Counter-Strike 1.6 server

Create and configure a Counter-Strike 1.6 server on RHQ Game Hosting.

Your Counter-Strike 1.6 server runs on our game panel (Pterodactyl). It is small and starts in seconds.

  1. Start the server

    Open your server in the game panel and press Start.

  2. Configure it

    In the Files tab edit cstrike/server.cfg: hostname, sv_password, rcon_password and sv_lan 0.

  3. Set the maps

    Edit cstrike/mapcycle.txt to choose the map rotation and set the start map in Startup.

  4. Join

    In CS 1.6 open the console (~) and type:

    connect YOUR_SERVER_IP:27015

Your server's assigned ports are shown in the panel and may differ from these defaults.

Plugins

Most servers use Metamod and AMX Mod X. Upload them to cstrike/addons, then add plugins to addons/amxmodx/plugins and list them in plugins.ini.
