In order to turn the server on, create a shortcut of hlds.exe file on your desktop and double click it. Edit the Server Name and chose your map, port and RCON Password and click Start Server. The hlds.exe file is located inside your main directory (HLDS).The installer automatically installed Amx Mod X 1.8.1 on your server. Amx Mod X helps you to administrate your server ( change maps, set up cvars, kick players) and shows the game statistics .To see if it runs properly go to the server console and type meta list . If the message recived is:AMX Mod X - RUN..then everything it`s OK.Enjoy it. Have Fun ! RegardsSeRGiOP.S.
