Counter-Strike 1.6¶

Pre-Installation¶

Before installing this server we will need to create a folder in steam's Home directory.

mkdir ~/.steam/sdk32

Head over to the directory where SteamCMD is located and copy steamclient.so from the linux32 folder to the folder we created previously.

cp ~/Steam/linux32/steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk32/

Installation¶

To install this, start SteamCMD, login anonymously:

login anonymous

Run the following commands:

force_install_dir /home/steam/cstrike
app_update 90

Configuration¶

AMX¶

Installation¶

To install plugins in your server you'll need AMX and Metamod which can be downloaded here. To install these, download the files inside the cstrike mod folder and extract them.

cd ~/cstrike/cstrike
wget https://www.amxmodx.org/release/metamod-1.21.1-am.zip
wget https://www.amxmodx.org/release/amxmodx-1.8.2-base-linux.tar.gz
wget https://www.amxmodx.org/release/amxmodx-1.8.2-cstrike-linux.tar.gz
unzip metamod-1.21.1-am.zip
tar -xvf amxmodx-1.8.2-cstrike-linux.tar.gz
tar -xvf amxmodx-1.8.2-base-linux.tar.gz
rm metamod-1.21.1-am.zip amxmodx-1.8.2-base-linux.tar.gz amxmodx-1.8.2-cstrike-linux.tar.gz

Now we have to add the corresponding dlls to the liblist.gam:

nano liblist.gam

Inside the editor, replace the following line:

gamedll_linux "dlls/xxx.so

To:

gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.so"

Close and save the file, we'll need to edit another file now.

nano addons/metamod/plugins.ini

Inside it, write the following line:

linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so

AMX is now installed. We need to make ourselves admin, for this edit the following file:

nano addons/amxmodx/configs/users.ini

And add the following line:

"STEAM:O:1:23456789" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"

Replace STEAM:0:1:23456789 with your *STEAMID32 which you can find here.

Adding Plugins¶

Running the Server¶

To run the server, simply launch hlds_run from the cstrike folder with the required parameters.

./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2
