Download the files from here (cs 1.6 server files)

1. Run OrangeSwarm-HLCS1.6-FULL.exe
2. Run OrangeSwarm-HLCS1.6-PATCH.exe
3. Double click the dedicated server icon (red one) on your desktop

Viola.. manage to screw that up and you could possible be brain dead. Configuring the server might require a bit of tweaking but to get a quick game going this should sort you out fine. You can also install bots which are decent.. Anyway here is the video tutorial in case you .. idk.. incase you like the trippy youtube songs or something.

A Herion original:

Alternatively you can install the official legal half life server which you can download here. Download the .exe file and run it. Once it is installed go to the folder in which you installed it and run hlds.exe Then select your game, half life, deathmatch classic, counterstrike1.6, day of defeat, Richochet, Team Fortress. If you want to run the server in insecure mode you will need to create a shortcut to the hlds.exe and add the following in the target field:

• -nomaster -insecure
• (Example: C:\HLServer\hlds.exe -nomaster -insecure)

That should let you run the game in insecure mode. Enjoy

Aright, this guide will give you a easy way to set up a Unreal Tournament 2003 dedicated server.

Where to start. I though UT2003 was going to be cake, turned out to be pretty dificult for me. Main reason being there was next to no tutorials for this. I seemed to have managed however. If you want to host a UT2003 server you do not have to worry about large downloads as the makers made a very nice server pack. You will need to get this “server pack”. Seeing as i am such a nice person here is a table with a couple of download locations. If you found a fast mirror but sure to report in!

If you believe the readme.txt file inside the archive it will make you believe that this is simple as hell. They might be right but wasnt for me. Ok so once you unpacked all you need to do is run the ucc.exe file inside the System folder. Thats a plain lie. You need to start the ucc.exe from a bat file or from command line. I hate windows command line. So iam going for a bat file.

Open notepad (start, all prgms, acces.., notepad if you didnt know this BAD USER BAD USER!!) In notepad paste the following line:

START C:\PROGRA~1\UT2003~1\System\UCC.exe server DM-Antalus.ut?Translocator=False?Game=xGame.xDeathMatch?AdminName=Heroin
?AdminPassword=PASSWORD?mutator=XGame.MutInstaGib?minplayers=8?goalscore=125?maxplayers=12?BotSkill=5?FF=0.5
?autonumbots=True?timelimit=20 ini=UT2003.ini

Ofcourse edit the line as needed, this is assuming the UT2003 folder is in C:\Program Files if its not edit the location above. Chance the admin and pasword. This server is running as an instagib server. If you want a plain server just remove mutator=XGame.MutInstaGib? it can also be done when the game is running so dont worry too much about it. Once you have the following in notepad save the file as UT2003.bat make sure that Save As Type = “All Files”. Now double click UT2003.bat and it should start your server!

Hoorah! You will also have a web administration available. You can open it (assuming you are behind the actual server) by going to http://127.0.0.1:80 There you can chance gamemode, type, level, mutators and such! If you want a bit more out of your server you will need to edit the UT2003.ini file. Which is located in your UT2003\systems folder. Pretty straight forward just change what you want save and reload the server

When you have set up your server succesfully you can use these commands to fine tune it to your needs and likes!

Configure server using these commands

You can edit these settingsd in the UT2003.ini file which can be found in the folder where you installed the server files.

Basic Commands

Enter console by pressing ~ then type adminlogin [password] (replace [password] with your password.

Well its basically the same as setting up a 2003. Once again there are legal dedicated server files which you can download for Unreal Tournament 2004. I suggest you get the following file, but there are plenty of place to get it from, you can get any ut2004 dedicated server files as long as they are original.

Dedicated Server files download:
http://downloads.unrealadmin.org/UT2004/Server/?

Once you have downloaded the dedicatedserver3339-bonuspack.zip unpack it. Now go to the System folder. You will need to edit the UT2004.ini file. Replace the contents with the config files i provided for you. Chance the stuff in orange if you want. Save the UT2004.ini. Now you need to start the server. This is done through a .bat file. Create a new empty document or open notepad and paste the .bat content i provided. Save it as server.bat in the System folder of UT2004. Make sure to save as all documents, and not as a text document. Now run the bat file and your server should work.

Apart from downloading the files it only takes 2 minutes to do Once the server is running you can get web access by going to http://127.0.0.1:8080 and entering the username and pass which is inside the bat file. In the video i forgot my password was password
