How to Install ReHLDS on a CS 1.6 Linux Server

ReHLDS does not create a separate config file on its own. Its cvars can be added straight into server.cfg, but it is cleaner to keep them in a separate file and load it from there.

1. Go to /home/cs16/cs16srv/cstrike/.
2. Create the file rehlds.cfg.
3. Paste the cvars below and set the values to your liking. Every line starting with // is a comment with the default, the cvar above it is what you change.
4. Save it, then open /home/cs16/cs16srv/cstrike/server.cfg and add one line at the end: exec rehlds.cfg.

echo The ReHLDS configuration has been loaded!

server.cfg is optional, but it is loaded automatically every time a map starts, so the ReHLDS config now runs together with it. Restart the server and look for this line in the console:

The ReHLDS configuration has been loaded!

The full cvar list with current defaults is in the ReHLDS wiki; new releases add cvars now and then, so check it when you update.
