How to run CS 1.6 at a native 16:9 resolution, why the game and your monitor stretch the image, and where the fix really lives — the GPU scaling settings.

Pull a player's SteamID live with status and amx_who, extract it from server logs, understand the non-Steam cases, and use it to ban with persistence.

Full syntax and behaviour of the AMX Mod X ban commands — amx_ban, amx_banip, amx_addban and amx_unban — including offline bans, persistence, and the flag you need.

Turn on plugin debug mode for line numbers in run-time errors, use server_print and log_amx to trace state, and read the AMXX logs to find the real fault.

amxxpc turns Pawn source into the .amxx bytecode the server loads. How to compile locally on Linux and Windows, read the errors, target the right AMXX version, and install the result.

A disciplined bisection method for finding the AMXX or Metamod plugin that crashes your CS 1.6 server - reading the logs, halving plugins.ini, and confirming the culprit both ways.

Players dropping on every map change usually means slow in-game resource downloads, a precache overflow, or timeout settings too tight. Set up fastdl and cut the resource load.

A CS 1.6 server that segfaults the moment it starts on Linux: the usual causes — mismatched 64/32-bit binaries, a bad engine or game DLL, Metamod ordering — and how to isolate it.

Write a proper systemd unit for HLDS so it starts on boot, restarts on crash, runs as an unprivileged user, and streams its console to journalctl.

Enable the SQLite module in AMX Mod X, where the .sq3 file lives, when SQLite beats MySQL, and how to avoid the locking problems.

Enable the MySQL/SQLx module in AMX Mod X, configure sql.cfg, use threaded queries, and fix the connection errors that actually happen.

Why zombie mods are the heaviest CS 1.6 workload, how to tame precache from custom models and sounds, keep the edict count under control, and tune rates so knockback and infection feel crisp.
