How to Do Bunny Hop in Counter Strike

How to Do Bunny Hop in Counter Strike !
         
         Steps:
  • Move forward by pressing "W" key for initial momentum.
  • now Unpress/RELEASE the 'w' key press the strafe key (D or A) and move your mouse in the direction of the strafe (ie: if 'A' move mouse left in a little arc or if 'D' move mouse right by say 30 degrees) + JUMP (spacebar)
  • This will cause a forward curved jump , in the left or right direction( Now on you must not use W key to move forward).
  • When your just about to land after the first jump, hit the opposite strafe key and curve your mouse in the same direction of your strafe and hit jump EXACTLY when you land after the first jump. Doing this a little too early or little too late will cut the bunny hop
  • IF You got the timing and mouse movement (synchronised)right you will quickly move forward faster, and you will need to repeat Steps 2 to 4 repeatedly.
  • Watch the video below to make thing more clear.



Script method










Alternatively:
  • Download Bunnyhop.cfg and place it inside "cstrike" folder of your conterstrike installtion location.
  • run your game , open console window, type "exec hop.cfg"
  • use mouse scroll wheel to do bunny hop.
Manually:
  • Create a new file hop.cfg inside HDD:\HLDS\cstrike folder (e.g. D:\cs\cstrike)
where:
HDD ----> drive in which you have installed counterstrike
HLDS ----> name of your installation drictory
cstrike ----> this folder is where your all maps,sounds etc resides.
  • Add these lines (shown below) into it
bind "mouse3" "+hop"
alias -hop "alias _special"
alias +hop "alias _special @hop;@hop"
alias @hop "special;wait;+jump;wait;-jump"

Note:generally mouse3 is the scrollwheel (middle button) of your mouse , alternatively you can also use "mouse4" inplace of "mouse3" if you have more buttons on you mouse , like i have Razer Copperhead.
  • open config.cfg in notepad (located in HDD:\HLDS\cstrike folder) and in the end of file add this line (shown below):
exec hop.cfg
  • Now start your hl.exe i.e counterstrike game, hop.cfg will be executed at every game start.
  • While you play just rotate scrollwheel (middle button) to perform bunny hop , also change your mouse direction at the same time.
Happy Bunny Hopping !

Counter Strike Skins








Counter Strike  Skins, Weapons, Players, Models CS 1.6


Wine Bottle Skin.zip 
HoT Chick Skin.zip 
BackPack Skin.zip
BIG Tree.zip 
                                                                                                                   Counter strike skins image

counter strike skins

Are you bored of default cs 1.6 skins ? Those weapons & players,do you want them to look better & different for better counter strike look?
If yes then you have come at right place.

Both Pics Looks cool ? Read it on

So What exactly we are trying to do ....?

We  are changing the default looks of weapon (M4A1 in this case) called as Counter Strike Skins change.
  • Left Corner Pic is by default skin of m4a1.
  • Right Corner Pic is modified skin of m4a1.
This is called Counter strike Skins change .
Similarly we can change the skin of  other Weapons, and player models ....too.





INSTALLATION:
                                       For WEAPONS SKINS

1) When you download Counter strike skins package ,you will get a .zip or .rar file
2) you need winrar to extract it. get it here
3) After you extract it. If u get a folders like cstrike\models\xxxxx.mdl
  Copy those .mdl files and paste in "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\steam_username\counter-strike\cstrike\models\"
4) If you just get .mdl files then do same
  where C is partition where steam is installed and 'Steam_username' is your steamID
  Press Yes to All when it ask to replace
5) If u are using non steam
  Then you should paste .mdl files in "C:\Program Files\Valve\cstrike\models\" & replace existing one's

                                  For Counter Strike skins PLAYER SKINS ( MODELS)

1) Extract the .zip or .rar file
2) Either you will get a folders like cstrike\models\player\leet\leet.mdl
3) Or just leet.mdl (leet.mdl is just example,it can be guerilla.mdl depending on what type of skin it is)
4) copy/paste that .mdl file as in case of installing weapons skins but paste it in cstrike\models\player\\
  For eg. if the skins file you get is guerilla.mdl , paste it in cstrike\models\player\guerilla\
5) There is no step 5 this time :P , start game and enjoy

Keep on vising for new and  better counter strike skins :)

STEAM validation rejected

steam validation rejected image
STEAM validation rejected Counter-Strike: Condition Zero:Counter Strike Source.

