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).

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
  sv_logfile 0
  sv_log_onefile 0
  mp_logmessages 0

How to make CounterStrike1.6 Server Listed/Visible to Others

This is a common problem among new administrators whose CS1.6 server aka HLDS doesn't show up in the Server List.

This issue can be easily resolved by adding few lines in your server.cfg file:

• Add these lines to server.cfg file, located in cstrike/ folder
  

setmaster add 207.173.177.12:27010
setmaster add 207.173.177.11:27010
setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27010
setmaster add 69.28.151.162:27010
setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27010
setmaster add 69.28.151.162
setmaster add 72.165.61.189
setmaster add 207.173.177.11
setmaster add 68.142.72.250
setmaster add hlmaster.jolt.co.uk
setmaster add 65.73.232.251:27040
setmaster add 65.73.232.253:27040
setmaster add 207.173.177.12:27010
setmaster add 207.173.177.11:27010

setmaster enable

• Start HLDS.exe
• Ask someone if the server is getting listed or not !

Please Note: if you have anything.com then u r clients may not be able to connect to your server So it is must to provide IP (not domain name)

Unable To Update: Renamed Hldsupdatetool.exe But The File Is Still there .... HLDS Update issue / Cannot use Hldsupdatetool.exe

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 Display CounterStrike 1.6 Find Server List Correctly

Many times we complain that we dont find Server List getting displayed when we Click

"Find Servers" Option

This can be fixed by following the steps below:

• Download The Patch and Install it
  

a) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ld3t1zzojjy

or

b)http://cstutes.cs.funpic.org/Downloads/MasterServers.vdf

• Go to your HDD:\HLDS\platform\config and Delete MasterServers.vdf file

(if present)

Where :

HDD : ----> your installation drive

HLDS: ------> Folder in which you installed Counter Strike 1.6

also note "cstrike" and "platform" folders are in same level of depth.

• Restart your Counterstrike 1.6 and see if Servers list is getting bigger ....

The main idea is to edit the contents of MasterServers.vdf

(open it in wordpad )

and replace them with this code below:

"MasterServers"
{
"hl1"
{
"0"
{
"addr" "207.173.177.11:27010"
}
"1"
{
"addr" "68.142.72.250:27010"
}
"2"
{
"addr" "69.28.151.162:27010"
}
}
"hl2"
{
"0"
{
"addr" "207.173.177.11:27011"
}
"1"
{
"addr" "68.142.72.250:27011"
}
"2"
{
"addr" "69.28.151.162:27011"
}
}
}

• Save it and Close it.
