Ok lets get started.
============================================= ============================================= =========================================
(If you want a HLDS Server instead of a Dedicated server follow the instructions here.)
If you don't have a server go to
1.
Pick one and download.
Make an account if you have to.
Get in the waiting list and download HLDS. And install to your computer.
2. Press "Start" then "Run" and type CMD then type cd C:\HLServer
then type hldsupdatetool and let the updates finish.
When you have done that, download amxmodx from
3.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/a...0.exe?download
and pick a State
install it to your comp.
Download amxmodx and install then follow what it says and select the mod when it prompts.
4. Make a folder called addons, in your modir. go to metamod.org and put in the metamod to the addons folder, make a folder in it called metamod in that make another folder called dlls, go place metamod.dll in the dlls folder, go back to the meta mod folder and place plugin.ini there. (Look at Metamod below for more info.)
place
;;AMX Mod X 1.60
win32 addons\amxmodx\dlls\amxmodx_mm.dll
in it.
5. If you don't want your server to crash go to
www.serverdoc.com and download one.
Put it in C:\HLServer and when you want to start your server open up server doc and put in
C:\HLServer\hlds.exe -game cstrike -port (Port you set on server) +map (map) -console +maxplayers (player #) -secure
Example:
C:\HLServer\hlds.exe -game cstrike -port 27018 +map scoutzknivez -console +maxplayers 18 -secure
That's pretty much it but if you have a router then you need to follow the instructions till you see "ROUTER SERVER SETUP".
============================================= ============================================= =========================================
Update For HLDS
To update your HLDS installation, you need to first open up the command prompt. Go to Start and then click on Run, type:
CMD
In the appearing command prompt, exit to your drive's root by issuing these commands:
cd..
cd..
Then, navigate to your HLserver folder by typing in:
cd hlserver
Finnaly, type this:
hldsupdatetool
Instructions will now appear on your screen on updating HLDS.
============================================= ============================================= =========================================
(If you want a Dedicated server instead of a HLDS Server follow the instructions here.)
Go to "Play Games" menu and go to the very bottom to Dedicated Server.
Download and install.
Repeat Steps 3. and 4.
That's pretty much it but if you have a router then you need to follow the instructions till you see "ROUTER SERVER SETUP".
From waht I know I don't think you can put the serverdoc on a dedicated server because, it doesnt start by the exe in the dir it starts by pressing "Dedicated Server" in the play games menu.
============================================= ============================================= =========================================
Metamod
Installing metamod is practically simple, you can install it by reading the readme file or reading the next few lines.
1. Download it from
http://www.metamod.org
2. Install It!
Inside your half-life's mod folder (ex. cstrike), create a new folder named addons and inside that folder make another one named metamod and inside that one make another one called dlls and then extract zip or gz file and copy the DLL file in the last folder you created (/addons/metamod/dlls).
3. Activate It!
Finally, open your liblist.gam file (located in your mod's folder) and modify these lines:
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/cs_i386.so"
To this:
gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll"
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
4. Enjoy It!
That's It! Now try running hlds. If you see this line in your console:
Metamod version 1.17 Copyright (c) 2001-2003 Will Day <
[email protected]>
Metamod comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `meta gpl'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `meta gpl' for details.
That means that Metamod has been installed and is ready to work. Please continue to the Plugins section for more information.

ROUTER SERVER SETUP
If you have a router on your computer then you have to call that router company or look at the box
and see what the site is. It will be something like "http://192.168.X.X/" but you can't just guess
you have to find out what it is. When you've done that enter the website and it will prompt you for username and password
leave the username blank and in password type admin
go to Gaming or Open Ports w/e it is and then
Port Range
Application:
HLServer
OR
Dedicated Server
------------------------------------------------------------------
Start:
(Put in your UDP Server Port)
------------------------------------------------------------------
End:

sv_downloadurl Tutorial
SUMMARY
-------
Half-Life now supports the download of custom content (maps,
skins, sounds,
and so on) from a HTTP server (ie: webserver) when connecting,
instead of
downloading directly from the game server itself.
HTTP downloading has three major benefits:
1) There is no impact on the game server when downloading
custom content, as
a completely separate HTTP content server does the transfer
2) Players will download custom content at their maximum
transfer rate,
resulting in *much* faster downloads
3) Players who are downloading custom content do not take up a
player slot
on the server while they wait
WHAT PLAYERS CONNECTING TO A SERVER WITH CUSTOM CONTENT WILL SEE
----------------------------------------------------------------
When a player connects to a server utilizing custom content, one
of two
things will occur:
1) If the server is not configured for HTTP download, the game
server
will use the normal "trickle" download mechanism
2) If the server is configured for HTTP downloading, the player
will
see an enhanced download dialog, and much faster downloads.
While
this content is downloading, they are not connected to the
game
server. Once the download finishes, they are automatically
reconnected to the game server, and ready to play.
CONFIGURING YOUR SERVER TO USE FAST HTTP ASSET DOWNLOADING
----------------------------------------------------------
1) Make a list of all the custom files (bsp, wav, mdl, etc)
used on your server
2) Put these files on a HTTP server (ie: webserver), keeping
the folder
layout intact
3) OPTIONAL: To display a "banner image" to players that
download content,
place a 340x56 pixel image in the file <custom content
directory>/gfx/banner.gif
4) Set the sv_downloadurl cvar to
"http://yourserver/custom_content_directory/"
Example:
Your server uses the non-standard map "de_generic", which
requires the following files:
C:\Program
Files\Steam\SteamCache\
[email protected]\Cou nter-Strike\cstrike\maps\de
_generic.map
C:\Program
Files\Steam\SteamCache\
[email protected]\Cou nter-Strike\cstrike\de_gene
ric.wad
C:\Program
Files\Steam\SteamCache\
[email protected]\Cou nter-Strike\cstrike\sound\a
mbience\de_generic_a.wav
C:\Program
Files\Steam\SteamCache\
[email protected]\Cou nter-Strike\cstrike\sound\a
mbience\de_generic_b.wav
C:\Program
Files\Steam\SteamCache\
[email protected]\Cou nter-Strike\cstrike\sound\a
mbience\de_generic_c.wav
You have web space (perhaps through your ISP) with the URL
"http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~matt" that you will use to
host your
custom content.
To do this, you copy the files needed for "de_generic" to your
webspace,
placing them in a folder called "my_cstrike" in your webspace
top-level directory,
keeping their directory layout intact.
You now have the following files in your webspace:
http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~m.../de_generic.map
http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~m.../de_generic.wad
http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~m...mbience/de_gene
ric_a.wav
http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~m...mbience/de_gene
ric_b.wav
http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~m...mbience/de_gene
ric_c.wav
You now set the "sv_downloadurl" cvar on your game server to
"http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/~matt/my_cstrike/". Now,
players who connect
to your server will automatically download the map "de_generic"
and its required
files from your webspace when they connect (unless they already
have it, of course).
TECHNICAL DETAILS
-----------------
* The maximum length of the sv_downloadurl is 127 characters
* A username and password can be specified for the HTTP server
by embedding
them in the sv_downloadurl like so:
http://[email protected]/
( Note - recent IE patches make disable this functionality )
* If a connecting player has an existing file of the same name,
it will not
be overwritten. The download file will be skipped.
* Certain game-crtical and/or dangerous files cannot be
downloaded (ie: *.exe, *.vbs, etc)
