I am thinking about making an IRC channel for the wiki. I know that Squeek idle's in #ffwiki on gamesurge and quakenet. What do you guys think about making it an actual channel with help options? DrSatan-12955 23:48, 19 January 2008 (CST)

Customizing Your Server

Once you have your server set up, you will probably want to customize your server. There are several things you can do to customize your server. However we have broken it down to Basic Server Customizations and Advanced Server Customizations. To make things simpler.

Basic Server Customizations

This section will cover some of the more basic changes you may want to implement on your server.

Such as:

Changing Your Server's Name

Creating a Custom Mapcycle

Customizing Your Message of the Day

Uploading Maps

Advanced Server Customizations

This section will cover some of the more basic changes you may want to implement on your server.

Such as:


Adding External Plugins

Creating a Fast Downloads Server

Installing MetaMod:Source

Metamod:Source is an advanced plugin system for Half-Life 2. Plugins for Metamod:Source are written in C++ (not to be confused with "SourceMod"). It is similar to Valve's plugin layer, but much more advanced. It is coupled with SourceHook, an expansive API layer for intercepting and hooking individual virtual functions. Metamod:Source greatly simplifies otherwise hacky tasks and provides safe ways for multiple plugins to hook the same object.

It is recommended that you never download a beta version of anything if you are planning on using your server for public games. Most companies will have a released version and a beta version. Generally you are going to have problems if you download / upload a beta version. So again, you may want to download / upload the latest released version. This will make your install a lot easier, especially if you are not familar with your server files. You will also need to know what operating system (OS) you have for your server. Windows, or Linux 32 or 64 bit for the installer to install the proper files. For more details on how to install MetaMod:Source you might want to read through the MetaMod:Source Web-Site
