  1. ReHLDS

    Enhanced version of the HLDS engine with bug fixes, security patches, and optimizations for stable servers.

    So first we need to install ReHLDS. In few words, ReHLDS is a result of reverse engineering of original HLDS (Half-Life Dedicated Server) using DWARF debug info embedded into linux version of HLDS (more details). This will allow us to have more stable and optimized server with extednded API for adding mods and plugins. Open release page, download zip archive with compiled binary and unzip it to Resources.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  3. ReGameDLL_CS

    Enhanced server-side GameDLL for Counter-Strike 1.6 (and CS: Condition Zero), offering new features and fixes.

    It is a result of reverse engineering of original HLDS too which will provide us a more stable version of game with extended APIs for mods and plugins (more details). Open release page, download zip archive with compiled binary and unzip it to Resources.

  4. Metamod-R

    Optimized fork of Metamod for improved plugin management and compatibility on modern HLDS-based servers.

    To finish AMXX mod installation we also ne to install Metamod-r - it's improved version of original Metamod made for Half-Life 1. Metamod-r is a plugin/DLL manager that sits between the Half-Life Engine and an HL Game mod, allowing the dynamic loading/unloading of mod-like DLL plugins to add functionality to the HL server or game mod. Open [release page](https://github.com/theAsmodai/metamod-r/releases/tag/1.3.0.128, download zip archive and unzip it to Resources. To install Metamod-r copy Resources/metamod_1.3.0.128/addons/metamod directory to /home/csserver/serverfiles/cstrike/addons on your server machine.

  5. ReAPI

    AMXModX module providing APIs for ReHLDS, ReGameDLL, and Metamod plugins (e.g., ReUnion, ReVoice).

    We're done with ReHLDS, ReGameDLL, AMXX and Metamod-r. Next one is ReAPI (repo). It is a module for AMXX that works with ReHLDS and ReGameDLL to extend existing APIs. Open release page, download zip archive with compiled binary and extract it to Resources. Then copy content of Resources/reapi-bin-5.21.0.248/addons/amxmodx/modules/ directory to /home/csserver/serverfiles/cstrike/addons/amxmodx/modules/ on your server machine.
