In the network game Counter Strike Source there is a possibility of creation of own game server. Players will be able to be connected to it worldwide. However for this purpose it is necessary to configure the server so that also other Internet users could see it.
Instruction
1. Make shutdown of a firewall of your operating system in the control panel and also stop for a while the application with the firewall functions. Make sure that your antivirus does not block connection, having checked the built-in network screen. Quite often many programs scanning network traffic block different third-party connections. The most part from them is created by the user and is absolutely safe. You should allow for a while access to all incoming connections.
2. Install the static IP address for a game server. For this purpose contact your provider: most of them provides such services for a certain payment, though not always. Before selecting a certain hosting, attentively study all provided services and the prices of them. Sometimes there are special offers for online players with the corresponding settings of network.
3. Open the file of the steam.inf settings and state in it the next lines: PatchVersion=1.6.2.5ProductName=cstrikeНе forget that it is necessary to specify that version of a patch which is installed at you.
4. Configure the master server. For this purpose at the end of the Server.cfg file add a line with the setmaster add command, register port and the IP address of the official server. It is possible to study the list and parameters of master servers on the Internet on the thematic resources devoted to Counter-Strike Source.
5. Consider that the version of the installed patch is also capable to affect visibility of the server in network. If external players have older version of a game, then the server they will not see. It is one of the most common causes on which game servers do not work. Surely specify the sv_lan 0 parameter in server options and save it.
