Hey, welcome to Dysfunction Junction. > 1) which anti-cheat software is the best? Which anti-cheat should I > use? Do they require a client anti-cheat to be installed like the old > days? There are none. VAC (Valve anti-cheat) is barely functional at this point, too. Additionally there's the joyous steam hacks, offering countless IDs for players. Best bet now is to have good admins omnipresent, and issue IP bans rather than ID bans. > 2) which stats are good to go? I believe Psychostats is functional with CSS these days, but I haven't had a chance to check it out personally. http://www.psychostats.com/ > 3) is server.counter-strike.com info updated to reflect the new source > engine or is everything compatible? I've never relied on any one particular web site for information about the server or the console. So many lead to dead links, have horribly outdated information, and/or read like they were written by an illiterate speed freak. This list -- despite the frequent off-topic posts and inability to follow some good ol' standard posting etiquette -- is a decent source of information, so go ahead and post specific questions if you have 'em. > I got HLSW working tho, and it seems fine. There's a fun bug in CSS that will prevent rcon from working after a period of time. I haven't experienced it yet, but I've seen mention of it here several times, so maybe one of those suffering from it will help you. But generally, HLSW is a good tool to have. > I am liking source/counter-strike a lot, even tho it seems like it is > all or mostly just a few of the old maps.

There are a few custom maps floating around now, but with no in-game downloads available (players will have to manually install maps for the time being), it's difficult to get people to play any customs. -- ironchef http://www.dexworld.org/ _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
