**Currently, we do not host any Counter-Strike beta server**. This post here is only for preservation purposes.

We are also using Half-Life version 1.1.1.0 as it is the latest version using WON before VALVe changes their interface for STEAM's. Some mods may have broken compatibility with this version, but overall they should all work just fine. Also, you can read their `liblist.gam` files to have an idea of what version of Half-Life 1 they were targeting.

# Create a Server
43
44
## Using Docker
45
You can create a server using Docker by using my [GitHub project](https://github.com/Ch0wW/docker-hlds-won2). More informations on how to run it are inside the project.
46
47
## Using Windows
48
If you desire hosting a server on Windows, you can create a batch file inside the HL1 folder (see example below)
49
50
Batch example: Hosting a CS Version 1.0 server on cs_assault, using port 27015 (the default one) with a maximum of 16 players:
51
```sh
52
set MAXPLAYERS=16
53
set PORT=27015
54
set GAME=cstrk10r
55
set MAP=cs_assault
56
57
start hlds.exe -game %GAME% +maxplayers %MAXPLAYERS% +map %MAP%
58
```

#### The models are frozen upon a death in CS Beta 6.x !

This is a visual glitch that seem to happen during animations. Unfortunately no solution has been found yet.
