How to use CS 1.6 server.cfg generator?

  1. Enter the name, the RCON password and, if needed, the join password.

  2. Set the rounds (mp_roundtime, mp_freezetime, mp_c4timer), money and friendly fire.

  3. Adapt the rates (sv_maxrate, sv_maxupdaterate) to your connection.

  4. Download server.cfg, put it in the cstrike/ folder and change map or restart.
