CS 1.6 Server Setup : Quick and Easy
Sometimes a bad thing drives a good thing. So when i was banned from ALVB i was really angry and i decided to setup my own server. Although i knew very well that no way i can host it for 24x7. Still i tried. And i cant explain to you how much happy i was the first time few guys came to my server.
Now there is no more ban on me on ALVB and i am a reguler player there. Still that one time ban is the reason for something good that i did.
Few days ago a SE7EN asked me for help that he wants to setup his own server. I shared my experience with him and i felt really good when he told me that he now has his own server.
So if you also want to setup your own CS 1.6 server just follow the steps below. Enjoy!!!
::Server Setup::
1. Copy your current CS 1.6 setup to another folder. This will reduce the number of files you need to download
e.g. c:\CSserver
2. Download and save HLDSUpdateTool.exe under your new folder
3. Run the HLDSUpdateTool.exe using the below command. Don't forget the ending DOT, it means your game folder is current folder where all files will be downloaded
C:\CSserver>hldsupdatetool -command update -game cstrike -dir .
4. Once it says update is completed, delete all .DLL files in C:\CSserver
C:\CSserver>del *.dll
5. Go to your CS 1.6 game folder from where you have copied previously. Copy all .DLL files and paste in current folder. This will solve your protocol 48 problem.
6. In your desktop create a shortcut to hlds.exe in C:\CSserver folder and name it as something like "CS 1.6 Server Console"
7. Right click on the new shortcut and edit the target as below. This will start your server with Dust2 map and that also in console mode
"C:\CSserver\hlds.exe" -game cstrike +map de_dust2 -console
Do not use -autoupdate option or your DLL files may get updated and you will get protocol error again.
8. Double click on the new created shortcut to start your new server
9. Start your CS 1.6 game using your old shortcut and connect to your local IP which is for me 192.168.1.2
10. Tell your friend your public IP address

::Troubleshooting::
1. Friend gets message that server is Lan only.
S: In console run the command below.
sv_lan 0
Or you can set this command in your server.cfg file under cstrike folder so that you don't have to do this every time you start the server.
2. You or friend is getting Protocol error while connecting to the server.
S: Follow the replace .DLL step (Server Setup Step 5)
