you just... I'll just copy a simple tutrial ok?

Ok, i made this short tutorial on how to start a dedicated server in counter-strike. Hope everyone finds it useful.

Required software:
Steam
Counter-Strike 1.6 / Condition Zero
Dedicated Server (Found in Steam > Tools)

First, you haave to make sure ur router is configured with all hlds ports forwarded to your ip address. To access your router, you type the default gateway address (E.g. 192.168.1.1) in internet explorer and enter your details when prompted. Then navigate your way till you find a section called 'port range forwarding', usually found in 'applications and gaming'. Once there, add an entry 'hlds'. In the port range, from start to end, put 27015 (assuming thats the port ur using), in protocol, select 'Both', in IP address, put ur ip , and tick 'Enable'

*NOTE* Only do this step if you are experiencing problems with server detection.

Next, you have to install the latest version of AMX Mod X, found in AMX Mod X - Half-Life Scripting for Pros!. You can access your server mods in C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\*YourAccountName*\dedi cated server\cstrike\addons (It should be there if AMXX was installed correctly).

Ok, from there its up to you which mods you install on ur server. If you want deathmatch, for example, click the plugins link on the AMX mod X website, navigate your way to the mod, and follow its installation instructions. A typical mod installation would involve excracting the plugin file, compiling it, then adding a line in the plugins.ini file, found in the configs folder.

You shouldn't even have to fix that port thing if you install the dedicated server right, on tools in steam

Thanks for me, best wishes