Many Times we happen to encounter this STEAM validation rejected error message which is very annoying so here i am trying to provide the best possible solutions known to me.


steam validation rejected image


Possible Solutions for STEAM validation rejected Counter-Strike: Source: Condition Zero:

1. Something messed up the Steam App ID so change it accordingly.
Change the App ID as the application ID's have changed with the protocol 48 update:

Steps:
a)Go to the mod folder within your HLDS installation,
b)Create a text file steam_appid.txt.
c)Inside the text file, punch in the number for the new Steam application ID. Just a number. Nothing else.



List of new app ID's

Half-Life Deathmatch and GoldSrc 3rd Party Mods (valve, ns, svencoop, and others): 70
Counter-Strike 1.6 (cstrike): 10
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (czero): 80
Day of Defeat 1.3 (dod): 30
Deathmatch Classic (dmc): 40
Opposing Force Deathmatch (gearbox): 50
Ricochet (ricochet): 60
Team Fortress Classic (tfc): 20

2.IF you are using a patch to correct this error and doesnot own the game legally you must get the Original Game first first and then Update it (Best legal Solution so far for STEAM validation rejected error). and please dont expect to give you some patch to stop the error as it deals with the login validation details.

3.IN Mod folder try changing file name ClientRegistry.Blob to ClientRegistryOld.blob.

4. Have you tried changing the value of " sv_lan 0 " to "sv_lan 1" in console... ? if not try it..  :-)

Hope this should have resolved your problem. Any comments ?

counter strike hacks,downloads,aimbot,cd key,cheats

Counter Strike hacks,downloads,aimbot,cd key,cheats

HI Guys...

Once again this Guide will give you Latest and Best Counter strike hacks .... in no time..!

So Lets Get Started...!

But before i give you all those important Hacks,Cheats,antic VAC codes, let me tell you my experience.. a very True Experience..!

Today it was a normal day ... like it used to be ... and I opened up my laptop and started playing counter strike but as the day passes by i got fairly angry with my self ... Do you know why ...? Because i was having the lowest score on the score chart....!

So ... to get on top in shortest possible time i started googleing Counters strike latest hacks and Cheats .... Fortunatly i found one.... i was really happy...

Now various thoughts flashed before my eyes...like

I would knife every One in no time

I would get all the headshots....

People will be amazed by my proness ...

So I just Downloaded the all those programs from here

(Let me tell you one more thing... the PC on which i used to play counter strike contained all my valuable data gathered over several years of hardwork ...)

Now that Hack is being Downloaded ... and i was ready to frighten ppl on several servers...

I opened the hack file using WinZip and i extracted all the contents on my desktop..

and found some winzix file which is to opened using special software... so i feel thats not a problem ... and i Moved ahead and Opened the webpage on which that winzix software was located..

The Moment i I opened that webpage ....

I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE WHAT WAS BEING DISPLAYED IN FRONT MY EYES..


Hackers are Lame creatures



Thank to NOD32 ... it saved me from such a grave mis happening..

I realised just to make ppl on server Amazed or try to piss them off... we download such sad hacks and every time we execute them

  • We risk our Valuable data ....
  • We risk our Credibilty...
  • We expose our PC to outside bad world ... crackers,hackers,Trojans,virus,hidden malware...
  • We get black listed in Internet Crime Control Authorities ... and they own all sorts of rights to sue you at any time ... They start tracking your Computer too..!

and Then We complain that ...

  • PC is running too slow ...
  • Game is Laggin...

So Hackers get a life and Dont be an animal ...

Q:You may ask ... then why do they release such hacks and cheats...?

Ans: For the simple reason that they want your computer to be included in their BOT NET list

BOT NET is nothing but the network of computers which can be controlled by hackers and Other bad guys ... so that if federal agencies are to caught them ... they will catch you and blame you for all the losses that are being made from your PC to others System...and so on...!

Q: I've downloaded the hack ... what should i do now ..?

Ans: You would notice that most of the hacks are in .exe file .... and those .exe file is definate to have viruses and trojans trapped inside ... everytime you run them you invite hackers to gain more easy access to your PC and valuable documents...and pictures... which they may use against you as well..!

If it not .exe file than it is abousolutely something which you have absolutrly no idea about it...So better delete the file straight away ... and dont look back..!

