A guide to setting up a successful Counter-Strike LAN party.
Assuming a Debian based server.
Install SteamCMD dependencies
apt-get update
apt-get install lib32gcc1 curl
git clone https://github.com/busbud/cs.git
export PATH=$PWD/cs/bin:$PATH
And to have it permanent:
echo "export PATH=$PWD/cs/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
Example to start an arms race.
csgo +game_type 1 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_armsrace +map ar_shoots
Feel free to tweak the command to play other modes.
Download Global Offensive on Steam.
Add -console
in the game launch options in Steam (right click the
game, properties, launch options).
You'll need this for playing LAN.
Launch the game, and in the console, type:
connect HOST_IP
Where HOST_IP
is the IP of the server.
