CS:GO FAQ

When there is an update, you can restart your server to have the update installed.

Game Mode, Game Type, what the heck is that? Well Game Mode and Game type work together in CSGO.
Game mode is the primary way to alter how your server will function. You can control things like the time, rounds, friendly fire, bullet damage, player limits and all sorts of other things.
The game types are Casual, Competitive, Arms Race (Gun Game) and Demolition (gungametrbomb).
Set these in your control panel and hit update settings.

Classic Casual
Game Type 0 Game Mode 0

Classic Competitive
Game Type 0 Game Mode 1

Arms Race
Game Type 1 Game Mode 0

Demolition
Game Type 1 Game Mode 1

This is how you specify how you want the maps to rotate on the server when a map is done. Change the map group in your control panel and hit update settings. To specify a map in the map group you can use the default map in your control panel.

The map group does correspond to the game mode and game type. You cannot run mg_hostage maps when your game mode and game type is set to demolition. Please be a aware of this.

Map Group: mg_dust
Maps: de_dust, de_dust2

Map Group: mg_hostage
Maps: cs_office, cs_italy

Map Group: mg_bomb
Maps: de_dust2, de_train, de_inferno, de_dust, de_aztec, de_nuke

Map Group: mg_armsrace
Maps: ar_shoots, ar_baggage

Map Group: mg_demolition
Maps: de_lake, de_stmarc, de_sugarcane, de_bank, de_safehouse, de_shorttrain

CSGO default rates are at 64 tick:
In your server.cfg:
sv_maxrate 200000
sv_minrate 50000
sv_maxcmdrate 64
sv_mincmdrate 33

On each player’s machine:
rate 200000
cl_cmdrate 64

You will need to add sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1 to your server.cfg. To do this you have to first log into your control panel. Once logged in click the server you own and click the web ftp button in the middle. You are now looking at the files of your server. Navigate to the csgo/cfg folder. Once in the cfg folder you will see server.cfg. Click on it to open it.

Go to the bottom of the file and add sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1 and restart your server.

To do this you have to first log into your control panel. Once logged in click the server you own and click the web ftp button in the middle. You are now looking at the files of your server. Navigate to the csgo/cfg folder. Once in the cfg folder you will see server.cfg. Click on it to open it. This is the server config to change all the basic properties of the server. Look for the line “// server name” and underneath this you type the server name you want for your server between the quotation marks.

//server name
hostname “name of your server here”

Any time you change something within the server.cfg file, you must restart your server for it to take effect!

To do this you have to first log into your control panel. Once logged in click the server you own and then the ‘Web FTP’ button in the middle. You are now viewing the files for your game server. Navigate to the csgo/cfg folder. Once in the cfg folder you will see a file named server.cfg. Click on this file to open it. This is the server config to change all the basic properties of the server. Look for the line // rcon passsword and underneath you type the server name you want between the quotation marks.

//rcon password
rcon_password “your password here”

Any time you change something within the server.cfg file, you must restart your server for it to take effect!

How do I use rcon?
Once the server is restarted with the new config that has your password in it, load up CS:GO and connect to your server’s IP and Port. Once in the game, open console (`) and type rcon_password “your rcon password you setup from above”
You can view the full list here.
The basic commands to know are:
rcon changelevel “map name”
rcon alltalk “1 for on, 0 for off”

Be sure to remember that all commands you send to the server must begin with rcon or else they will be executed locally on your computer.

With us you can install any mods you like through ftp, or request SSH access. We have an autoinstaller for manimod, metamod, sourcemod.

First you need a website that can host this. We provide you with a website. On your control panel you will see Web Hosting Address: in your control panel. This is the address your website is at. Go on your ftp and create two new folders under html. First folder is the name of the game, so if is counter strike global offensive it will be csgo. Then open the folder csgo and create another folder within the csgo folder called maps. If you want several other custom things like sound or models you have to create a new folder in the main game folder like csgo from the example above. The server needs to have these maps, sounds, ect. on it or else it wont work. If you want it even faster download you can zip things with http://www.bzip.org/downloads.html
Ok so now you have to go onto the ftp of your game server. Make sure you upload the files in the correct places on the game server. So it will follow the same folder pathing as your fast download website. For maps go to the main game folder, for counter strike global offensive it will be csgo. Go to the maps folder and upload the .bsp of the map. Once you have everything uploaded you must now go to the server.cfg file. To do this go to the main folder of the game. For this example it will be csgo, then go to the cfg folder. Look for the server.cfg file and open it. Scroll to the bottom of the file and add this:
// Download Settings //
sv_allowupload 0
sv_allowdownload 1
net_maxfilesize 90
sv_downloadurl “(your website)/(game folder)”
So it will look like this sv_downloadurl “http://hgs***.hostedd.com/csgo”
Once you have change this restart your server and it will work.
