Admin Login Setup (For CS 1.6 ONLY) Last Updated: August 11th, 2006 **NOTE** If you do not have problems logging into admin under the previous method with adminpass.cfg, then you do not need to follow these instructions. The previous method seemed to work 90% of the time but the remaining 10% has caused enough problems to force us to re-write this section with more clarity and detail. By reading this, you should have recieved your admin information in your email. Then to authenticate yourself, edit "autoexec.cfg" (or create it -look below for help) in your \cstrike\ folder within the STEAM path directory and add: setinfo "_pw-home" "Your-Admin-Password" Save the file and everything should be a go. Please continue to read if you don't have or know how to create autoexec.cfg... What does autoexec.cfg do? This file executes any settings or commands that are set when you open counter-strike. You can set binds, executions of other .cfg files and practically any command that is recognized in the HL1 engine. In this case, we want to tell the autoexec.cfg file to execute the admin login command so that YOU, the client, do not need to enter the password each time and every time you wish to use your admin in the server. How to check if I already have "autoexec.cfg"? 1. Browse to your ..\STEAM\Steamapps\YOURACCOUNT\counter-strike\cstrike\ path directory in steam - (Example of a path directory = C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\YOURACCOUNT\Counter-Strike\cstrike\ ) 2. Look in the folder for a file called "autoexec.cfg" - if you don't see it, then please proceed to the "How to Create autoexec.cfg" tutorial - if you see the file, that means you previously set it How to Create "autoexec.cfg"? If you do not know how to create "autoexec.cfg" then plese follow the instructions below: 1. Open -> Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> NotePad 2. Write or copy and paste the following line: setinfo "_pw-home" "Your-Admin-Password" - make sure you replace "Your-Admin-Password" with the admin password provided in the Admin Information email 3. Click File -> Save As - for file name put, "autoexec.cfg" (without quotations) - Make sure you save type as "All files" - browse to your ..\STEAM\Steamapps\YOURACCOUNT\counter-strike\cstrike\ path directory in steam - (Example of a path directory = C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\YOURACCOUNT\Counter-Strike\cstrike\ ) - Hit the save button and now your set! 4.