I Hope this should have Opened your Eyes... Wide..!

But just in case if you are still not convinced ...

Download this latest Hack,Cheat for Counter Strike

and Get your PC infected with all sorts of Viruses,Trojans,Malwares, ...

Keep trying till your Computer becomes a BOT for the bad world..!

You have to be really noob if you still dont understand the point ....dontsearching

Remember EveryTime You Hack... You are Ligible to be called as Criminal

Learn How to make Multiple Counter Strike (CS1.6) Servers (more than one server) ?

How to make more than one server in cs 1.6.?

Many Cs 1.6 geeks asked me how to host more than one CS1.6 Server on same PC... ?

This is how you should do it

Assumptions:

  • You have little fast computer (now a days , people normally do have sufficciant configuration to run multiple server running).
  • You are using Windows XP or Windows 2000 (9x and NT not recommended)

Steps:

  • Go to http://thearticlebytes.com/bloggercontent/ to calculate how many players you can handle at most (so You must know your Upload speed .... to find out go to Speedtest.net )
  • Now divide the players in such a way that when all of them added should give you the total player capacity of your server. (we calculated in step 1)
  • For eg. If you have total of 24 player capacity then you can have several servers running with different configuration like
  • a) two Servers of 12 players capacity each so that 12+12 =24
  • b)one 4players capacity , Second 12 player capacity, third 8 player capacity .. so that 4+12+8 = 24 Players in total. ....... I Hope you get the idea..!
  • Make sure you have made all the settings correct for each server running... else read this! e.g sv_maxrate , sv_maxupdaterate
  • Now launch you servers one after another (Use console mode for each not GUI) and make required changes for each by manually changing their sv_maxrate,sv_maxupdaterate using this Server Rate Chart .
  • Most Importtant: Donot Forget to change port for every server you create i.e. for 4 servers created should have 4 different ports assingned. Please have a look at images below. you can also download them
  • Image Multiserver (Full Size)
  • Image Portchange (Full Size)

Multi Server

Different Port Set for each Server

Caution:

  • Never Play on same PC on which you are hosting your servers......

Thanks ! ..... So have i missed something ? anything else you wanna share ?

Counter Strike (Cs 1.6 ) Server Rate Chart and Calculator..!

How to Find Best Counter Strike (CS 1.6) Server Rates .. ?

Note: You wont find this type of Chart anywhere else so .... please recommend this site to your friends too ...

For All you Server Operators Out there ... I have prepared this Server Rate Chart... For you only.. so that your server should operate @ minimum lag and minimum response time !

These are the most important Settings that you must configure properly for your server:

1.sv_maxrate

2. sv_minrate

3. sv_maxupdaterate

4. maxplayers

5. sv_voicecodec voice_speex

6. sv_voiceenable 0

7. sv_voicequality 2

Please not i have done "sv_voiceenable 0" coz just incase if u enable it (sv_voiceenable 1) then the quality wont cause much of lag and loss...!

Q:How to Use This Chart?

Ans:Simple ! Just go to Speedtest.net and check your Upload Speed (Download speed is not so important) and Match it with the Nearest Possible value mentioned in the chart This way you will get the most optimum values for:

sv_maxrate

sv_maxupdaterate

maxplayers

sv_minrate 0 (it is will remain zero in all cases)

then just put these values in your server.cfg file

Note: If you want the Best values Please use this Dynamic Server Rate Calculator ... !

also Note the Chart is for Windows servers Only ... not for Linux based.

Formulae Used in Makin Chart:

For Windows:

sv_minrate = 0 (always)

sv_maxupdaterate = sv_maxrate/300

sv_maxrate =125 x uploadspeed / number_of_players_you_want

When sv_maxrate is constant:

1.sv_maxrate 8000

bandwidth in Kbps / 64 = recommended number of slots

2.sv_maxrate 6000

bandwidth in Kbps / 48 = recommended number of slots

3.sv_maxrate 4000

bandwidth in Kbps / 32 = recommended number of slots

4.sv_maxrate 3000

bandwidth in Kbps / 24 = recommended number of slots


For Linux:

sv_maxupdaterate = sv_maxrate/200

In Look Up Chart

Where:

1.sv_maxrate = Maximum Rate of Server

2. sv_minrate = Minimum rate of Server (it should always be Zero)

3. sv_maxupdaterate = How many frames per sec you are allowing for you clients to get.

