How To Make MOTD Image For Counter Strike 1.6 Server

Hell guys,

I think MOTD image of the server is very necessary for a server to present about the individual of a clan. For that Purpose I m sharing this post. Read carefully.

Initially a MOTD is image which appears before entering into the server. This can of 2 types.

• Writing the text directly or uploading it on to the host server and inserting the URL into one piece of html code.
• Inserting the text into the html code.

First Procedure – Designing a picture

Chose a picture here or any other. If you chose to use your own picture you will have to resize it first. Download here, Paint Net photo editor. Install it , open it and in the upper left corner you will find File -> Open . Chose the picture from your computer and open it. In order to resize it click Image -> Resize . Check “By absolute size”, uncheck "Maintain aspect ratio" and write the following sizes :

• widith : 766
• height: 383

You have your picture sized and ready for your motd. Now you`ll have to write the text. In order to do that open the Tools and Colors (if they are not already opened, click Windows menu and open it there). In the Tools menu you`ll find the writing tool represented by the letter “A”. Chose the color of your text in Colors menu and write the text on your picture. Save the image when you are done ( File -> Save , name it and save it as gif, jpg, png or bmp).

Uploading the picture on a file hosting server and inserting the url into the html code

In order to do that follow this link and make an account there. Upload the picture to your account, click Files -> Main folder (see the image) . You`ll see a small thumbnail of your picture. Click on it and the picture will open. In the upper left corner of it you`ll see the needed URL address wich you`ll have to copy (see the image). Copy that URL into this piece of html code :

This code you`ll have to copy into HLDS\cstrike\motd.txt after you deleted the code that is already there. Save and close motd.txt.

DONE !!

Adding Bots To Counter Strike 1.6 Server

Here is the important information which is very rarely found on internet. Here I ll discuss with you about how to add bots to counter strike 1.6 server.

Steps involved to add bots:

Note: Before starting note that AMX MOD should be installed for adding counter strike bots as mates.

CLICK HERE to install AMX MOD.

1. Download the file named PODBOT and JOEBOT.
   
2. Extract the files on anywhere on your disk
   
3. Copy the files present in podbot to your hlds\cstrike\addons directory
4. Copy the contentd of joebot folder in cstrike folder of your server
5. Now open Server\cstrike\addons\metamod\plugins.ini in notepad and add this line in end. Win32 joebot\joebot_mm.dll
   
   
6. Now start your server and have fun
   

The above procedure described works specifically for cs 1.6 that is counter strike 1.6 version... though it should work well with other versions too..!

How to Start A Server With Death Match Mode In Counter Strike 1.6

We see a lot of servers (steam/non steam) starting death match mode. Here is the demo for installing a DEATH MATCH mode.

Steps for installing Death Match:

• First Download the file here
• Then extract the zipped file any where on your disk, and open the extracted folder which is addons.
• It contains AMXMODX folder, which contain 5 subfolders.
• Now open your hlds folder and browse to amxmodx folder, which also contains the same 5 subfolders.
• Copy the contents of subfolders which you have downloaded to your server folder (copy it into corresponding folders only).
• Once done, restart the server and you ll see the death match mode.

If the installation is successful, here is some commands for admin which will help you:

csdm_enable - starts the death-match mode
csdm_disable - stops the mode
csdm_reload - reloads the mode's configurations
csdm_menu - show the menu on screen
edit_spawns - opens the re-spawn menu to add and erase spawns (on the newer maps you have to add spawns, otherwise the players will always spawn in base itself.)
Guns, /guns, menu, enablemenu, enable_menu - if you give one of these commands the weapon menu reappears.

Enjoy:-)

How to Create a Quick Counter Strike 1.6 Dedicated Non Steam Server !!

Hi friends,

Let me start with how to make a counter strike 1.6 dedicated server. This is the easiest method and quick too.
NOTE:This method is applicable for Windows only.
Steps for Creating Server:

1. First download the CS 1.6 Server Creator installer file here.
2. Then Install the downloaded file which requires 315mb approx. free space .
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 .
5. A command prompt window will appear on screen displaying the scroll of the installation .
6. 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 patience .
7. When the installer finishes his work , check out the HLDS directory and see if it has approximately 315 MB .
8. 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:
90% of work i.e setting up server is done. Now next step is to configure the server.cfg in order to make your server work on the internet i.e it is displayed to all client . Go to HLDS\cstrike folder and open server.cfg with Wordpad or Notepad. Delete everything and paste this:

Edit your server name and any other cvar you like (only if you know what you are doing). Save the file and exit.

