One of my friend wanna to host a series of CS matchs, 1.6... But we have no idea about this kinda of staff...So, where we can get some basic information about this, should we rent a server, how to arrange the teams and the matchs, how could we make it works...Thanks for any information related. :-D
-
well servers out there can be really cheap... and once you get/find some people its real easy since almost everyone now a days has a server. check on irc good place to find people who also want to do that

Actually, we have contacted with some net bar here, but just thought that 2 teams stay together and play in LAN, might not be a nice idea... So, u see, how clueless we are. hehe.
-
If you are playing 1.6 then you are clueless. :0 j/king
What you need to do is either go to a lan center (if all of your players are local) or rent a private server for $30/month from someone like nrgservers or leetservers.
-
yeah, I did try couples of times to play 1.6 with friends... cant do shit any more.. hehe... clueless as u said, night. haha.
anyway, looks like that the most easy way is go LAN.. and one more thing, where we can find more information about cs match rules... thanks..
-
CS match rules go to the CAL's website and download their configs.
Steve
-
Yeah, got almost everything needed there at CAL website.. Now, this event/match looks like executable. Thanks.. :-D
-
np you can always ask me if you need any match caster/radio for it...
Steve
-
The CAL rules dont mention any thing about how to decide the maps gotta used in the match. So, how this is gonna be? 2 teams discuss that themselves? or.. what is/are the most common matching maps? :dontknow:
-
usually they have a map rotation for each round of season then playoffs

Ok, I see, Thank you so much Steve.

I have been using the .."New Server" option which came with the counter-strike. to create a server, quite simply, and tested all the console function/parameteres, but then there will always be one guy/player, or I should say one spot used by that server pc inside the game... I think mightbe during the match, we should leave that server spot/pc/player in spec... What u guys asy?
Besides of this way, I read some documents about using the CS Server Package to just install one server which without that spot... But I really dont know whether we should go this way... Cos, we r gonna play the game in LAN, should be withouth the ping problem...
Well, then, u see, I have never attend any CS match, form Internet to LAN.. Need u guys advices... Thanks..
-
just host a dedicated server... much better performance

Ok, thanks Death.
I just find hlds 1.1.2.0, metamod 1.17.4 and AMX Match Deluxe 1.7.1.. Still downloading, hope that wont be too complicated to config all these things... And is there any other package/plugin better than these software or version?
-
One more thing, is that possible that using a hltv server to live a LAN match on Internet? If so, where to find that hltv server we can use?
-
New question, hehe, why ppl died during the match, they should have only black screen, right? no spec... Thought should be like this...
-
Checked the cal config. allow_spec 0... .. Btw, thanks for eveyone who have given me helpful info here and in irc, save me lots of time. Thx.... Now the HLDS plus metamod and amx are all set, and all the cmds have been tested.. Hope tomorrow I can finish the HLTV server test.. Thanks again.
