The popular game Counter Stike has an online mode, which is executed using a ready-made or self-created server. If you want to have a lot of players on your server, make it searchable.
It is necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - static IP address.
Instructions
Step 1
Find the configuration file named server.cfg. Open it with Notepad and write the following: // Master setmaster add setmaster add After the words “add”, write down the corresponding IP addresses.
Step 2
If you encounter problems with the launch and display of the Counter-Stike game server in the search, check if you need to install a patch of server version updates. If necessary, download the necessary material from the Internet and, after checking it for viruses, install the program.
Step 3
Pay attention to whether the required attributes are spelled out in the properties of the game launch shortcut. The text should contain something similar to the following: -console + sv_lan 0 -game cstrike + maxplayers ** + map ** + port ** + ip ** + exec listip.cfg -insecure. Replace the asterisks with the values that match yours, apply the changes, reboot the system, and try starting the server again. Check if it shows up in the search engine.
Step 4
Pay attention to whether the external IP address is registered in the server settings. This error may be indicated by the ability to launch the game over a local network. Be sure to use a static IP address for your server, otherwise it will not be displayed in the search engine. It is also quite inconvenient even when using it on a local network.
Step 5
In cases where you are unable to create a game server, go to the special forums dedicated to the game Counter-Strike. Ask other users with game servers how they did the setup. The same applies to the process of creating a server for other games; for the fastest obtaining results of system tuning, always seek help from more experienced users. Also, try to turn off your computer as little as possible.
