One-command setup (SteamCMD + pinned, checksum-verified ReHLDS / ReGameDLL /
Metamod-R / AMXX / ReAPI / ReUnion / CSDM-ReAPI / YaPB / GunGame), .env
settings, ./cs menu (map, DM/GunGame mode, bots, kill counter, restart,
update), own plugins (extras, rtv, mode switch), all-time kill counter,
watchdog + nightly backup, docs for admins and players.

Joining the server

Send this page to your players along with the server address (for example 1.2.3.4:27015 or a playit address like something.ply.gg:12345).

Steam version

  1. Install Counter-Strike (1.6) from Steam.
  2. Turn on the console: Options → Keyboard → Advanced → Enable developer console.
  3. In the main menu press ~ (the key under Esc) and type:
    connect 1.2.3.4:27015
    
  4. To find it again later: Find Servers → Favorites → Add a server, then enter the same address.

The first time you join, the game downloads ~2 MB of sounds. After that, joining is instant.

Non-Steam clients

Non-Steam builds that speak protocol 47 or 48 can join (the server runs ReUnion). Use the same connect command in the console.

In-game

Type in chat What it does
guns reopen the deathmatch gun menu
rtv vote to change the map (needs 60% of players; not in the first 2 or the last 3 minutes)
/rank, /top15, /stats your rank, top 15, your stats
!rules, !level, !score, !top, !weapons GunGame info (GunGame mode only)

How the game works here:

  • Deathmatch: free for all, so shoot anyone. You respawn in under a second with 2 seconds of spawn protection, and pick your guns from the menu.
  • Every kill gives you HP: +10, or +20 for a headshot, up to 100.
  • Numbers on screen: blue numbers are damage you dealt, red numbers are damage you took.
  • Announcer: killstreaks at 3, 5, 7… kills are announced to everyone. Fast double, multi, ultra and monster kills are announced to you.
  • GunGame mode: every 2 kills you move to the next weapon, from glock up to the knife. The first player to finish the knife level wins the map.
  • Bots: they leave the server as people join.

Tips for smoother play

Put these in the console. They're the usual settings for 1.6 online:

rate 100000
cl_updaterate 102
cl_cmdrate 105
ex_interp 0.01
fps_max 100
