Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) Modded Dedicated Server

About

A single modded Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) Modded Dedicated Server that you can change the active mod on the server from chat or server console. Maps are preconfigured per game mode and change when the game mode changes.

Each game mode has a hand full of maps preset so you are ready to go and it's easy to add more.

Every time you want to boot the server, you should run gcp.sh (if on Google Cloud) or install.sh (on Linux) and it will ensure your OS is up to date, CS2 is up to date, and pull down the latest patches from this mod (any updates that I push up).

Obviously, any changes you have made to the files in this mod will be overwritten so I have created a "custom files" folder where you mirror the contents of the game/csgo/ folder, and any files you want to tweak, you put in there in the same spot and they will always overwrite the mods default files. Read more about it here.

The simple quick setup:

  1. Create your firewall rules
  2. Provision your server on Google Cloud
  3. SSH into server
  4. Install mod
  5. Create your custom files for hostname, admins etc
  6. Ensure you have followed the steps for creating an online server or LAN server
  7. Kill server if running ./stop.sh and start again gcp.sh (if on Google Cloud) or install.sh (on Linux)

Your server should be up and running!

To check everything is working correctly run the following commands in the server console:

  • meta list and you should see CounterStrikeSharp in the output
  • css_plugins list and you should see a few plugins in the output

If you see content in both; everything is working.

Important

Using RCON whilst connected to the server does not work. See discussion here. The current work arounds are:

  • I have included CS2Rcon which allows admins to use !rcon in chat.
  • You can disconnect from the server and use rcon_address IP:PORT in console and you can use rcon commands.
  • Use an external RCON program which has implemented the RCON protocol such as this.

Useful things to know:

Custom files

Note

Any reference to a path is always the root of the installation. Which on Linux will typically be /home/steam/cs2/ and on Windows where ever you extracted the zip.

For example on Linux: /custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json full path is /home/steam/cs2/custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json full path is /home/steam/cs2/game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json

Any changes you have made to the files in this mod will be overwritten when the update scripts are ran. I have created a folder /custom_files/ in the root of the project, where you mirror the contents of the csgo/ folder, and any files you want to tweak, you put in there in the same spot and they will always overwrite the mods default files.

So this can be used to set the server hostname to something you want, set the RCON or serverpassword or set the admins of the server.

You can see an example of what I use on my server in the /custom_files_example/ directory, which sets the hostname, server image and admins.

For example; if you want to add yourself as an admin, that file is located /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json. So to make your tweak to it, you would copy that file to /custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json and add yourself as an admin at the bottom. Then when the update scripts run, it will copy your custom file at /custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json and overwrite the default mod file at /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json.

If you want to change the server name, or make any changes to any mod settings use the /cfg/custom_MOD.cfg as it executes at the end and can overwrite any setting. So if you wanted to change the server name for GunGame, you would copy /game/csgo/cfg/custom_dm.cfg to /custom_files/cfg/custom_dm.cfg and and write hostname "shipREKT GunGame +Deathmatch +Turbo" and any other settings you want and this file will overwrite /game/csgo/cfg/custom_dm.cfg each time the gcp.sh/install.sh/win.bat script is ran, and these settings will run at the end when you load the GunGame mod.

Dynamically creates config files in plugin folder

If a plugin creates a config file in the plugins folder where the dll is (i.e.: /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster/cfg/messages.json) it will be deleted when the server starts as the addons folder is deleted to make sure old plugins are removed if I removed them. You need to copy this file and your changes to your /custom_files/ folder so it merges it back in. You would put the example file in /custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster/cfg/messages.json and every time the server starts it will merge it back in and you will have your changes.

To generate this directory, you can run the gcp.sh script (if on Google Cloud), install.sh script on Linux once or on win.bat script on Windows where you extracted the mod zip and this is where you would put your custom modifications.