4.Max players = maximum number of players you wish to allow.

5. Play Quality = how smooth your play will be for you and players on your Server (Clients)

Learn How to make Counter Strike ( CS ) 1.6 Map .... !

Note: This tutorial is an original work of SuperJer.com and All the credits belongs to him only also the article is mentioned on this site to make people more aware of the process of making CS 1.6 maps without of a much difficulty..! No modifications are being made in the article.

Courtsey: All credits to SuperJer.com for making this wonderful tutorial ..!

How to make Counter Strike (CS ) 1.6 Map .... ?

Get Learned!TUTORIAL
"I want to make CS maps but don't know where to start!"

I hear this all the time. And instead of kicking people in the face and throwing them in the gutter for trying to talk to me, I thought I'd change my ways and write this little helpy page. Note: this is for people who have ABSOLUTELY no clue about making maps for HL or HL mods. So, if that is you, and you need to be told what to do, read on, little doggy!

This guide is NOT for CS:Source or HL2 etc.

If you have less time watch the video



This guide IS for original Counter-Strike (v1.6 or older). However, it is a good starting point to learn to map for similar games.

Step 1 - Get the DopeINSTALL
You can't make something out of nothing, so grab yourself a shiny new copy of the "Valve Hammer Editor" and also get the "ZHLT Compilers". These are absolutely required to make maps for HL games.

Direct link to Hammer Editor (v3.4)
Direct link to ZHLT Compilers (v2.53r17)


The Valve Hammer Editor, henceforth referred to as "Teh Hammre" is what you will use to physically build your map. With it you decide the placement of walls, textures, player starts etc.. ZHLT converts, or compiles your map so that Half-Life can load and play it.

Install Teh Hammre and start the program. Click NO when it asks you something upon starting up. You should look at the help guide later but for now it has too much information all at once. Then you should see something similar to this:

Window

It's time to configure!


Get Learned! Step 2 - Plug It InCONFIGURE

Many new users of Teh Hammre are so scared by the configuring process that they run away, never to come back. There's a TON of stuff to set up! The trick is that you can ignore most of it, so here's all you need to do:

1) Click the Game Configurations tab
2) Click the Edit button
3) Click the Add button in the dialog that pops up
4) Type "cstrike" in the textbox
5) Click the OK button
6) Click Close
7) Now click the Add button on the big Configure window
8) Add the file called "halflife-cs.fgd" ..Locationof fgd file?... or
Download halflife-cs.fgd here...Google will get directories listed...open anyne and download .fgd file ....Else get this
9) Click the Textures tab
10) Click the Add WAD button
11) Add the file called "cstrike.wad" Location of wad file? or
Download cstrike .wad FILE
12) All done -- click OK to close the big Configure window

You can get back to the Configure window by selecting Tools->Options from the menu bar. You should go there and look around once you are familiar with map design.

If you completed everything on this page, you're now ready to start building!

Get Learned! Step 3 - Buildin' BlocksBRUSHES
You should have Teh Hammre open, so now select File->New from the menu bar. You should now see 4 big black rectangles, or viewports, labelled camera, top, front and side. To the right, you should see a panel that looks like this:

Office Map

That panel shows what texture is currently selected. A texture is a picture that is plastered onto a wall, floor, ceiling, or surface in a 3d game. You've probably seen them before. You can choose a new texture by clicking the Browse button. It will display a list of all the textures you have loaded right now. (Remember opening the file 'cstrike.wad'? That's where these textures came from.)

Once you have selected a texture that makes your heart filled with gladness, click the button on the left that looks like this:

Office Map

This is the brush creation tool. A brush is a 3d chunk of space defined by a few surfaces. For example, a cube is defined by 6 surfaces or planes. Move your mouse pointer over the viewport labelled 'top'. It should look like a plus with a fuzzy rectangle. Now click and drag on the grid in the top viewport to draw a rectangle. When you let go of the drag, the rectangle should turn white and 8 little white handles should appear around it. You can use the handles to resize your rectangle.

KEY POINT: Look at the other viewpoints. Your rectangle is actually a 3d box! Isn't that rad? What you need to get used to is looking at a 3d object from different 2d views. If you can master that, you'll be able to create just about anything you like!

Now notice that you can resize your box in all 3 viewports. This may not seem important now, but when you are building a complex shape later, this is super-duper useful. Also try clicking inside your box and dragging it. This is how you move it around.

