-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Quick Buys =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


With steam and cs1.6, a new concept is introduced... the ability to buy weapons using console names. This is great for anyone who wants to buy all their equipt in a keystroke.

The weapons, and their bind names:

Weapon name - Console command
---------------------------------
Primary Ammo - "primammo"
Secondary Ammo - "secammo"

USP Pistol - "usp"
Desert Eagle- "deagle"
Glock - "glock"

IMI Galil - "galil"
FAMAS - "famas"
M4A1 - "m4a1"
AK47 - "ak47"

HE Gernade - "hegren"
Flash nade - "flash"
Smoke nade - "smoke"

Helmet/body armor - "vesthelm"
Body armor - "vest"

To help you understand how to use these, I'll give you an example of buying an M4A1, Primary ammo, body armor + helmet and a HE nade. Paste this line into your console, replace KEY with the keyboard key you want to use to buy stuff.

bind "KEY" "m4a1; primammo; vesthelm; hegren"

You can just add or remove things you dont want. Make sure to have a ; (semicolon) after the weapon names.

-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tips on how to Install maps and play them from the Menu of CS -=-=-=-=-=-=-



** Now since the map is downloaded (from the links given above or use this link <A href="*<a%20href=/" target=_blank>www.cstrike-planet.com/maps/cstrike

** Extract the map (using any ZIP utility) in ur cstrike folder>maps and the map wich u hv extracted will hv a .bsp extension.

** Locate a text file named as mapcycle.txt in the "cstrike" folder) and write the name of the map u hv jus extracted eg: de_aztec (without the .bsp extension) and only the map name. Save and close the text file and wen u start the CS game, u will see ur newly map in the map options.


NOTE:

** If the map contains folders other than the ".bsp" extension file like the gfx, sound, models, sprites etc. then copy the files or subfolders (folders contained within folders eg: in models folder, if another subfolder is present, then copy that subfolder in "cstrike>models" )
llly, for sound if there is another subfolder (of that map) then it is NOT REQUIRED that individual files must be copied to "cstrike>sound" folder of CS 1.6, instead copying the entire subfolder (from sounds folder to "E:\Lords\Counter Strike 1.6>cstrike>sounds") will do.

** For ".bsp" files, copy them to "cstrike>maps" folder.

** For ".txt" files, copy them to "cstrike>maps" folder.

** For ".tga" files, copy them to "cstrike>gfx>env" folder.

** For ".wav" files, copy them to "cstrike>sound>ambience

** For Sound subfolders, copy them to "cstrike>sound" folder.

** For ".spr" files, copy them to "cstrike>sprites" folder.

** For subfolders present in the "sprites" folder, copy the subfolder to "cstrike>sprites" folder.

** For ".mdl" files, copy them to "cstrike>models" folder.

** For ".wad" files, copy the files to "cstrike" folder ONLY.

** For RES files, copy them to cstrike>RESOURCE folder.

** For ".mdl" subfolders (model files), copy them to "cstrike>models" folder.

** For ".nav" files, copy them to "cstrike>maps" folder

** For files in the "overviews" folder (which contains map image and txt file), copy the files to "cstrike>overviews" folder.

Thanx a lot for ur comments guys...
BTW way wat maps are u guys playing in CS ?? Im currently enjoying the de-aztec as well as the newly downloaded map de_dust2 as well as aim_pistols in this, u hv to kill ur opponents and no Bomb plantings or diffusing as well as no hostages rescue in this mission. The Terrorists get a set of 6 pistols (there is even an option of a double hand pistol cowboy style) and they hv to kill the CTs by diving under water and capturing their area.The good point in this map is tat the Terrorosts cannot buy any items and they jus hv to switch between the 6 pistols they hv with them.

cheers n e-peace.....

Clik on the CS icon available in the folder.Also make sure that ur version is a NON LAN version (i.e: for PC and not for net).JUs locate the CS icon (launcher) and start the game and post ur results bro

YEs bro, ur rite the download is only for PAID subscribers Now since u hv downloaded the CS MAP,extract the map (using any ZIP utility) in ur cstrike folder>maps and the map wich u hv extracted wll hv a.bsp extension.

Now after doin this,locate a text file named as mapcycle.txt write the name of the map u hv jus extracted eg: de_aztec (without the .bsp extension)and only the map name. Save the text file and wen u start the CS game, u will see ur newly map in the map options.

BTW wat maps hv u d/loaded and is it for CS 1.6 or CSS?? I hv CS 1.6 and hv downloaded almost 15 maps and now my total tally of playable maps in the game is 45-maps.

cheers n e-peace....

There is only one version. You can play it online or offline with or without bots (computer controlled players), CS and CS:S are not compatible (one is on a HL engine and the other on a SOURCE engine). There is another version which has a single player game included this is counter strike:condition zero.

Use the create game option in the CS menu, then add bots to your game and play the game.

NOTE: Two different versions of CS are available. CS 1.6 and CS:S or CS:source. the First runs on the original HL engine the 2nd on the source engine hence the 2 different names.( a general info for ppl who dnt knw)

No, it requires Steam to be connected, i.e. in the Main Menu, it only shows to connect with your friends. This CS:Source, which I had installed with Half Life 2 a couple of days ago. Please help.
