I will.. If theres any other way to contribute other than paypal i will contribute.
He cheyenne lol do you use the steam to run the CS 1.6 because today i turned it on and i got updating....
and every time i close the game and then reopen i need the cd-key again and then the game runs.... (thats how it was before)
but now...i put the cd-key in and it goes to check with steapowered.com for their database on the cd-keys lol
I tried like 100 today and it sais like that they have that cd-key in their database and that someone is using it already....dunno wtf lol...Do i need to download a new one running without steam or wat?
I still need to get the game... but count me in.
I'll get it this weekend so I can start playing and to get a feel for it. Most FPS games are very similar... so it shouldn't take too long to get used to it.
What exactly do I need to get? Just the game? Any add-ons?
lol script kiddie.
I have no idea, I've never played CS before. lol
I did read a thing thought that they updated steam. I guess its some sort of anti hack/cheat program.
i don't guess yours is a legit copy of CS?
arg!! no 1.6 - it is not stable (as your finding out) and any hard-core CS player will tell you it is not as good as 1.5
well can def count me in :)
well get my copy of CS back this weekend so as soon as you lot are ready to go I will be 2!! hoping to get at least bare bones of clan site up as well - if anyone has any graphic design skills and wants to help out give me a shout.....gonna be based on the exoops portal with some mods

phishphreek80, to have CS 1.6, you need to a valid Half-Life Cd Key (I bought Half-Life for 20$ in Canadian $$) and you also need to download a 750 Mg file. I lost the link where I download it. Maybe someone can give it to you! You install Half-Life then the 750 Mg install shield, a few Steam patch and you're rdy to go!
SK, See if what you are looking for is @

I'm going out to get the game today. I'm assuming that all I need are these upgrade/patches?
From my experience with admining several cs servers in the past, and present, you definetly want to stay away from 1.6 steam. Its a pile of crap. Valve has taken the wrong turn for their product and has almost killed it in the process. They have turned CS into the MS of FPS games. Trust me when I say, you will not want the headaches of admining a 1.6 box. Although there lies a problem with this. In order for 1.5 to work, it must check your cd key against a database of valves. Because they are pushing 1.5 on us, this 1.5 authentication system (wonid auth) is being dismattled at an unspecified date. This will cause all the 1.5 servers to be unable to authenticate players who join. Although the gaming community I am admin with, www.michiganburbs.com , is currently working on a system that can be placed into service after valve takes theirs down, to continue to allow 1.5 to work. Valve had said it was going to take their 1.5 system down months ago, but still hasn't. There are still to many bugs in 1.6 and they know it. I doubt they will ever get 1.6 fully functional.
I would also suggest that you setup an amx_admin system on the box, and also PTB system for team balancing. If your going to have friendly fire on you will also need to put an amx mod to control team killing, as it gets out of hand otherwise.
If you need any help deciding on what to do with the server, please ask me. I have been around cs for a long time and have even gone so far as to make custom maps for it. If done properly, the cs server can be one of the most popular around.
I will play and contribute to the l33t server fund....
I think xmaddness definitely needs to be an admin of the server.
As I really don't know much about CS.
The company that I've been looking at, of course gives you ftp access and a couple other things to install mods or whatever you want. If you don't mind it xmad, might be best if you were in charge of mods, and steam and everything else that comes with using CS. If thats allright with everyone else.
Yeah, I could take a look at it and get it going no prob. If anyone else wants to learn about it also, I'd be happy to teach them how things work in cs land. That way I could hand over the server to someone else once its all up. That way more than one person knows what is going on and can fix things in the absence of someone else.

Thats the place I was looking at.
If you know of a better place with cheaper prices though, let me know. lol
xmad :: you got my vote ;)
and I'll also be your grasshopper - lol
done a lil bit of admin before - never actually fiddling with mods etc just ensuring people behaved themselves in the game - but that ws a long time ago
so when we gonna get this up and running?? cheyenne do you ahve a paypal account set up?
v_Ln
I would be interested in helping/learning about admining of the server.
I will play but i don't have credit card neither checks... too young. Maybe other way.?.?
Not really sure of another way gbinaryR.
Yeah I got the paypal set up val. I'm just figuring out how to get a link or something so people can donate. lol
The only way that I know to donate money right now, is for you people to go to paypal.com, then click send money.
Now you already have to have a paypal account set up, but you can pay with credit card. I'm just trying to figure this out real quick, I've never used paypal before lol
Well I know this sounds kinda weird and all, but I'm having a time with paypal. lol
has someone else here ever used paypal before, and maybe know how it works better?
What problems are you having with Paypal. I have a account and have had no problems.
well I'm trying to see how I can get a link to have people donate.
I know you can donate by credit card, I'm just not sure how. lol
I have a personal account set up with them.
Do I tell people to just get a create a paypal account then donate to the AO one that way?
I have only seen it done like this...
http://www.safer-networking.org/inde...&page=download
Through a form that posts to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

PM me and maybe we can set something up where I can host a page on my personal server with a link like that.....
If this is what you are looking for...
Ok, its not perfect yet, but go to
www.hostultra.com/~cheyenne1212
The paypal link is there. Now I'm trying to get the images to pop up, but it will let you click on the link.
You must have a paypal account also.
So if you want to donate before xmas go ahead, or wait till afterwards. More than likely, the server won't be running till after the New Year.
LOL don't ask me lmao I never did paypal and im not going to til I check all the stuff out or til somone explains how it actually works lol
BTW SDK on your post on page 1 you dont need original half-life and all that to play cs 1.6...just download steam cs 1.6 it worked like 2 days ago lol...now they updated it and the cd-keys wont work no more :( too bad
Uhh sry for posting again lol like I said my IE still messed up and wont show some stuff sometimes....anyways is it just me or the image souce is not there on the website...i get the field with an red X on all of the image files and no pictures or nothing lol....fix ya site :D
Yeah, I gotta put the image source their. lol
Cheyene- Take a look at this:
http://krypt.com/services/pricing.php#cs
16 Man server for $34.95.. Pretty good.
I know how to do PayPal e-commerce accounts thru my web design. Gimme your email address for paypal and I can put together a php script that will keep track of who contributed what amount and keep it all in a database. It may not be up in a day or two, put its definetly easy to do.
Definietly cheaper than VSK.
Thats probably better. lol
Just PM'ed you with my email address xmad.
ok well i have got halflife again - and i always keep a copy of the patches fro CS on cd ;)
plus bought new headset/mic today - so am ready to go :)

http://www.counter-strike.net/mod_full.html
I think thats it.
I might be wrong though.
If you have the retail installed (right out of the box) you need-
Cs 1005.exe
If you have a Hl mod installed you need-
Csv15full
Ok let me ask you this then.
I bought all of the halflife games. ONe of the games is Half Life: Counter Strike.
What do I need to download?
If its a yellow box, get cs1005
Gimme your aim and i'll send it over - unless you want to wait in lines :D
I don't have AIM.
I do have msn and yahoo though.
Alright - add turquoiseballoon you your YIM list, ill be on real soon
http://ftp.physics.auth.gr/pub/mirro...ish/cs1005.exe
