Hey I'm gonna have a CS:S lanparty soon, is there anything special I need, and HOW exactly do I MAKE a server for this party?

Also, how do I implement the "GunGame" and which versions? Thanks!

ok, well i hope you know a little about basic network setup, and setting up computers.

i would have this for each pc:
A computer
A monitor
Necessary cables
Mouse
Keyboard (preferably not wireless, wireless causes problems)
Mouse pad
ethernet cable for each person.
power strip (6 cables to an outlet, to avoid a blown fuse)
you will most likely need a ethernet switch, or router or something to link all the computers together.

For the server, you can either have a dedicated server, or host it on someones computer (dual core atleast).

and for gungame this is how you do it.

Best if you get a few gigabit routers will cut down on lag when you got alot of players and bots in games.

In theory you will only benefit from a gigabit switch if all the client PCs are using gigabit NICs. Your average desktop PC will only have a 100 megabit network card.

Also, make sure you buy a switch, not a hub. Hubs are slow and evil. Switches are much faster.

Yes thats true but nearly all motherboards now days ship with gigabit over 100mbit only ones probly have 100mbit are dells and hps even most of them are switched to gigabit.

I think the most important questions at current are.

1. What machine( Specs please ) will be hosting CSS GunGame ?

2 What OS will you be using ?

meh, a CS:S server you can run on a pretty crappy box and still get decent performance out of it.

its been awhile since i've made a dedicated server, but if you google it, the internet has a wealth of information on the subject.

CSS is not demanding..you are right. However if a host system has to cater to many clients then you need to take this into account.

In anycase for us to hel p you better it would be a good idea to tell us your system specs anyway.