Add these lines in server.cfg . They will make your server visible in game`s Internet list of servers.

We are done, now double on hlds.exe, choose map, rcon, number of players and start the server.

You ll see the server starts running.:-D

Counter Strike 1.6 Lag, LOSS, Choke Problems Solved Here

Counter Strike 2009 Lag,LOSS,Choke Problems Solved !

What is Tickrate?
Valve explains Tickrate as: "During each tick, the server processes incoming user commands, runs a physical simulation step, checks the game rules, and updates all object states. After simulating a tick, the server decides if any client needs a world update and takes a snapshot of the current world state if necessary. A higher tickrate increases the simulation precision, but also requires more CPU power and available bandwidth on both server and client." DONT CONFUSE IT WITH sys_ticrate

What is use of good tickrate ?
Sometimes you may have heard players saying that their bullets dont register or they are framing.Sometimes you may shoot some players behind a player & still able to hit him a headshot.This all happens if u have low ticrate server.

What is tickrate of my server ?
When your server is running, type "sv_maxupdaterate" in console, it will tell you the tickrate of your server.
Commonly used tickrates are 30 or 60 or 101 but it can lie anywhere between 20-100

You must be thinking that if 101 ticrate server gives better performance why doont everyone run 101 tickrate server
Answer is running server on high tickrate costs more resources & bandwidth on both server & client sides

When play on a 30 tickrate server, type 'net_graph 3' in console.
Click Here
As you can see that 6.50 k/s is the bandwidth being used
on a 101 tickrate server bandwidth usage will be much more
Dont waste your time running a server if you dont have adequate bandwidth
To run a good server with 101 tickrate you need 1Mbits/s upload and download bandwidth

How to set tickrate of your server ?
Open you server's cstrike\server.cfg

For 101 Tickrate---
Change these values
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_minupdaterate 101
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 25000
fps_max 101
sys_ticrate 250

For 60 Tickrate---
Change these values
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_minupdaterate 60
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 12000
fps_max 101
sys_ticrate 250

For 30 Tickrate---
Change these values
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_minupdaterate 30
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 7000
fps_max 101
sys_ticrate 250

A simple advice is that you must not install HL Booster.It just screws up server.

We did some research on it and found that it only controls sys_ticrate value in realtime
so if u put sys_ticrate 250 your server will run very fine
If you increase this value above 250 you wont see any effect on Internet but on LAN it will.

NOTE:Achieving 101 tickrate on a server is not possible without Pingboosting. Ping boosting is done on server side
But it can be done only on Linux not on windows.

Where can i change tickrate of server?
Server's Tickrate cant be changed via RCON or any other tool
You need to have access to server console

That was a explanation for Host or Server

Now comes Client or Player

If u play on a 101 tickrate server with settings those of 30 tickrate you wont see any difference
You should always play on these settings...these should be put in config.cfg of your game
cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101
rate 25000
cl_interp 0.1
fps_max 101

If u get choke even if you are using these settings, then it is possible that server is running on low tickrate
Try lowering your cl_updaterate to 60 & see if choke is decreased
Do same untill you have 0 choke
That was how to solve choke problem

If u have loss problem,that means there is some packet loss between you and server
This indicate some network connection problem either with your connection or server's

If you are only one who gets loss, it is problem with your connection

I Hope it solves your lag problem to certain extent.

How to Configure your MODEM or ROUTER for CS1.6 Server

Your Ad Here

Remember : All the Modems/Routers are manufactured on the principles of Computer Networking....hence they should allow every authentic user to have no problems in inbound/outbound packet transferring capabilities......It s always us who are not able to configure it properly...

There is very slight to no difference in configuring any modem...as explained here..

Please use your common sense while you configure modem/router webpage (explore each and every tab of Modem/Router page and get as much information about it as you can).

It is equally essential to configure your modem to let outside data packets to interact with your Already running Counter Strike 1.6 Server.

If you notice that Your serever is not listed in the Server List Display inside you game.

This is where you need to think that your Modem may not be rightly counfigured for outside data acceptance.

Note:It really doesnt matter much which modem you have....most of the default settings work just fine (nowadays most of the ADSL2+ Modems are autoport forwarding).

That’s all now your ports are successfully portforwarded.

