When starting a Counter-strike server, the main task of the owner is to attract as many players as possible. In order to make a good server that is fun to play on, you need to follow a number of recommendations.
Instructions
Step 1
Make your server stand out from the crowd. Alternatively, you can use one of the mods for Counter-Strike: Zombie Plague, Warcraft, Gungame. Choose those of them that are the most popular and interesting for players. The mod should not be too complicated, otherwise the gamer will not want to spend a lot of time mastering all the subtleties. If the complexity of the mod cannot be avoided, place in the player's menu not only explanations, but also recommendations for the game.
Step 2
Use plugins that add variety to the display of the game world, such as sounds and skins. It is not necessary to completely change the entire scheme, it is enough to add ten to fifteen signals accompanying game events and a few special skins. You can also add the ability to use hats. With this plugin, each player can choose a headgear to their liking. Seemingly useless at first glance, this plugin allows you to make the gameplay more exciting and fun.
Step 3
Be sure to create a website dedicated to your server. Place on it information about the plugins that you have posted, as well as detailed instructions on how to use them. The site should also contain information such as contact details of administrators, including the main admin. This is necessary in case cheaters are detected.
Step 4
The secret to creating an interesting CS server is to find a balance between a simple game and innovations that distinguish the game from the usual one. The fact is that by installing a standard server, you run the risk of not standing out from the crowd. At the same time, by adding a lot of plugins, models, sounds, you risk increasing the number of downloaded files and the complexity of the game so much that players will prefer not to go to it. Remember this.
