What
is Counter-Strike ?
Counter-Strike is a modification (MOD) to the excellent game, Half-Life.
It modifies the multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to bring to it a more
team-oriented gameplay. Counter-Strike provides the player with an experience
that a trained counter-terrorist unit or terrorist unit experiences.
The MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the terrorist
and the other team playing the role of the counter-terrorist. Each side
has access to different guns and equipment, as well as different abilities.
Maps have different goals such as: hostage rescue, assassination, bomb
defusion, Terrorist escape, etc.
Why:
Some people asked me to do an Howto about this.
As I'm a big fan of Counter Strike I had to do this...
Steps:
Basically, we are going to install :
- Counter
Strike server 1.3
- Admin
Mod 2.50.07 (and its "Database Enabled" add-on)
- Punkbuster
0.956
- phpMyAdmin
2.2.1-rc1
- Screen
to launch PB and CS
And then
I'll show you how to go through the configuration part.
Warning: Do this at your OWN RISK !! I wont help you if you
crash your system. Don't even try to send me any mails.
I will only answer mails with question about Counter-Strike, Admin Mod
or PunkBuster.
Note:
The installation is made through SSH
Downloads:
OK, the first step is to download those files in a directory on your
e-smith box.
I advice you to download them from your server. It will prevent to move
the files after downloading them

Note:
Sorry for the HL server, I didnt find any other link...
Lets start the installation:
Info:
Please note that i'm describing the way I installed it on my system. So
if you think it's strange just do it as you want

Installation
of Admin Mod for CStrike :
Adminmod Installation Script
Version 2.50.07
This script
will install Adminmod version 2.50.07 on your
system. It will ask you for the directory that you installed
the Half-Life server in. To accept defaults just press Return.
After the binaries are installed you should read the docu-
mentation and configure Adminmod before you use it for the
first time.
Shall I
proceed with the installation? (y/n) [y] Press ENTER
Please enter the directory where your HL server is installed,
or hit Return to accept the default.
[/games/half-life]: Press ENTER
Looks like you have cstrike installed in /games/half-life.
I can now install the Admin Mod files. Proceed? (y/n) [y] Press ENTER
Installing binaries and config files ...
Editing
your liblist.gam file ...
The Adminmod
files have now been installed. It looks like you
install this version of Adminmod for the first time. You will
have to edit your server.cfg file in the directory /games/half-life/cstrike.
I can now add the necessary lines to your server.cfg file.
Edit the file afterwards to configure it to your needs.
Shall I
add the Adminmod lines to your server.cfg file? (y/n) [y] Press ENTER
Conratulations, Adminmod is now installed.
To configure it you should now edit your server.cfg file and create
users.ini, maps.ini, ips.ini, models.ini and wordlist files as needed.
Follow the instructions in the documentation and check for more infor-
mation at the Adminmod website http://www.adminmod.org.
Enjoy!
Note:
You know something easier than this ?!
Lets
continue the installation:
Info:
OK we are now going to modify some stuff in MySQL so Admin Mod can work
with it !
But we
are going to work with phpMyAdmin for 2 reasons : it's easier to manager
and easier to modify stuff !
Create
an IBay with e-smith-manager. Name it phpmyadmin and protect it with password.
[root@e-smith
Admin]# cd /tmp/cs/

