Counter Strike Source

Counter Strike Source

 

Counter Strike Source is a multiplayer, team based, FPS(First person shooter) modification game for the source engine used by Half Life 2. This version of Counter Strike is an upgraded release of the original game Counter Strike, which was itself a mod for the original Half Life.

The game involves two teams of players, the terrorists as the agressors and a Counter Terrorism unit that throughout a course of different scenarios battles against the terrorists to either rescue hostages, or prevent the placement of a bomb on one of two target zones. Each round continues until one of these goals is met or the either team manages to completely neutralise the opposing team.

 

The counter strike series has already proven itself to be the most played online first person shooter game and also holds the record for the most combined game servers for any single game online. The last non-official 'census' for gamers taken on May 2006 showed that Counter Strike was still the most played game in the world.

Game Servers

The transition from the old network to the new has finally been completed. We are happy that everything is finished and we can now start to relax after a grueling night of setups. You should now be able to access the control again at:

http://server.invision-gaming.co.uk however if this fails because of DNS propogation then you can use http://77.74.197.220

The teamspeak servers will be coming shortly and all web accounts have been fully configured.

If in the possible event we have missed your game server and its either running the old command line or just is not starting up you can submit a ticket on the support forum and we will get back to you shortly.

You can find out your IPs by logging into the control panel. Do not look at the game server profile page because we havent updated/syncronised this data yet but will have the final touches done within the next 12 hours.

For those of you that have placed an order during the past 14 hours once we are happy that everything is smooth your order will be immediately processed.

Thanks - And once again any questions can be asked on our support forum.

Counter Strike Source CSS Radar Commands

Often you will see in videos and screenshots from the 'Pros' that they have a different HU, wether it be a left handed player or a different sized cross hair, or possibly a different setting for the radar on your screen. Changing some of these settings can help you to improve your game play or maximise on your desktop space to get a full perspective of your view port. 

 

Below is a full list of all the commands that you can set to change the radar settings in your Counter Strike Source game by either setting them in your config settings or entering them directly in to your console.

CSS Tickrate

Counter Strike Source Tickrate

Many people are baffled, or at least very much confused when it comes to purchasing a server or playing on a server and finding out that there are different tickrates. The majority of gamers will know that the higher is better, but, what actually is tickrate on a games server? I have been in the gaming industry for a very long time and have advised people on what the difference between one server is and another, with regards to tickrate, but explaining the actual definition of server tickrate requires a much longer explaination then I have ever offered. The easiest way to explain tickrate in counter strike source servers is to use an analogy; that you must imagine your server is running on a heart beat of a ticking clock. Now, with each tick the server will perform certain tasks in game, such as processing any of the user inputs and updating anything in game. The tickrate is essentially the 'heart' behind the server and having a low tickrate means that the drive pushing through all the updates in game is delayed which means that everything will be much slower then a server with a higher tickrate.

Surf Map Servers

Making a CS:S Surf Game Server


During this surf map guide we are going to look at how to set up and configure a game server designed specifically for surf maps. For those who don't know what a surf map is, here is an explanation.


A surf map is a custom map made for HL2 Counter Strike Source. The idea of the map is to surf along the ramps and kill other people like normal gameplay. Surf maps are ideal for a mod. For example, the map surf_10x_final is a perfect map for the RPG (Role Playing Game) Mod. Of course you can use other mods such as Deathmatch.

Now in the first guide, the main focus was on optimising game servers to prospective visitors that have not even joined yet - although several 'onserver' options were mentions, this part 2 of the guide will primarily highlight the requirement for adding as many features as possible that the users want to see and some very advanced configuration options. (Only to be created by experts).

So, lets move on to part 2 of the increasing your game server popularity guide.