Creating an online server

If you are hosting an online server, you need to create a Steam Game Login Token, your server will not run online without this. Put this value in the STEAM_ACCOUNT environment variable.

You also need to create an authorization key which will allow your server to download maps from the workshop. Put this value in the API_KEY environment variable.

See all available environment variables.

You must connect to the server from the public IP, not the LAN IP even if you are on the same network. The script logs the public IP Starting server on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:27015

Creating a LAN server

Set the environment variable LAN to 1.

You also need to create an authorization key which will allow your server to download maps from the workshop. Put this value in the API_KEY environment variable.

See all available environment variables.

Environment variables

Available via environment variable only

On Windows set these in win.ini.

Key Default value What is it
API_KEY changeme To download maps from the workshop, your server needs access to the steam web api. To allow this you'll need an authorization key which you can generate here
IP `` Not required. Allows the server IP to be set. Useful if a CS2 server needs to be bound to a specific IP address.
PORT 27015 Server port
MAXPLAYERS 32 Max player limit
CUSTOM_FOLDER custom_files Folder of your own modifications to the mod that mirror the csgo/ structure and overwrite the mode files. More on that here
RCON_PASSWORD changeme RCON password to control server from console also remotely configure
STEAM_ACCOUNT `` To host a server online, you need to create a Steam Game Login Token. Your server will not run online without this
SERVER_PASSWORD `` If you want a password protected server
LAN 0 If the server is a LAN only server
EXEC on_boot.cfg Config file to run when server boots. If switching gamemode, it's recommended to do a delay see the example on_boot.cfg file
DUCK_DOMAIN `` (Linux only) Duck DNS domain if you want to utalise the free service to get a domain for your server instead of IP
DUCK_TOKEN `` (Linux only) Duck DNS access token to update domain when server boots

Playing workshop maps/collections

To download maps from the workshop, your server needs access to the steam web api. To allow this you'll need an authorization key which you can generate here and set API_KEY to the key.

The console command for hosting a workshop map is host_workshop_map fileid where fileid is the number that comes after ?id= in the workshop URL for example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2433686680

The console command for hosting a workshop collection is host_workshop_collection collectionid where collectionid is the number that comes after ?id= in the workshop URL for example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1092904694. This command will then download all maps in the collection and create a mapgroup out of them, then host it.

Setting maps for different game modes

Copy the file /game/csgo/gamemodes_server.txt following the custom files steps (/custom_files/gamemodes_server.txt) and add the maps you want per gamemode. Most gamemodes fall under casual, but I have created unique groups for each mode so adding your own maps is easy by updating this one file.

It isn't required, but you should add the fileid into /game/csgo/subscribed_file_ids.txt following the custom files steps (/custom_files/subscribed_file_ids.txt) so the server keeps it up to date.

How do I add more bots?

By default bots are enabled in deathmatch, gungame, gungame ffa, retakes, scoutsknives and wingman.

The default is set to add 1 bot if only 1 human is in the server, and then if there is 2 or more humans there will be no bots.

You can overwrite the settings for the bots by creating a "custom file" for this file custom_bots.cfg.

If you copy custom_bots.cfg and put it in the custom_files/cfg/ directory (/home/steam/cs2/custom_files/cfg/ on default Linux setup) and you can modify it and change say bot_quota to 10 if you want 10 players at all times. When the server starts (on Linux and Windows) it will merge this file into the game cfg and it will execute every time bots.cfg executes.

You can also just login to RCON rcon_password yourpassword and use rcon bot_add_ct and rcon bot_add_t.

If you want to remove bots you use rcon bot_kick.

Failed to open libtier0.so

Failed to open libtier0.so (/home/steam/cs2/bin/libgcc_s.so.1: version 'GCC_7.0.0' not found (required by /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6))

This is because Valve ships their own copies of those libraries. As modern systems will have newer versions, you can safely delete the listed file from the server install. Do not delete the file in the system path (usually lib or lib32)*.

cd /home/steam/cs2/bin/ and rm libgcc_s.so.1 and restart the server.

