====== Setting up a CS beta 5.2/6.1 linux server ======

=== Required files ===

[[https://files.ndlp.info/cstrike/linux/hlds/full/hlds_l3016.tar.gz|hlds_l3016.tar.gz]]\\
[[https://files.ndlp.info/cstrike/linux/mods/cs/full/cs_beta52.tar.gz|cs_beta52.tar.gz]] or [[https://files.ndlp.info/cstrike/linux/mods/cs/full/cs_beta61.tar.gz|cs_beta61.tar.gz]]\\
[[https://files.ndlp.info/cstrike/linux/hlds/tools/hlds_l.3016.nowon.sh|hlds_l.3016.nowon.sh]]

=== Requirements ===

  * A 32 bits operating system
  * 128 Mb /  1Gb swap
  * A single CPU/core machine (virtualization is advised). Please see [[.:xen|here]] to grab a 32 bits Wheezy Xen image for instance.

=== Installing files ===

  * Copy all required files and decompress them

<code>
cd /your_halflife_directory
tar xvfz hlds_l3016.tar.gz
tar xvfz cs_beta52.tar.gz
</code>

  * Apply nowon patch (to be able to start server with C class address behind nat) :

<code>
cd /your_halflife_directory
./hlds_l.3016.nowon.sh
</code>

=== Configuration ===

In ///your_halflife_directory/cstrike/server.cfg// modify the settings you need. Now you can launch the server with the following :

<code>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your_halflife_directory/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd /your_halflife_directory/
/your_halflife_directory/hlds_l -game cstrk61 +exec server.cfg +ip 192.168.1.2 -port 27016 +sv_lan 1 +map de_train +maxplayers 24 -heapsize 1024000
</code>

:!: Default heapsize is 32Mb, it may not be enough for some maps. Raise it to 1 Gb.

=== Hardware and software requirements ===

  * A 32 bits operating system
  * A single CPU/core machine (virtualization is advised)

=== Installing files ===

  * Copy all required files and decompress them

<code>
cd /your_halflife_directory
tar xvfz hlds_l3104.tar.gz
tar xvfz cs_beta71.tar.gz
</code>

  * Compile hlds_nowon.c file and copy .so file in ///your_halflife_directory//

You may need to install following packages : g++-multilib

<code>
gcc -m32 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -g -shared -ldl -o hlds_nowon.so hlds_nowon.c
</code>

=== Configuration ===

In ///your_halflife_directory/cstrike/server.cfg// modify the settings you need. Now you can launch the server with the following :

<code>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/your_halflife_directory"
cd /your_halflife_directory
LD_PRELOAD=/your_halflife_directory/hlds_nowon.so ./hlds_run +sv_lan 1 -port 27017 -game cstrk71 +ip 192.168.1.3 +maxplayers 24 +map cs_militia
</code>

====== Using screen command ======

One way to do this is to perform the following :

  * **start_cstrk52.sh**

<code>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your_halflife_directory/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd /your_halflife_directory/
/your_halflife_directory/hlds_l -game cstrk61 +exec server.cfg +ip 192.168.1.2 -port 27016 +sv_lan 1 +map de_train +maxplayers 24 -heapsize 128000
</code>

  * **launch_cstrk52.sh**

<code>
screen -A -m -d -S cstrk52 /home/hldsbeta/scripts/start_cstrk52
</code>

Simply run **launch_cstrk52.sh** to start your CS server.
