New to the server world and I have a few quesitons:

1. I ordered a private server, but now that it is up it is public? How do I fix that, or because of the free two days is it public for that?

2. I have AMX mod and Admin mod on there and I want to get rid of one, can I just delete the files related to the mod and the other will work fine?

3. How do I set the password for the server?

Thanks for the answers guys!

Yes, to begin with its public, we rely on you to make the password by entering a line in server.cfg

Code: Select all

sv_password "password"

This also fixes question #3.

2. I have AMX mod and Admin mod on there and I want to get rid of one, can I just delete the files related to the mod and the other will work fine?

Yes that is correct, delete all files related to that one mod, simply go to FTP after the gameserver is shut down, and go to addons, then delete adminmod or amx folder. Once that is done, you need to delete the lines pertaining to amx or admin mod in the metamods/plugins.ini file.

If you deleted admin mod, you also need to remove the line at the bottom of server.cfg, that says exec addons/adminmod/adminmod.cfg

Other than that, you are set, and boot your server back up.

3. How do I set the password for the server?

Stated above.

Thanks for the answers guys!

if you have a public server and you add the line sv_password but leave the password part blank will it keep it unlocked. That way if you want to lock it you just throw a password in there and give it too the people that need it?

you have to have a password in there, or it will not be locked.

If you purchased a private server, it needs to be locked at all times, except for a little bit before a match or so, when someone cant get in with the current password (happens sometimes with cs retail)
