My Counter-Strike: Source server is now open

Note

Originally posted on my old blog as two posts a day apart in April 2023, merged into one here. The server is long gone, so I've dropped the live status banner and the IP address.

Long time no see!

I've been having a lot a trouble on schoolwork and time recently, so no time for blogs, during the Qing Ming Festival Break in China (Similiar to Mexico's Day of the Dead but not quite), I finally can have a little break where I can make projects I like!

As I said before, I am obsessed with old games and old tech, which led me to think about old Online Multiplayer Games such as GMOD, Counter Strike 1.6, Source and more, so I thought: Why not make a old Game server to bring that sense of nostalgia back? Well I did it, looking for tutorials and asking on the AlliedModders Forum for a lot of time, and setting up all kinds of plugins. Now what I Have is a Full On DeathMatch Server running on my old Thinkpad with Upgraded 8 GB RAM and 128GB SSD, which working amazingly good in 2023!

I Will Post The IP Address of my server Later in the Month, and I wish you all a good holiday!

The next day: the link, and more

So as I promised, here's the banner of my server, including the ip address of my CSS Server: it was a GameTracker badge pointing at my home connection on port 27015.

Oh and also my server has SourceMod, MetaMod, and some plugins Installed on it, I have a list of the plugins at the bottom of this page if you guys want to see for yourself, it is really just a few files and the SourceMod Plugins command just shows all of the files associated with each plugin.

Anyways the way I got the server running over my network was pretty frustrating, I will come up with a tutorial on How to build a Source Dedicated Server and how to setup a NAT Reverse Proxy. I would also consider opening more Source/HLDS Servers from different games and test it out myself! I've filtered the possible candidates for the server creation which are: Lead 4 Dead 2, HL2 DM, TF2, and maybe GMOD.

Well I think that's that for this hour, c u 4 hours later with a NAT Tutorial! Bye! :3
