Hello so this is my first post so i will try to make it good.

First there are some system requirements that your computer must have in order to run a server, they are:

1.Windows XP, processor 1000 ghz, memory 256 ram.
2.300 - 400 MB free space on disk.
3.And ofcourse a connection on the internet.

Ok now lets start.

First download [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] the cs server installer and unzipp it somewhere on your disk. Then create a folder on your disk and name it HLDS (you can name it to what you want but i use HLDS because its classic) Now doubleclick on installer.exe and choose install directory to the hlds folder, then wait till it installs then new window will appear and wait till that closes ( the new window downloads and puts the files into the HLDS folder). After that will finish and close check the HLDS directory if its approximativly 315 MBs then its ok to go if its not do the whole step again.

Next Step is to set the server to accept non-steam clients in order that to work download swds.dll patcher [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and install it in the HLDS directory.

Then open cstrike/server.cfg delete everything in it and paste this:

Code:
// server name
hostname "Server Name"

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "password"

// server cvars

sv_log_onefile 0

// operation

// execute ban files
exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg
Edit the parameters only if you know what your doing!-add also this lines into server.cfg if you want the server to be seen in the Internet list in cs 1.6

Code:
setmaster add 193.84.64.9:27010 
setmaster add 69.28.151.162 
setmaster add 72.165.61.189 
setmaster add 207.173.177.11
setmaster add 65.73.232.251:27040
setmaster add 65.73.232.253:27040
setmaster add 207.173.177.12:27010
Then open HLDS\cstrike\liblist.gam and at the bottom add this:

gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"

Then just open hlds.exe to run the server and edit the server name, game type etc... the server has also included AmxModx 1.8.1 it helps you to administrate your server easily and make it cooler. To check if it runs type meta list in the console if it says AMX Mod X - RUN than everything is ok!

Thats all for now. Have fun!