[root@e-smith
html]# mcedit config.inc.php
Note:
You are now in MCEDIT. You have to look for "$cfgServers[1]['password']
= 'PASSWORD1'; // MySQL password. PASSWORD1 is not
written.
Right click with your mouse where PASSWORD1 is so your
password is gonna be written between the ' '.
Then save the file with F10 and "Yes"
The file is saved with the password !
phpMyAdmin
is now accessible from => http://servername/phpmyadmin/
Launch your favorite browser (on a client) and type this url (the
one which is above).
If this is your first use of MySQL you can delete the "test"
database.
Create a database called "adminmod" and execute the following
lines :
CREATE TABLE
users( nick VARCHAR(30) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, pass VARCHAR(20), access
INTEGER UNSIGNED );
CREATE TABLE models( nick VARCHAR(20) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, pass VARCHAR(20)
);
CREATE TABLE ips( ip VARCHAR(15) );
CREATE TABLE words ( word VARCHAR(30) );
CREATE TABLE plugins( plugin VARCHAR(30) );
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_base.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_chat.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_cheat.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_hldsld_mapvote.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_message.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_retribution.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_spawn.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_fun.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_CS.amx');
INSERT INTO plugins VALUES ('dlls/plugin_logtest.amx');
You can
now close your browser and return to SSH.
[root@e-smith
html]# cd /games/half-life/cstrike/
[root@e-smith
cstrike]# mcedit server.cfg
Add those
lines in this file :
// Admin
Mode Cvars
mysql_host "localhost"
mysql_user "root"
mysql_pass "PASSWORD1"
mysql_dbtable_users "adminmod.users"
mysql_dbtable_models "adminmod.models"
mysql_dbtable_ips "adminmod.ips"
mysql_dbtable_words "adminmod.words"
mysql_dbtable_plugins "adminmod.plugins"
PASSWORD1
is the password you entered in the phpmyadmin config file
Admin Mod need this password to be able to access the tables !
By the way, configure the RCON Password which is needed by Punkbuster
server !
So add this line in the server.cfg file :
rcon_password
"PASSWORD2"
PASSWORD2
is a password you can choose. You can put anything. But I suggest
you put a very very hard password so no one can find it.
To administer your server (restartround, kick) you are going to use Admin
Mod so do not skimp on the rcon password length since you are not going
to use it in counter strike but only in punkbuster !!
Now we are
going to create the script which will launch cs server and punkbuster
server.
PunkBuster server controls that players do not cheat. You can basically
tell him if punkbuster client is optional or required. I suggest that
you use the required mode !
Here
is how to launch your Counter-Strike with Admin Mod and PunkBuster
(Still the way I do)
[root@e-smith
cstrike]# cd /bin
[root@e-smith
bin]# mcedit cstrike
You are
now in the file "cstrike". This is the file which is gonna launch
the counter-strike server.
Write those lines in it :
#!/bin/bash
IP_LOC=`ifconfig ppp0 | fgrep "inet ad" | cut -f2 -d":"
| cut -f1 -d" "`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/games/half-life:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd /games/half-life/
screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip $IP_LOC +exec server.cfg
+maxplayers 8 +map de_aztec
cd /games/half-life/pb/
echo "Required $IP_LOC:27015 -1 PASSWORD2" >> pbsvhl.cfg
screen -A -m -d -S pb ./pb
[root@e-smith
bin]# chmod 750 cstrike
Now you
can launch "cstrike" and then your server is gonna be launched.
To stop it just type the following :
screen -r hlds
You are now in the first emulated screen where you counter strike server
has been launched lately
Just type "exit" and it will close counter strike and screen
Do the same
for punkbuster :
screen -r pb
and type "exit"
Both servers are now closed and unusable
Info:
You can delete the files you downloaded lately but it's not necessary
Now we are
going to enter the configuration part !
The Counter-strike one is gonna be the easiest one since there is a website
talking about this ;-)
Here are the information you need for you config file : http://server.counter-strike.net/
Punkbuster
do not need any special configuration except if you want do make some
special things !
I advice you to read the documentation..
Admin mod now.
This is a new sub-mod out that allows you give people access to your servers,
without giving access to rcon. It also lets you define users who can access
the server, each with a different password.
That mean you can tell which player can use a command or not.
The simplest way to configure it is that you take the time to read the
docs file of Admin Mod found in : /games/half-life/Admin/docs
You can ask me question about his and I will answer them and put them
here if they are very important.
I cant really thing about what you need to know since I do not have any
trouble configuring a cs server :)
Hope this
HowTo help you !

Thanks to Grand'Pa for having posted the way to install a basic counter
strike server.
Thanks to [-SGT]DeV!L for testing the server for our team (the server
I tested this howto on)
Thanks to Dan Brown for the style of the HTML page. I don't really have
ideas to make the web pages style...
And Thanks to server.counter-strike which is a very great site for Administrators