Now hit Enter on your keyboard. Your box should have turned blue or green, meaning it actually exists now. Before it was just a plan. You can click on your box, or brush, like I said earlier, and it will turn red. In Hammer, when something is red, that means it is selected. You can resize and move selected brushes just like you did before.

Now glue on your wings because it's time to get to the next page, Sally!

Get Learned! Step 4 - Learn to FlyCAMERAS

See that big juicy red button that looks like this?

camera button

That's the camera button, and we're going to use it to look at stuff! So click it and enter camera mode. In camera mode you can't move brushes around, you can only look around. So, hold shift and click and drag in the top viewport from A to B as shown:


Office Map

That's how you create a new camera. The blue circle is the eye and the red line is the direction of sight. By clicking on either end you can move them around. To delete a camera, just press Delete on your keyboard while it is selected (red).

If you created your camera correctly, you should see a 3d box in the upper left viewport like this:

Office Map

If you don't see it, look in your top, front and side viewports to make sure that the line of sight is pointing from the eye to your brush. If you STILL can't see it, make sure your camera isn't too close to your brush. Don't read further until you can see your brush in 3d!

If you can see your brush in 3d, left click and hold in the 3d viewport and move the mouse around A LITTLE BIT. This is how you turn the camera view, or look around.

Now RIGHT click and hold in the 3d view and move the mouse A LITTLE BIT. This is how you move the camera in it's plane of vision -- any direction but forward. Get used to this and then continue reading.

Ok, now here's where it gets wild, LEFT AND RIGHT click at the SAME TIME and hold in the 3d view and move the mouse. This is how you move forward.

These controls may seem odd but once you get used to them you'll be able to fly around your map with the greatest of ease. The reason why I told you to move the mouse A LITTLE BIT is because if you move too much you can get lost in the scary blackness. If this happens to you, just create a new camera in the top viewport that is pointing at something to look at.

Now that you can fly, let's build a room...

Get Learned! Step 5 - PlumbingLEAK PROTECTION

Before I explain what a leak is, why don't you click where it says camera in the 3d view and select 3D textured:


Office Map

You should now see that your brush is wall-papered with that texture you picked earlier. You can click any of the viewport labels to change what each view is, but don't worry about that now. Back to the main subject, here's the most important point of all this:

Your job as a mapper is to build a 3d container that holds water (or beer).

Stunned? Let me explain. Think of brushes as solid blocks of wood you can glue together and build stuff with in real life. Now whatever you build, we're going to magically fill it with precious, precious beer. Then we're going to turn it upside down and shake it around A LOT. If any of the beer comes out, you have a leak. LEAKS ARE BAD. The biggest problem beginners have is leaks.

Take a look at this box, maybe it's going to be a room in a Counter-Strike map:


Office Map

It's got an open top, and that's not good. You know why? The beer! We're going to lose the beer! All we need to do is slide a brush on top to seal up the room:

Office Map

Only in picture 3 is the beer going to be safe. No matter what shape map you make it has to be all sealed up with NO leaks. Example:


Office Map

Check it out! This complicated system of rooms and hallways is just a bunch of brushes sitting in the right places. I made it by positioning each one where you see it:


Office Map

Now I want you to just build a single squarish room. So first, click on this button:

Office Map

That's the selection tool -- it's what you were using after you created your brush, when you moved it and stretched it. Now click on your brush to select it (in 3d or 2d view). It should turn red. Use the white handles in the 2d views to make it square and flat. It's going to be your floor.

It might be helpful to know that you can use the + and - keys on the FAR RIGHT EDGE of your keyboard to zoom in and out in the 2d views. Just put your mouse pointer over a 2d viewport and press keypad + or -.

Remember how you could move your brush by clicking on it (not the handles) and dragging it around? Try this: hold shift, click on your brush and move it to a different spot, then let go. You have to be holding shift when you let go on the mouse. If you do it right, you will have made a copy of your brush. Take this copy, and using the white handles, resize and move it to make a wall like this:

Office Map

Once you have done that, keep copying the wall to make the 3 other walls. Then copy the floor, and make a ceiling out of it. Be careful that you don't just move the originals! You need to COPY them -- it's easy to mess up.

When you're done, you should have something similar to the closed beer-box above. Try to move your camera into your room and look around. Then get ready for Step 6!

