What we gonna do is to copy parameters from the master ( _default.cfg) config to our instance config csserver.cfg.įirst one is ip="0.0.0.0" line. This one will override _default.cfg and common.cfg. It will override _default.cfg.Ĭsserver.cfg - parameters for the csserver instance of game server. So put all of your settings to the next two configs.Ĭommon.cfg - here you can set parameters that are common for all of game server instances related to the current installation. No sense to change cuz it will be reset after LinuxGSM update. _default.cfg - some sort of master config, all of its parameters will be applied to game servers related to the current installation. So here is the brief explanation of config files we're interested in. In this article we discuss only single server instance per installation.

I used VPS with the same config to play with my friends and CPU usage was about 7-10% for 6 players and only few tiny plugins. Such VPS is quiet cheap and powerful enough to manage up to 24 simultaneous players for sure. The server I rent for this tutorial series has the following configuration: We'll use Linux Game Server Managers utility to make server setting up process easier (I tried to use SteamCMD directly to create a dedicated server but it was a pain), it would also send us alerts to Email, Discord, Slack, Telegram etc. For that purpose I would suggest to rent a VPS running Ubuntu OS. In this series of tutorials we will cover how to set up a dedicated Counter-Strike 1.6 server so can customize it as you want and play with your friends.
