About hosting CS matchs..

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.

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..

[Death_ADDER]

CS match rules go to the CAL's website and download their configs.

Steve

[diEsoOn]

Yeah, got almost everything needed there at CAL website..  Now, this event/match looks like executable.   Thanks..

[Death_ADDER]

np you can always ask me if you need any match caster/radio for it...

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? 

[Death_ADDER]

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..

[Death_ADDER]

just host a dedicated server... much better performance

Steve

[diEsoOn]

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?

[diEsoOn]

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?
