Sorry for the newbie questions but some of the docs are a bit over my head. First off I want to thank the guys making this. I have used this mod on public servers and it is really cool. I have set up a dedicated server for my coworkers to come and let off some steam, and settle some scores. I want to add bots and need to start "upgrading" the server. So here I am. The server is for 1.6.

I originally set up my server.cfg with things like sv_password and other configs like fliashligh and map times. So that worked fine. So I have a few questions.

1. does amx overide the server.cfg? After AMX install my sv_password is still working so I guess the server.cfg is still working. Should I remove certain switches from the server.cfg that may be handled by the amxx.cfg?

2. in the amxx.cfg what does the amx_default_access "z" do? The server has been set up on a box on my home LAN and it has its own keyboard and monitor. So I will not need any remote admin or any of that. I can just switch over to the other keyboard. In my server.cfg I have disabled the rcon.

3. Again in the amxx.cfg the amx_password_field "_pw". is this the remote admin password? or is the the player password field? The docs say the "setinfo which should store a password on a client" I am know sure what this means. The config does say to change it, but I am not sure who access this password.

4. I am planning on getting a bot on this server too. I was looking at the {e}podbot plugin. Any opinions on this? Also is there anything I should be concerned about when installing with AMXX? Don't want to jack up my install .

5. I used the auto configer that was in the sticky, yes some newbies do read stickies. Anyway this is what it gave me. Does it look ok?

6. for the maps.ini will that overwrite the mapcycle.txt? I don't have a reference in my server.cfg to a mapcyclefile but the default install of HLDS did put a mapcycle.txt file in the cstrike directory. Should I remove that?


Thanks for any information. It is tough being a newbie and setting up a server for this game is quite confusing.
