In order to install a Counter Strike 1. 6 dedicated server, you need :

a.Windows XP, processor 1000 ghz, memory 256 ram

b. Connexion to internet

c. 300 - 400 MB free space on disk

You shall have to follow a few steps :

1. Connect to the internet

2. Download here the CS 1.6 Server Creator installer and unzipp it anywhere on disk.

3. Create an new directory on your disk and name it HLDS . It can be named anyhow but we shall use HLDS because it`s classic .

4. Now doubleclick on installer.exe and when the selection window appeares you select the new directory HLDS . Hit OK and wait a few moments . A blue window will appear on screen displaying the scroll of the installation . At this point the installer downloads and installs all the server`s components in your HLDS directory. It can take some time to do it, depending on the internet connection , so have a little pacience .When the installer finishes his work , check out the HLDS directory and see if it has approximativly 315 MB .If it has , then everything it`s ok and if it hasn`t 315 MB you`ll have to repeat this step .Open the HLDS directory ; it should look like this :

5. Next step is to set the server up for accepting non steam clients . In order to do that download you can use one ofe these methods:5.1 Rcommended - Use Dual protocol method (47+48). Download Dproto (latest version), double click it and choose as installation folder, the main directory of your server (HLDS). Then go to HLDS\cstrike\addons\metamod, open plugins.iniand edit this line there:

winn32 addons\dproto\dproto.dll

5.2 The old swds.dll No Stream patcher. Download it fron this link . Double click the exe and chose as installation folder, the main directory of your server (HLDS).

If you want a Stem Only dedicated server, just skip this step !