How do I connect to RCON remotely?

Download SourceAdminTool (source) for your OS (you can read about it here) and click Servers > Add Servers and put in the <IP>:27015 and when you see the server show in the list, down the bottom left type in your RCON password and click Login and you should be able to execute commands from the bottom text box i.e. exec dm.cfg

You must connect to the server from the public IP if hosting an online server, not the LAN IP even if you are on the same network. The script logs the public IP Starting server on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:27015

Why can't I set the server to start automatically with a mod loaded

Because the way the server is setup with several mods it's not possible. You can't use +exec in the server launcher as that executes to quick before SourceMod is loaded. You can monitor the server once it's started (via RCON) and then load a mod i.e. exec dm.cfg.

Acessing admin menu

Admins are managed by CounterStrikeSharp using the Admin Framework. You define admins and their flags and most plugins now utilise this framework.

To see an example of my admins you can look at this file /custom_files_example/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/admins.json. To set your admins on your own server use this file as a reference and use the custom files system to have your own version.

Ensure your .json files are valid JSON by using this website.

If you have added the admins correctly you should see Loaded admin data with X admins. in the server logs when it starts.

If you modify the server whilst the server is on you can run css_admins_reload to reload the admins and see the admins with css_admins_list.

Use number keys to operate menu instead of typing !1 in chat

If you don't like having to type in chat !number every time you want to use a menu item; you can use this trick to bind the corresponding !number command to the number key. So when you press 1 it will select the 1 option:

Note: This is assuming you are using the standard binds. You can change accordingly for your own setup.

bind "1" "slot1; css_1"
bind "2" "slot2; css_2"
bind "3" "slot3; css_3"
bind "4" "slot4; css_4"
bind "5" "slot5; css_5"
bind "6" "slot6; css_6"
bind "7" "slot7; css_7"
bind "8" "slot8; css_8"
bind "9" "slot9; css_9"
bind "0" "slot10; css_0"

Changing maps

Admin change map menu

Admins can type !maps in chat and it will bring up a menu of all the maps for the current mod. When a map is selected it will change the map straight away.

At the end of the map (if time runs out or win conditions are met) it a vote will show to choose a map from the current mod.

Changing settings

Admins can type !settings in chat and it will bring up a menu of all the settings you can enable or disable. i.e.: Bunnyhopping, fun mode etc.

Changing game modes

Admin change game mode menu

Admins can type !modes in chat and it will bring up a menu of all the game modes. Simply choose one and it will switch to that game mode and change to a default map for that game mode.

The maps in !maps will also update to the new game mode when it has changed.

You can also change directly to a game mode with the Rcon commands via chat i.e. !rcon exec dm will change to deathmatch.

These are all the available chat commands to change the game mode:

Command Game mode
!mode 1v1 1v1 (allows more than 2 players)
!mode aim Aim Maps
!mode awp AWP Maps
!mode ar Arms Race
!mode bhop Bunny hop maps
!mode casual Casual/Fun maps
!mode comp 10mans/scrims/match environment featuring MatchZy matchzy_autostart_mode 1
!mode course Tests players with different traps, kz, surf, bhop
!mode dm Deathmatch
!mode dm-multicfg Deathmatch Multi-CFG
!mode executes Similar to Retakes, but simulates round-play before bomb plants. Hence "Executes"
!mode gg Gun Game
!mode hns Hide n Seek
!mode kz Kreedz Climbing
!mode minigames Mini Games
!mode miniMaps Mini-style Maps (ie. mini_mirage)
!mode prac Practice environment featuring MatchZy matchzy_autostart_mode 2
!mode prefire OpenPrefirePrac (similar to Yprac or Refrag.gg)
!mode retakes Retakes
!mode scoutzknivez ScoutzKnivez
!mode soccer Soccer
!mode surf Surf
!mode wingman Wingman (allows more than 4 players)

Changing between gamemodes multiple times is not recommended, and it is better if you restart the CS2 server in-between.

