Thank you!
At first you need the server Tool. Go to http://www.cs2d.com/download.php and download the windows cs2d (WIN Full Download). In addition, you need (depending on your Operating System) the linux or the windows server. You download at Dedicated Servers for CS2D 0.1.1.3 (currently) the one for linux OR for windows. If you want, you can download the RCon Viewer by kog too, helps much!
Next, you unpack CS2D in a new, empty folder and unpack the dedicated server in the same one.
Configuration:
Open the "sys" folder and the server(.cfg) file. If you don't have a programm for cfg files, just open it with notepad.
First line to work is "sv_name ". You put your Servers name after it!
Second line is "sv_hostport" . Here you can change the UDP Port on which the server will listen later! Remember this port.
"sv_password" is only needed, if you want that only people who have this password can join and play with you.
"sv_rcon" Very important! Write a password behind, that you know, is not to easy to find out and that you can give to others if you want. Something like the server name is not good!
This is the password, which you can use to control the server later (like mapchange, kick user etc.)
Very Important: "sv_lan" make sure, its 0 !
Save this file, close it and open mapcycle(.cfg). There you can write all maps (on each line) which the server later uses automatically (without mapvote) Just write some (or only one, if you want) save and close.
Nearly ready now!
The next thing is to forward the UDP port you remembered to the pc where the dedicated server is running.
If you have a v-server or a root server, this normally is NOT necessary!
Else, if you are running this at home. Noone here can really help you with this, because it's different from router to router. Normally you have to look for your (W-)LAN IP, cut the numbers after the last point and add a 1 there.
like if you have 192.168.2.5 then cut the 5 and put a 1 there: 192.168.2.1 ... Then a control menu for your router should open, where you have to enter password and then can configurate NAT, important is to FORWARD the port to the ip of the pc which runs the dedicated server.
Starting the server:
Windows: open cs2d_dedicated(.exe)
Linux: open /cs2d/ in console, do chmod -R 777 on ./cs2ddedicated
then switch to a Not-Root user, and start the server with ./cs2ddedicated
If you downloaded Rcon Viewer at the beginning, it's very easy to use:
Open it, enter IP:port of the server in the line.
Then press ADD.
Now it should be shown in the list down there. Klick on it, it should now be refreshed. Write your rcon password (you set it at configuration!) in the RCON PASSWORD line, press save and test. If there now is OK, your password was correct, if not, try again.
There you can now change easily your servers options.
A list of all possible commands can be found here
Now more of the configurations:
sv_name SERVERNAME << Name of server sv_hostport 36963 << UDP port, on which the server runs sv_password PASSWORD << Server password sv_rcon PASSWORD << Rcon password sv_maxplayers 10 << Highest number of players who are on the server at one time! sv_fow 1 << Fog of war activated or not? sv_friendlyfire 0 << Friendlyfire activated or not? sv_lan 0<< only show server on LAN sv_usgnonly 0 << only people who are logged in to USGN can join sv_maptransfer 1 << Maps should be transfered to people who don't have them sv_spraytransfer 1 << Can spraylogos be sent? sv_gamemode 0 << Which mode? (Deathmatch, Normal, Construction etc) sv_specmode 1 << Spectator, only Team, ALL or FREE sv_map de_dust << The map, the server loads on start mp_timelimit 25 << time in minutes, one map is played mp_winlimit 50 << wins a team has to got for mapchange mp_roundlimit 100 << rounds one map is played mp_roundtime 5 << time in minutes one round has mp_freezetime 0 << time at beginning of round, on which players cannot move, only buy! mp_buytime 0.5 << time in minutes where players can buy something mp_startmoney 600 << money a player gets on connect mp_teamkillpenalty 3 << player gets punished at ... teamkills mp_hostagepenalty 8 << player gets punished at ... hostagekills mp_tkpunish 0 << player gets punished for teamkill mp_idlekick 1 << players get kicked for being idle mp_vulnerablehostages 1 << can hostages be killed? mp_autoteambalance 1 << server automatically balances teams bot_prefix [b] << bot names start with these letters bot_count 0 << number of bots in game bot_jointeam << ?? bot_skill 2 << who weak/strong are bots?PS: At yes/no questions, 1 is yes and 0 is no!
