1. You can download a free version of Vmware ESXi 4.1 (running on a dedicated computer) or Vmware Server and install it on a Windows or Linux machine.
2. Deploy the HLDSVM image on your vmware product.
(Use OVA for ESXi and VMDK for vmware Server/workstation)
3. Configure your virtual Network interface to connect to the appropriate network.
4. Once the machine is booted, using your VMWare console, you will see the Welcome GUI. If you have a DHCP server in your network you will see the IP of your virtual machine in this GUI. If you don't have a DHCP server in your network, configure your network settings using this GUI.
5. Connect to the wed administration page of your appliance using the following credentials and address:
User: root
Password: change2new
Now configure
- Your system settings (time zone, hostname..)
- Your networking settings
4. Connect to the virtual machine using SSH with a client such as putty and use the following credentials:
User: hldsvmuser
Password: change2new
5. Change your root and hldsvmuser password using the following command:
# sudo passwd root
# sudo passwd hldsvmuser
6. Edit your rcon password using the following command:
# sudo nano /hlds/hlds_l/cstrike/server.cfg
Exemple: rcon_password "myrconpassword"
7. Edit your server name using the following command:
# sudo nano /hlds/hlds_l/cstrike/server.cfg
As a suggestion you could use the HLDSVM tag in the description.
Exemple: hostname "BE HLDSVM CS 1.5 Dafttitan's Server"
8. Reboot the virutal machine using the following command:
# reboot now
Congratulation, your HLDS CS 1.5 server should be now up and running. If you would like so; NAT it (default port 27015) on the Internet and let see if players connect to it and enjoy it :)
