, such as epic-grade armor. The more you actively contribute to your guild, the greater the overall benefits for both you and the guild itself. Joining early and staying involved will undoubtedly strengthen your progression in the game.   Conclusion Here is the end of this beginners' guide. I hope these tips will help you level fast in Odin.
    • You can actually make a pseudomount code in your server, that way it can be displayed.. a friend made it for the l2off and i extended it a bit.. if u have l2off i might be able to help u on that
