The main goal of this article is to tell novice users how to create a css server. To begin with, everyone who wants to do this and continue to play as they want, you need to decide what is required for this. First of all, the speed of the Internet should be determined. Moreover, the important role is played not so much by the incoming, but rather by the outgoing, since the first is the speed with which the user receives information, and it will play a role only for partners in the game. But the second one is important for the player himself, since he will be the hoster, and his tasks will include the provision of server services. And this is done only at the outgoing speed. Therefore, it is important to verify it, since creating your own css server without the right one will not work. On the site 2ip.ru you must specify your valid IP address. Below it will be visible the inscription "Internet connection speed." Here it is necessary to click on it. If the test result shows an incoming less than 1.000 kb / s, and an outgoing one below 500 kb / s, then there is no point in creating a server: nothing will succeed, only nerves and time will be wasted.
The second step towards resolving the issue of how to create a css server is to determine the external IP address. One that can be determined not on the local network, but on the global Internet as a whole. It is needed to host the server being created, and you can get information about it (is it, if not, is it possible to connect, etc.) by contacting the provider.
The third, also important role in creating the server is played by the computer configuration. It is not necessary that it be of extraordinary power. For comfortable playing conditions this is not required. But still, certain conditions must be taken into account before creating a css server. For Windows XP and Linux, RAM should be at least 512 MB. For more modern systems, 1-2 GB is suitable. The processor is suitable no lower than dual-core. Only if all these conditions are met will performance be visible, which is easy to determine: whether the computer will launch new products or just play beautiful games. In fairness, it is worth noting that recently quite good cars suitable for games are easy to purchase.
Now let's move on to the question of how to create a server in cs source. With careful study and compliance with this instruction, problems should not arise. All actions are performed step by step.
1. Distribution for Windows. First you need to download a small program from Valve - HLDSUpdatetool. It will help you get a reliable server distribution that you need to create.
2. After the utility is downloaded to the computer, proceed to its installation. It will be successful if you determine the path, say, D: \ Server, and in the proposal for choosing a country find Europe. We go into the specified folder and run HldsUpdateTool.exe., After which two windows open and the update process begins. This must be done, as the version is not the latest.
3. Now we start downloading the server itself. The time that will be spent depends on the speed of connection with the provider and can be from 5-20 minutes to several hours. Click the "Start" and "Run." The entered entry must be changed to the specific desired path, and in the end, instead of C: \ srcds, specify the folder where the server will be installed. After completing all these steps, the download of the game server will begin. Before creating a css server, be sure to check if there is enough space on your hard drive.
Before starting, you must configure a file that indicates the path to the server: c: \ srcds \ cstrike \ cfg \ server.cfg. Instead of the first two entries, the path and type of game are indicated.
The server starts working through the launch of the bat-file. They are ordinary text documents, small in size and using the simplest scripting language. We save all the performed actions and forward to new gaming achievements!
