Step-by-step guide:
First screen you will see is Help tab. There are version info, contacts and legal stuff. Most important things to mention are:
[1] Tabs - control menus, everything you need is there
[2] Check list - most important area. The IPs in it will overwrite your Favourite tab in CS
[3] Status bar - Messages will help you to dial with errors
Next tab you should look at is Update:
[1] If you have a personal firewall (I strongly recommend to do), you will get a message about CSServers trying to connect to the Internet. It means that program is checking for new version or server list ( a .db2 file). If you don't want to be up-2-date uncheck the option. You can always click the Check-4-updates button later.
[2] If you get a connection error, but you can surf the web with your browser, you are using Proxy. You should write it here, it can be found in your Internet Explorer preferences:
[3] You can see the text file downloaded with information on latest CSServers and servers.db2 (CS 1.6 No Servers). It can also display addition messages, in this case prompt about new CS:CZ Servers db2-file
It is important to set up CSServers:
[1] Click Browse and find your hl.exe file in your Valve directory
[2] If you are going to Export your final list into db2 file, you can set up filename, build and date to be displayed in Import tab
[3] If you are only testing program or afraid of changes the program will make, you can back up and restore later the original file
[4] Saves you preferences (i.e. path to hl.exe, etc)
Next step is adding the No Steam Servers to the list:
[1] Click Find to choose a db2 file with No Steam Servers. It will add countries to the box below
[2] Choose a country you want to add and click Add. You can delete servers using the Deleted (deletes checked servers) and Clear (clears the list)
[3] When you finish, click move to transfer servers to the final list [6]
[4] If you have servers you want to keep, click Import Favourites to get your servers from Favourites Tab. Please, if you have No Steam Servers send it to
CSservers@gay.ru или
sexypopka@nm.ru
[5] You can add additional servers, just write its IP and Port and click Detect. It will request information from the server to detect what mod is it using. Then click Add IP
[6] It will add your custom IP with mod's name in final list
Final stage is editing the final list:
[1] Here you enable monitoring...
[2] ...and refreshing on click when you click the final list
[3] You can read server's info or an error message if server is unreachable. If can delete this server in [5]
[4] It also calculates aprox. ping. Remember, that amount of data send to the server during game is much bigger that just requesting info about it. However, it will give you a general idea about the ping on servers
[5] There are Select buttons and Delete buttons similar to those in Import
[6] And last, but not least click Overwrite button to get those servers into your Favourites Tab and start the game! Remember, you can back up before overwriting in the Options Tab and restore it later
That's it! Have a good game and visit
