[Tutorial] Start Cs Server with Windows

Credits:Fllyyper

The simplest would be the startup directory in the Start Menu

- Make a shortcut to hlds.exe

- Properties on the Shortcut to give hlds.exe

- The target added to the end so that the whole line look like:

C: \ blah \ blah \ hlds.exe-console-game cstrike + ip + maxplayers 20 (or how many you want) + map de_dust2-nomaster and what you want

- Shortcut to hlds.exe was that you put in your Start> Programs> Startup

Another option would be by creating a new service in XP - HLDS

- Download FireDaemon

- You install

- Starts

- Press the first button to the left (Create a new service definition)

- In the Program tab, the Short Name and Display Name write HLDS

- Select the box next to that says "Console Application"

- The executable select hlds.exe (you know where alpha)

- Working Directory to select the folder in which there hlds.exe

- Parameters to write-console-game cstrike + ip maxplayers ip.ul.tau.extern + 20 + map de_dust2-nomaster and what you want

- Then in the Settings tab, the Show Window select "Hidden"

- To select Automatic Start-up Mode

- To select Restart the Upon Program Exit Program

- Select casutza "Graceful Shutdown"

- Press the Install button down

Now every time I start the computer, hlds site will start automatically but you will not see this, you do not panic .. server actually started (that's if you did what I said above). How do you find it:>?