Get Learned! Step 6 - SprinklesENTITIES

Before we sprinkle some entities onto your map, let me show you one more thing about textures. Click the Browse button in the upper right by the little picture of the texture you picked earlier. Select a different looking texture. Then (in selection mode, not camera mode), click on your floor brush. Once it's turned red, click this button:

Office Map

As you hopefully noticed, this button applies the current texture to the selected brush(es). By the way, you can select more than one brush by holding Ctrl while clicking on brushes. Also, if you click in a 2d view, but not on a brush, and drag, you can make a selection box. When you hit enter, any brushes inside the box will turn red (selected). You should try this out a bit.

Back to business: we need to create a start point or two. Preferably one for CT and one for T. This is going to be pretty easy so just click the ugly light bulb of justice:

Office Map

This is the entity creation tool. Now, if you look to the right, you should see a panel like this:

Office Map

In the listbox titled Objects, or where it says 'ambient_generic' in the picture, choose 'info_player_start'. info_player_start is the CT start point entity. An entity is an object you can place in your map that has some special meaning to the game. Wherever you place info_player_start's is where each CT will start at the beginning of a round of Counter-Strike.

Now move your mouse pointer over the top 2d viewport. Your pointer should look like a creepy plus with an axe. Click inside your room and this will make a little green square with lines sticking out of it -- a locator. Make sure the locator is inside your room in ALL THREE 2D VIEWS. Then hit Enter on your keyboard. Now you should have a tall green box -- about the size of a Counter-Terrorist. As long as it is completely inside the room, you are ok. You can move it around with the selection tool (red arrow). Make sure it is not touching the floor or walls or ceiling because then the player will be stuck! It's ok if it's floating in the air. It's not ok if it's outside the room in invalid space because that is another way to get a LEAK error.

Now create another entity, but this time make an info_player_deathmatch. This is the Terrorist start point entity. In a real map you'd want 16 or so of each kind, but for this map 1 each is ok.

Now for the last addition to your map: a light source. It's another entity so choose 'light' from the Objects listbox. Put this inside your room as well, maybe near the ceiling. A light entity is just an invisible dot that radiates a little sunshine. You won't see a light fixture or anything inside the game -- you'd have to build that out of brushes.

Your light should look like a little pink box, and you know what we do to little pink boxes, right? We click on them! And they turn red! Once you have done this, press Alt-Enter. Alt-Enter is keyboard speak for "show me the properties!" This works all over the place, not just Hammer. Try clicking on a file in windows and pressing Alt-Enter.

Anyway, you should see this now:
Office Map

Notice the list of attributes. All entities have some attributes and some entities have lots. Click on Brightness. The value should be 255 255 128 200. The first three numbers are the color (yellow in this case) and the fourth number is the brightness. Leave the brightness alone but use the Pick color button to pick some god-awful color for your light to shine. When your're done, close the Object Properties window and save your map with File->Save.

I don't care where you save your map but don't close Hammer, just minimize it. (Don't use spaces in your map name.) Then continue:

Get Learned! Step 7 - Finish LineCOMPILE & PLAY

In Step 1 I told you to download the ZHLT Windows executables. That file should be a ZIP file so go ahead and extract all the files in it to a new folder on your hard drive. A good place for this is:

c:\zhlt\

Open that folder so you are looking at the contents:
Office Map

If you do not see file extensions on your files, like the '.exe', '.txt' above, then click here it's very important!

As shown in the picture, create a new text document by right clicking in the white-space and then using the pop-up menu. Name the file 'mapname.bat' where mapname is what you decided to call your map.

Go back into Hammer and click File->Export to .MAP. Save you map as 'mapname.map' in the folder where you just created 'mapname.bat'. Then close Hammer and go back to the folder where 'mapname.bat' is.

Now right click on 'mapname.bat' and choose Edit. This should cause Notepad to open with nothing in it. Type the following stuff into the document exactly as shown, replacing 'mapname' with whatever name you are actually using:

Without Steam
@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures mapname
hlbsp mapname
hlvis mapname
hlrad mapname
copy mapname.bsp "C:\half-life\cstrike\maps"
cd C:\half-life
pause
hl -dev -console -game cstrike +sv_cheats 1 +map mapname

"C:\half-life" may not be the correct location of Half-Life on your computer. Make sure you type the correct location on both the lines where it says that.

