Anything you might ask

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the technical requirements for a Counter-Strike: Source server?

Counter-Strike: Source servers require a minimum of 1 GB RAM for small servers (up to 12 players). For larger servers hosting 24–32 players, 2–4 GB RAM is recommended. Our hosting offers NVMe drives, improving performance and reducing map loading times.

How do I install mods and plugins on a CS:S server?

To install mods and plugins for CS:S, use SourceMod and MetaMod:

Go to the "Mods" tab and install the SourceMod and MetaMod packages.
The standard metamod.vdf file is installed, and MetaMod is activated.
Add plugins to the plugins folder in SourceMod and restart the server.

How do I configure map rotation on a CS:S server?

Map rotation on a Counter-Strike: Source server can be configured in the mapcycle.txt file. Add the maps you want to use in rotation. Example:

de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_train

The mapcycle.txt file is located in the server's main directory. Save changes and restart the server for the settings to take effect.

Does your hosting support community maps?

Yes, CS:S servers support community-created maps. Use the built-in installer in the "Mods" tab or upload maps in .bsp format to the cstrike/maps folder and add them to the mapcycle.txt file to include them in rotation.

How long does it take to set up a Counter-Strike: Source server?

Our CS:S hosting offers instant setup after payment. The process takes a few minutes, and server access details are sent to the provided email address.

Can I customize server settings?

Yes, our CS:S servers support full configuration for most parameters via the Startup tab, except for tickrate, which requires editing the server file. Here are some details:

Tickrate: Set to 33, 66, or 100 by modifying server parameters. Higher tickrate improves precision but requires more resources.
Max Players: Adjustable via the Startup tab or the maxplayers parameter.
Friendly Fire: Toggle on or off in the Startup tab.
Round Time: Customize round duration in the Startup tab.
Starting Money: Set the starting budget for players in the Startup tab.

Save changes and restart the server for the settings to take effect.

Can I password-protect a Counter-Strike: Source server?

Yes, to secure the server with a password:

Navigate to the "Startup" tab.
Fill in the Server Password parameter with your desired password.

This ensures that only players with the password can join the server.

What mods are available for Counter-Strike: Source?

Popular mods for CS:S include:

Zombie Mod – Players become zombies and try to infect others.
Gun Game – New weapon after each elimination.
Surf Maps – Slide on obstacle-filled maps.
Deathmatch – Instant respawns and continuous action.
Hide and Seek – One team hides, the other seeks.
Jailbreak – Guards versus prison escapees.

Install mods via SourceMod and MetaMod. Ensure they are active in the server's configuration file.

How do I manage administration on a CS:S server?

Server administration can be managed through SourceMod. Add administrators in the admins_simple.ini file using SteamID. Example:

"STEAM_1:1:12345678" "z"

This grants full permissions to the specified player.

Can I configure map voting?

Yes, CS:S servers support map voting systems via SourceMod plugins. Configure the mapchooser.smx file to allow players to vote for maps at the end of each round.
