In order to install a Counter Strike 1. 6 dedicated server, you need :
a.Windows XP, processor 1000 ghz, memory 256 ram
b. Connexion to internet
c. 300 - 400 MB free space on disk

You shall have to follow a few steps :
1.Connect to the internet
2.Download here(http://www.speedyshare.com/670482265.html) the CS 1.6 Server Creator installer and unzipp it anywhere on disk.
3.Create an new directory on your disk and name it HLDS . It can be named anyhow but we shall use HLDS because it`s classic .
4.Now doubleclick on installer.exe and when the selection window appeares you select the new directory HLDS . Hit OK and wait a few moments . A blue window will appear on screen displaying the scroll of the installation . At this point the installer downloads and installs all the server`s components in your HLDS directory. It can take some time to do it, depending on the internet connection , so have a little pacience .When the installer finishes his work , check out the HLDS directory and see if it has approximativly 315 MB .If it has , then everything it`s ok and if it hasn`t 315 MB you`ll have to repeat this step .Open the HLDS directory ; it should look like this :(http://www.tutorialecstrike.com/images/a_doua.png).Now open the cstrike folder , that should look like this :(http://www.tutorialecstrike.com/images/a_treia.png).
Next step is to set the server up for accepting non steam clients . In order to do that download here(http://www.speedyshare.com/932114524.html) the swds.dll patcher . Unzipp it anywhere on disk then copy it in the HLDS directory .You `ll be asked if you want to overwrite the file . The answer is yes, overwrite it ! Push the OK button. If you are a steam player and you future clients (players on your server) are also steam players, pass this step !!!!
6. Next step is to configure te server.cfg in order to make your server work on the internet . Go to HLDS\cstrike folder and open server.cfg with Wordpad . Then look for the line sv_lan 1 and change it to sv_lan 0 . Simple as that…

At this point you have a counter strike server working on the net ! Turn it on by doubleclicking on the hlds.exe located in HLDS\cstrike .



The installer automatically installed Adminmod and Statsme on your server.Adminmod helps you to administrate your server ( change maps, set up cvars, kick players) and Statsme shows you the game statistics . To see if they run properly go to the server console and type “meta list” . If the message recived is Adminmod - RUN , Statsme - Run , everything it`s OK.
Now you have three options :
1.Let the server work on Adminmod and Statsme
2.Install AmxModX
3.Install ClanMod

Option 1
If you choose this option you shall now configure the adminmod.cfg and statsme.cfg
To see how to configure adminmod.cfg see the AdminMod tutorial(http://www.tutorialecstrike.com/adminmod_tutorial.html)

To configure Statsme to work properly you`ll have to do the following steps :
a.Go to HLDS\cstrike\addons\statsme and open statsme.cfg with Wordpad.In the line sm_menupassword modify r3wt with a password of your choice. Later when you`ll join the game , type in the console statsme_menu “your password” ( without the “” “” ) and the menu will appeare on screen.
b.To make the “say /rank” and “say/top10” work you need to go to statsme.cfg and change the sm_storebyauth 1 to 0 . This step will be passed if you are an steam id player and your clients are also steam id players.
c.Now go to HLDS\cstrike\addons\statsme and open scriptpacks.cfg with Wordpad . Here you have to modify all the lines . They look like this :
// AdminPack
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/admin.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/afk.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/hpingkick.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/redirect.cfg

// HostagePack
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/hostage/hospen.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/hostage/hossi.cfg

// MapPack
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mappack/italy.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mappack/mapcycle.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mappack/nextmap.cfg

// MiscPack
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/autorr.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/awplimit.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/damage.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/greet.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/snapshot.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/timeinfo.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/tmlf.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/vip.cfg

// MultiKillPack
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mkpack/killingspree.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mkpack/multikill.cfg

// TeamKillPack
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/forgivetk.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/kickdp.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/punishtk.cfg
//exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/tdwarn.cfg


and he must like this
// AdminPack
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/admin.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/afk.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/hpingkick.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/adminpack/redirect.cfg

// HostagePack
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/hostage/hospen.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/hostage/hossi.cfg

// MapPack
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mappack/italy.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mappack/mapcycle.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mappack/nextmap.cfg

// MiscPack
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/autorr.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/awplimit.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/damage.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/greet.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/snapshot.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/timeinfo.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/tmlf.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/miscpack/vip.cfg

// MultiKillPack
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mkpack/killingspree.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/mkpack/multikill.cfg

// TeamKillPack
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/forgivetk.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/kickdp.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/punishtk.cfg
exec addons/statsme/scriptpacks/tkpack/tdwarn.cfg

So, every “//” in front of the “ exec.addons” lines will be deleted !

Option2
Install AmxMod X . See how to do it in AmxModX tutorial (http://www.tutorialecstrike.com/amxmodx_tutorial.html).
In this case my advice to you is to uninstall AdminMod and Statsme . AmxModX has all the features of AdminMod ( that make Adminmod useless) and has statistics incorporated ( that makes Statsme useless) .To uninstall AdminMod and Statsme simply go to HLDS\cstrike\addons\metamod and open plugins.ini with wordpad . There you should delete the lines :
Win32 addons\adminmod\dlls\adminmod_mm.dll
Win32 addons\statsme\dlls\statsme_mm.dll
You don`t have to delete the folders adminmod and statsme in addons .If you want to reactivate them later just ad those two lines back to metamod\plugins.ini
Option3
Install Clanmod . See how to do it in ClanMod tutorial(http://www.tutorialecstrike.com/clanmod_tutorial.html) .
In this case you should uninstall only the Adminmod.

7. Another important step is adding the maps taking into consideration that the installer only installed the classic counter strike maps . In order to do that go to your Counter Strike 1.6 client open cstrike and you`ll find a folder named maps . Copy the hole folder into HLDS\cstrike of your server .

And that's it!

Bigbrotherbp, dude it doesnt re-install the skins & stuff, it just makes another CS folder with nearly exactly the same stuff, and makes THAT folder u just installed the usual to use. So if u run CS from ur old folder, it should use the skins. But a very good tut, thumbs-up man :) d<<(^_^)>>b
