Understanding SRCDS

[HeadHunter]

Hi all. I am new to the SRCDS and have a few general questions.

1) What is the benifit of using SRCDS over the existing Source Dedicated Server?

2) Where do you put the Mani-Admin-Plugin files to administer your server?

3) I read on the installation guide that you need to "First edit (or create) c:\srcds\cstrike\cfg\server.cfg like you want it to be." What do you insert into this file after you have created it?

Thank You. Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

mani installation:

Code:

Installation (Linux & Windows)
Creating the required directories
It is assumed that the base directory of your css/hl2dm installation contains the following directories: -

$BASE = path to the directory where the following directories are
$BASE/bin/
$BASE/cstrike/
$BASE/hl2mp/

For CS Source: -

Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/addons/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/language/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/map_config/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/restrict/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/mani_logs/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/sound/admin_plugin/
Create a new directory $BASE/cstrike/sound/admin_plugin/actions/
For HL2 Deathmatch: -

Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/addons/
Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/
Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/language/
Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/map_config/
Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/mani_logs/
Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/sound/admin_plugin/
Create a new directory $BASE/hl2mp/sound/admin_plugin/actions/
Assuming you are using ftp. A good free ftp client can be found at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

NOTE : If you are installing for HL2 Deathmatch, your installation directory is hl2mp not cstrike

Note if you already have an autoexec.cfg file in $BASE/cstrike/cfg/ you must manually copy and paste the contents of the autoexec.cfg from the zip file into your existing one on the server.

From the zip file copy the following default file to $BASE/cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/restrict/