Now to find your External Ip go to whatismy.com or try Whatismyip.com

and now give that ip in this format to your freind so that he can connect to your server

example 122.144.34.32:27015

where

122.144.34.32 is the external ip shown by whatismy.com

27015 is default port on which u r server is running

How to Reduce Lag or decrease latency on Counter Strike1.6 Server

Your Ad Here

Newly Updated Post

Lag has always been a major issue for CS1.6 players !
Many people are obssessed to make their server over crowded without realisng the upload capacity of their server........At this point the server starts to lag.
Players capacity sholud always be in accordance with the Upload capacity of the internet connection.

Assumptions :

1. You are using Windows XP

2. You have atleast 512 Kbps upload speed .

Steps:

• Host your Server directly on RAM not on your Hard Disk.... Read this on How to do it
  

• Change HLDS.exe/Server priority to Highest in Task Manager (use ctrl+shift+Esc for taskamanger).

Explaination:Start the server, press CTRl + Alt + Del, click Processes, find hlds.exe in the list, and right click on it, Set Priority - Realtime.

• Use HLDS in console mode

Explaination : Go o the hlds.exe folder (from where you have opened the server),make a shortcut to the hlds.exe, then you will find in the same folder another file "Shortcut to hlds". Right click on this one, press Proprieties, and in the first row you have Target, and there yo have something like HDD:\location\hlds.exe .
Now simply add -console -game cstrike +sys_ticrate 1000 +heapsize 250000 +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2

You should change the value of +maxplayers only.

Note: I Personally don't recommend pingboost of anykind....coz by general observation you may find more laggy than usual.

• Delete all temporary files ( start-->run-->type temp) and temporary internet files.
• Fix your Winsock fror default internet connection speed. (download and install this)
• Kill other unnecessary running processes, in task manager.
• Donot play counterstrike1.6 using same directory in which your server/HLDS is running.
• Close all internet consuming applications (opera,firefox,IE7,downloaders,bittorrent softs.)
• Disable automatic updates (Start---> Run--->type-->net stop "automatic updates" ).
• Defragment your server/HLDS drive.
• Run disk clean up for all drives. (Best is to make separate partition for CS1.6 HLDS server , as it will dramatically reduce searching and sorting time).
• You must Remove custom.hpk file from cstrike directory.
• Use may use these codes below and paste in server.cfg, file in cstrike folder:

alias "dslow" "sv_minrate 2500;sv_maxrate 2500;sv_minupdaterate 5;sv_maxupdaterate 5;echo dead slow"
alias "vslow" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 3500;sv_minupdaterate 13;sv_maxupdaterate 13;echo very slow"
alias "slow" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 5000;sv_minupdaterate 14;sv_maxupdaterate 14;echo slow"
alias "norm" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 7500;sv_minupdaterate 15;sv_maxupdaterate 15;echo normal"
alias "fast" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 9999;sv_minupdaterate 20;sv_maxupdaterate 20;echo fast"
alias "vfast" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 20000;sv_minupdaterate 20;sv_maxupdaterate 60;echo LAN fast"
alias "rates" "sv_minrate;sv_maxrate;sv_minupdaterate;sv_maxupda terate"

Add the file server.cfg to the script, in the cstrike folder where you have installed the server.
Usage: After you have started the server, write in the console what setting you want, considering the type of internet connexion you have, and also considering the type of computer that you keep the server on. For exemple, if you have a server on lan, write in the console vfast, or if you have a server where you have players in the same network you can use fast or norm. You can acces this script by "rcon" considering the variation of the lag on the server. you should not have any setting about the rate in server.cfg, listenserver.cfg, game.cfg, settings.cfg, amx.cfg etc.How to reduce the lag on the Counter Strike 1.6 server

• Add all of these lines to server.cfg ,file in cstrike folder :

  log off
  sv_logbans 0
  sv_logecho 0

HLDS Update issue / Cannot use Hldsupdatetool.exe !

Recently someone asked me that he cannot use hldsupdatetool.exe as he is getting following error, show below

While running the "hldsupdatetool.exe" file have you ever gotten this error message:

Unable To Update: Renamed Hldsupdatetool.exe But The File Is Still there

This can be fixed like ...

1. Run "hldsupdatetool.exe" via command prompt, 2 files should be created in the directory; "hldsupdatetoolNew" and "hldsupdatetoolTmp".
2. Rename "hldsupdatetoolNew.exe" ---> "hldsupdatetoolX.exe" (replace X with whatever you like)
3. Run "hldsupdatetoolX.exe" via command prompt, it should now update "hldsupdatetool.exe" with the latest version of the update tool.

