Counter-Strike 1.6 Tools

Download ↓CS 1.6 Server & Scripting Tools
ReHLDS server components and scripting tools, with the versions current at the time of the last update.
Each component has two links: the official GitHub release and a local mirror. The mirror contains the same archive, not a repack.
Build order on a fresh server is ReHLDS, then ReGameDLL, then Metamod-r, then AMX Mod X, then ReAPI. The rest are optional and can go in any order.
