It sounds like you may be using LinuxGSM because it sets the default config file for Counter-Strike 1.6 to csserver.cfg (this custom server config file name is set in the command line with
+servercfgfile when the server is started). So, if this is the case, you need to use csserver.cfg as you were originally instructed and not server.cfg. You can verify by checking the value of the
servercfgfile cvar in your server's console (via your control panel, HLSW, or amx_cvar).
The above is for the file that is executed only when the server is first started. However, there is another cvar that you can set for a file that you would like to execute on every map change and it's called
mapchangecfgfile. So, in your csserver.cfg file, you can set:
Code:
mapchangecfgfile "myMapChangeConfig.cfg"
This will cause myMapChangeConfig.cfg to be executed on every map change.
Generally, I recommend keeping HLDS cvars in this
mapchangecfgfile (and not putting them in amxx.cfg) and only put AMX Mod X plugin cvars in amxx.cfg (when possible).