We get this error because in Windows you cannot update a file which is in use....(similarly like you cannot eject safely a Pendrive/USB disk which is currently in use.) so when we use hldsupdatetoolX.exe,it updates hldsupdatetool.exe (coz its inner coding tells to update Hldsupdatetool.exe not HldsupdatetoolX.exe) , which is what we want.

Hence Mission Accomplished.

How to Create Fastest CounterStrike Server

Your Ad Here

Hi Folks.... I bet you none of the availible sites gives you this trick for Fastest CounterStrike Server.

Servers Supported (Tested ,Both Steam and SteamLess):

• CounterStrike 1.6
• CounterStrike Condition Zero
• CounterStrike Source

Scenario:

Now a days SSD's (Solid State Devices) is a Buzzword, very high speed harddisk having accesstime as low as 0.1 ms (normal 7200rpm drives have 16ms)....Just Imagine if you host your CounterStrike Server in such a SSD... will definatly give u r end users boost in Ping,fps,Smoothness,Stability,Connectivity ... and much more...!

Advantages:

• Low Ping
• High Frames per Second (FPS)
• No Game Crashs
• Better Connectivity
• Smooth Game Play (even if ping is High)

Disadvantages:

• SSD's are Very Costly

The Deal:

We Know anything closest to SSD is our very own RAM sticks , yes they too have accesstime as low as 0.1ms which is blazingly fast...!

So what if we can use our regular DDR1/DDR2/DDR3 RAM(it doesnt matter which DDR version you have, it only matters that you should have atleast 1Gb RAM installed in your system) as harddisk (HDD, like you see harddisk partitions in When you open MyComputer icon,located on Desktop).

The Assumptions:

• Before we proceed further, the author assumes that you successfully created you CounterStrike Server (which is nothing but a folder ) ..... Otherwise read this How to Create CounterStrike 1.6 Server in Windows XP Tutorial.

• You have Atleast 1Gb RAM of RAM installed (Right Click on MyComputer and Click Properties....and See if it shows RAM greater than or equal to1GB).
• You have paused/stopped all your torrents/Downloading tasks.
• Close Any Programs/Opened windows you running (:P Donot Close this window , as you are still reading this article :P)
• You have DOT NET framework installed . else use google.com to find it !

The Procedure:

1. You have successfully created your CounterStrike 1.6 Server (folder, which we name it here as HLDS)
2. Download RAMDISK.ZIP (Its absolutly free/opensource and legal) to u r dekstop.
3. Extract the contents of RAMDISK.ZIP on Desktop and Double Click ramdisk.exe
4. Click "Install Ramdisk" button (U r PC may hang or crash... so be warned)
5. If PC crashes then restart it...and proceed to step 6
6. Open MyComputer icon check if u can see a harddisk with letter R: , it is our RAM drive.
7. Again on Desktop open ramdisk.exe file...now increase DiskSize (Bytes)to 512M .... click Apply button... you should see "success" button in few (10) seconds.
8. Open MyComputer , See if capacity of R: disk has increased to 512Mb from 16Mb....Copy your HLDS folder to R: Disk (u will see that it will copy very fast)
9. Now go to R:\HLDS\ and run hlds.exe (notice how fast it executes :P)
10. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc together and locate hlds.exe in Process tab and Right Click on hlds.exe and change its priority to realtime.

Thats it Folks....Now you have the fastest CounterStrike Server Created in no time...!

Providing your players

1. Zero Lag

2.Lowest Pings

3. Real Hardware Server (Xeon QuadCore) like experiance.

Conclusion:

You can not only apply this trick for CounterStrike but also anything which u think takes lots of time to load , so that they can load faster then you could have imagined.

Caution:

Never install anthing (if u think it is important) directly on RAM DISK R:\ ....... just copy the installation folder to the R:\drive and then execute it from there.

Suggestions:

We may use following Softwares to load faster

1.Firefox/Crome/Safari/Internet Explorer 7/Opera or any browser in R:\

2.Point tmp folder to R:\ drive.

3. Steam and Its Associated applications.

4. Photoshop/Adobe image ready/ or any other Memory Hogging Application...!

Alternatives:

Here are the Best Found (not free) Alternatives to ramdisk

Software Level

• RamDisk Plus / RamDisk (its worth its cost)
• Virtual RAM

Hardware Level

• Buy iRAM from Gigabyte (it only has capacity of 4Gb) ...... Watch Video
• or Buy HyperDrive4 (Extremly Costly)