To view what other commands are available view the plugins at the top of the page.

RCON doesn't work

Using RCON whilst connected to the server does not work. See discussion here. The current work arounds are:

  • I have included CS2Rcon which allows admins to use !rcon in chat.
  • You can disconnect from the server and use rcon_address IP:PORT in console and you can use rcon commands.
  • Use an external RCON program which has implemented the RCON protocol such as this.

If it still doesn't work, make sure you try connect from CS2 outside of a game via console:

You must connect to the server from the public IP if hosting an online server, not the LAN IP even if you are on the same network. The script logs the public IP Starting server on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:27015

rcon_address ip:port
rcon_password "password"
rcon say "hi"

And check the ports cs2 is using on your OS i.e. on Ubuntu sudo lsof -i -P -n | head -n 1; sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep cs2.

Manually updating Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp

If you are on a unix based system, you can run scripts/check-updates.sh which will check the current versions of each plugin installed in this repo vs what the latest is, this makes it easier than going through each one manually.

Go to the Releases page for Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp and download the latest. You need to merge the addons folder from the zips into the /game/csgo/addons of this repo. This is easy to do with unix based systems with rsync:

First open terminal and cd into the folder where you unzipped the zips i.e.: cd ~/Downloads then update the command below with the full path to the repo and run it:

rsync -rhavz --exclude "._*" --exclude ".DS_Store" --partial --progress --stats ./addons/ /Users/kus/dev/personal/counter-strike/cs2-modded-server/game/csgo/addons/

Broadcasts

If you want to disable Broadcasts on your server, unload the plugin by putting the directory /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster/ in your disabled folder. If you wish for it to only be used on certain modes. Add css_plugins unload "CS2 Announcement Broadcaster" to your unload_plugins.cfg and css_plugins load "plugins/disabled/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster.dll" in your comp.cfg (competitive 5vs5 for example).

You can also leave it in the /plugins/disabled folder and in you can put it in your /custom_files/cfg/custom_all.cfg file.

The config file is located at /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster/cfg/messages.json which you would put in /custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/CS2AnnouncementBroadcaster/cfg/messages.json so it is not overwritten.

CS2VoiceFix

If your server experiences voice chat issues when an addon is unloaded (e.g. map changes), you might want to try enabling CS2VoiceChat. This can be done by simply moving /custom_files_example/addons/metamod/CS2VoiceFix.vdf to /custom_files/addons/metamod/CS2VoiceFix.vdf.

Using DiscordUtilities

DiscordUtilities is enabled by default. I have left it enabled as I find it useful, and relatively straight-forward to setup. Here is a setup guide for installing to your discord, along with the optional MySQL DB linking, which I recommend for administrating community-led servers. You can remove modules as you please.

RockTheVote (RTV)

RockTheVote is currently configured to only be used on modes where map extending isn't generally required (Casual, Multi1v1-Arenas, GunGame, Retakes, etc.). Currently RTV doesn't support extending map by x rounds/minutes, so modes like Surf, KZ, BHop, and other modes where time requirements are player(s) dependent, are disabled. Enable on all modes by simply adding css_plugins load "plugins/disabled/RockTheVote/RockTheVote.dll" to /custom_files/cfg/custom_all.cfg.

Enable Whitelist so only a list of people can play

If you want to enable a whitelist on your server load the plugin by putting this css_plugins load "plugins/disabled/WhiteList/WhiteList.dll" in one of your .cfg files.

If you want it to load on every mod on your server, you can put it in your /custom_files/cfg/custom_all.cfg file.

The whitelist file is located at /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/disabled/WhiteList/whitelist.txt which you would put in /custom_files/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/disabled/WhiteList/whitelist.txt so it is not overwritten.
