SERVER.CFG
You can do two things:

1) Get my server.cfg here. Open the file with notepad and make sure you change sv_region, hostname and rconpassword. Feel free to change any other settings you like or delete the settings you don’t need or want. Place the file server.cfg in the following directory: C:\cssource\cstrike\cfg\

2) When above link is not working: Copy and paste the text below in a text- or notepadfile and make sure you change sv_region, hostname and rconpassword. Feel free to change any other settings you like or delete the settings you don’t need or want.
Afterwards save the file as server.cfg in the following directory: C:\cssource\cstrike\cfg\

If you have setup CS 1.6 servers or other non-Source servers before then I recommend not using those server.cfg 's anymore, because some commands have changed or are not working anymore! Here you can find a Source cvarlist so you can compare it with your old server.cfg 's or you can use the server.cfg below: Source cvarlist

It is possible that some commands are not working anymore, this has happened before after an update, but all of the commands below are on the official Source Cvarlist, so hopefully Valve will fix it with the next update. And this said, my server.cfg doesn't have all the possible commands, but it has the most used.

Here starts the Server.cfg you can copy and paste...

MOTD
As explained above a MOTD is the first screen you see when you connect as a player, wich can contain info about the server. You can find the MOTD in the following file:

C:\cssource\cstrike\motd.txt

Open this file and you will see text that's used for webpages. So if you know how HTML works you can easily create a nice webpage for your MOTD, just make sure you name it motd.txt and replace the original one in the above directory. It's even possible to show your clanwebsite on the MOTD and use an image or a sound. You'll find examples if you scroll down with your mouse.

If you don't know much about HTML then look for this line in the motd.txt:

quote:<body scroll="no">
<pre>
You are playing Counter-Strike v1.6
Visit the official CS web site @
ww.counter-strike.net
<a href="http://www.counter-strike.net">Visit Counter-Strike.net</a>
</pre>
</body>

You can delete the blue text and type any other text instead. With <br> you can create an 'Enter'. If you want a bigger lettertype you will have to use this parameter:
<font size="+x">text</font>
And if you want to center the text you will have to use this:
<center>text</center>

Here is an example that will show how it's done:

quote:<body scroll="no">
<pre>
<center><font size="+2">Welcome to the
<br>
-=ViViD=- Clan CS Source Server</font></center>
<br>
<br>
<center>FF and teambalancing are on</center>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font size="+1">Just Behave & Enjoy</font>
</pre>
</body>

It will create more or less the following output in the MOTD:
(without the points ofcourse)

quote:
..................................Welcome to the
......................-=ViViD=- Clan CS Source Server

............................................FF and teambalancing are on


Just Behave & Enjoy

Image & Sound
If you know how HTML works then you know what to do with these lines to give your MOTD an image and/or a sound:

quote:<img src="http://www.vividclan.com/cstrike/vividlogo.jpg" width="356" height="356">

<NOEMBED> <BGSOUND src="http://www.vividclan.com/cstrike/real.wav"> </NOEMBED>

And keep in mind not to make the jpeg or the wav to big in pixels or bytes; 100 kb or less is fine.

Your Webpage as MOTD
It's possible to show your (clan)website as a MOTD. To do this you need to replace everything between:

quote:<head>
</head>

in the motd.txt with the following text:

quote:<head>
<title>Cstrike MOTD</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mysite.com/index.htm">
</head>

And then ofcourse change the www.mysite.com/index.htm with your websitelink.

RCON & MODS
RCON is a very basic and timetaking way of controlling your server, I prefer to use MOD's. A MOD is like an add-on to your CS Source Server. It can give extra options to control your server, like weaponrestrictions, reserved slots or punishments. Because Source is a different engine, MOD's used for CS 1.6 and older are not working for CS Source!

There is a build in MOD in the Source engine and people already made some plugins for it, you can find those plugins here, but you'll have the find out yourself how to install them, but do some reading on that forum and you'll probably find your way.

A MOD that is not yet finished (dec 2004), but looks very promising (so keep this in mind!) for the Source engine is:

SourceMod
Look in the forums for more info.

MOD's can make it easier and give you more possibillities, but if you don't know how to use or to install MOD's, then RCON is probably your best option to control your server. I'm gonna teach you how to use RCON from a Client PC!

Client PC = PC you play CounterStrike Source on
Server PC = PC you installed CounterStrike Source Ded Server on
(Those two can be installed on the same PC!)

Rcon Password
RCON stands for Remote CONtrol and in your server.cfg you can change the RCON password, look for the following line:

rcon_password "yourRCONpasswordhere"

Make up your own RCON password and replace it with yourRCONpasswordhere.