With Steam
@echo off
hlcsg -nowadtextures mapname
hlbsp mapname
hlvis mapname
hlrad mapname
copy mapname.bsp "C:\Steam\SteamApps\EMAIL\counter-strike\cstrike\maps"
pause
"C:\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 10 -dev +sv_cheats 1 +map mapname

"C:\Steam" may not be the correct location of Steam on your computer. Make sure you type the correct location on both the lines where it says that. Also replace "EMAIL" with your account name. And if you do not have a "maps" folder, create one.



When you're sure you have it right, save the file and close Notepad. Then double click on the file 'mapname.bat' to run it. Lot's of confusing stuff will show up in a command window as ZHLT compiles your map. When it is done you will see (at the bottom):

Press any key to continue . . .

Now do NOT press a key! First make sure nothing went wrong. Look in the folder where 'mapname.bat' is and if you see a new file called 'mapname.err' then your map FAILED to compile. If it failed, click here. Otherwise you can continue.

Go back to the command window and press any key. Counter-Strike will start and load your map in singleplayer mode. You will be able to use cheats like noclip and god and impulse 101 for testing. Try them! (You won't have a gun or anything until you type impulse 101 in the console.)

That's it! You've made your first map. Ain't you one special duckling!

If you are having a problem, believe me that thousands of people have had it before and discussed it on the following forums.

Then other forum-goers will be glad to help you!

Read the Help inside Hammer! It's surprisingly helpful. Don't forget to use the Index and Search tabs.

Using search engines like Google and Yahoo is a good idea, too, especially if you know basically what you are looking for. If you want to know how to make a sky in your map, try searching for "worldcraft half-life sky" (remember that Hammer is aka Worldcraft).

Finally, here is a list of miscellaneous things I think you should know.
Remember to save your map as a .map file in your compile folder before compiling each time.
Periodically save backups of your map in case you mess it up. You'll be glad you did.
In Hammer, press the [ and ] keys to change the fineness of the 2d grid. Use a big grid size to make walls and floors etc.. Use a fine grid to make detailed objects.
ALWAYS USE THE BIGGEST REASONABLE GRID SIZE for what you are building. This has many advantages:
Less likely to get leaks.
Map stays clean and easy to edit.
Faster compile times.
Don't use flashing lights much ever. They are very annoying even if you think they're cool when you first try them.
Lights in the real world are almost always white/offwhite/a little yellowy. Use colored lights carefully and only where they make sense. Newbies use too many colored lights.
Sunlight is ALWAYS white. Solid bright white light. The only exception is when sunlight enters the atmosphere at such a low angle that there is some slight pink or orange distortion.
Moonlight is NOT blue. Ever. It is low intensity white light.
Learn about the ZHLT compilers. They have lots of sweet options.
And learn to use texture lights instead of light entities!

Thanks for playing and good luck!

This tutorial will tell you how to make a counter strike movie / video

First of all let me tell you that we are not going to use fraps.
All videos made by fraps are encoded with fraps codec which is not open source.

1) You must know how to record demo's of counter strike.If you dont know goto End of this post & see Demo Recording section.
2) Play the demo by typing "viewdemo demoname" in console
3) Watch demo, from where you want to record your movie.
4) Type this in console "startmovie demo 90"
5) Game will go really slow as it is capturing all bmp ( dont minimize game)
6) when you want to stop recording type endmovie in console
7) Now you need to start Virtualdubmod.
8) Click on File>Open Video File
9) Browse to cstrike folder of your cs installation
10) you will see many .bmp's in that folder, that are the pictures of what we recorded
11) we will join those bmp's to make a video

14) Again Video menu & select compression
15) Select Uncompressed RGB on left side & click OK
16) Open video menu & select Frame rate.
17) Under Source Rate adjustment, select 'Change to' and type 90 there.
18) Then File>Save As , then save it with any name
19) The size of this avi file will be extremely large as it is uncompressed.
20) Now you have 1 clip of your movie, record as much as u want, but delete all bmp's from cstrike folder
Before you make another clip
21) After you have several clips, Edit them in Sony Vegas or Adobe After Effects or any other video editing software u want.
22) Then Select File>Render As.
23) Under Save as type, select "Video for Windows (*.avi) , then click custom on right side
24) A new window will open,select Default Template ( UNCOMPRESSED) on top menu & Select Best in "Video Rendering Quality"