Sit in front of your Client PC and go to:

X:\Steam\SteamApps\youraccountname\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
(where X is the letter of your drive, where you installed Steam)

and you will find autoexec.cfg, open this file with notepad. If you don't have a autoexec.cfg, then open notepad, so we can make a new one.

Now put the following line in your autoexec.cfg or in the notepadfile you just opened:

rcon_password "yourRCONpasswordhere"

Ofcourse fill in the RCON password you've used in your server.cfg. Now save the file or if you made a new one save it as autoexec.cfg in the following directory:

X:\Steam\SteamApps\youraccountname\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg
(where X is the letter of your drive, where you installed Steam)

We now have made sure that our RCON password is being autoloaded everytime we start the game CS Source on the Client PC, so we don't need to type it in manually everytime.

Console
Start your CounterStrike Source Dedicated Server now!
We are going to connect to it with the Client PC any minute now.

We need the console to control our server, so sit in front of your Client PC and start the game CounterStrike Source. Go to Options, then Keyboard, then click Advanced... and make sure that Enable developer console (~) is enabled. Hit OK when finished.

Now press the "~" key (=key left to the key 1) and a console window should pop up now!

Commands
In the bottom of the console window you can type all sorts of commands to control your server, but to do this you must first connect to your server. So now find your server in the list and connect your Client PC to your Server PC.
When connected let's try one command, type this in the bottom of the console window and hit enter:

rcon changelevel de_dust2

If all is well the map is changing to de_dust2

Here is a list of commands you can type/use:

rcon status
will give you a status of your server with a list of players and their ID's/IP's, very usefull, because by selecting and using ctrl C and ctrl V, you can easily copy/paste a name, ID or IP number. The first list of numbers is a list of userid's. After the list of names you will have a list of uniqueid's and the last list is a list of IP's.

rcon kickid x (x=userid or uniqueid)
kick someone by his userid or uniqueid

rcon banid m x kick (m=minutes ban, m=0 means permanent ban, x=uniqueid)
example: rcon banid 0 STEAM_0:0:123456 kick, player with the uniqueid STEAM_0:0:123456 is now kicked and banned forever.

rcon addip m x (m=minutes ban, m=0 means permanent ban, x=IP)
example: rcon addip 45 212.234.555.346, player with the IP 212.234.555.346 is now banned for 45 minutes.
In the statuslist you see probably something like this: 212.234.555.346:43621 in order to ban someone using the IP, you must not use the red part in the command.

rcon writeid
this will write a file with all the uniqueid's that you have banned so far. This is necessary once in a while, because if you restart your server, all your banned ID's will be lost if they have not been written in a file.

rcon writeip
this will write a file with all the IP's that you have banned so far. This is necessary once in a while, because if you restart your server, all your banned IP's will be lost if they have not been written in a file.

rcon removeid x (x=uniqueid)
to remove a uniqueid from the file, in other words you can repair what you have done with the command writeid.

rcon removeip x (x=IP)
to remove an IP from the file, in other words you can repair what you have done with the command writeip.

rcon changelevel y (y=mapname)
this will change maps, here is a list of original mapnames:

cs_italy
de_dust
de_aztec
de_dust2
cs_office
de_chateau
de_cbble
de_piranesi
cs_havana

rcon mp_restartgame m (game restarts in m seconds)

rcon say "blablabla"
if you want to talk to everyone on the server, you can use this option.

rcon killserver
this will shut down your server.

The next list of commands can also be used in your server.cfg. If you scroll up with your mouse you will find a chapter called server.cfg and in it some explanations of the following commands...
BUT be aware that after every mapchange your server.cfg is loaded again, so every change you've made with these commands is lost in the new map!:

rcon mp_timelimit 45
rcon mp_winlimit 14
rcon mp_maxrounds 21
rcon mp_roundtime 4
rcon mp_freezetime 4
rcon mp_buytime 1
rcon mp_startmoney 800
rcon mp_c4timer 35
rcon mp_flashlight 0/1
rcon mp_footsteps 0/1
rcon mp_autoteambalance 0/1
rcon mp_limitteams 0/1
rcon mp_friendlyfire 0/1
rcon mp_tkpunish 0/1
rcon mp_autokick 0/1
rcon mp_forcecamera 0/1
rcon mp_allowspectators 0/1
rcon mp_spawnprotectiontime 10
rcon sv_timeout 40

Unfortunately it happens that after an update some commands are not working anymore, hopefully Valve will change that in a next update.
