Errors Tutoriels

Why a custom map throws 'couldn't open' WAD errors, how a .bsp references texture WADs, putting the WADs where clients can download them, and embedding textures so they never miss.

Why non-Steam players are still bounced after installing dproto, the HLDS vs ReHLDS split with Reunion, the dproto.cfg protocol and client settings, and confirming the module actually loaded.

The execution timeline that makes amxx.cfg win over server.cfg, why your carefully set cvars keep reverting, and where to put a value so it is the last word.

Your server shows up on LAN but not in the internet list. Nine times out of ten it is sv_lan 1, a blocked UDP port, or the server never heartbeating the master. Full checklist.

Why the engine aborts with PF_precache_model: Model overflow, how the fixed precache table works, and how to find and cut the plugin or map that blew the limit.

Non-Steam clients get rejected at connect because your server has no non-Steam auth provider. Install and configure Reunion on ReHLDS or dproto on HLDS the right way.

Where AMX Mod X writes its logs, how to read a run-time error line, and what the common messages -- run time error 4, native error, invalid plugin, failed to load -- actually tell you.

Why players show as STEAM_ID_PENDING and never validate, how Steam auth works on a CS 1.6 server, and the sv_lan, connectivity and non-Steam fixes that let them in.

Why a plugin using ReAPI reports a missing native at load, how the reapi module, ReHLDS and ReGameDLL must line up, the modules.ini and version traps, and how to confirm the hook chain is available.

Metamod loads but AMX Mod X is absent from meta list. How the addons/metamod/plugins.ini line works, the Linux vs Windows and i386 filename traps, and reading the load status.

Why a containerized HLDS/ReHLDS server starts and stops within a second, the 32-bit library requirement, missing +map and console flags, tty/foreground issues, and reading the real crash from logs.

Why the amxmodmenu command opens an empty menu or nothing at all: missing admin flags, the menu front-end plugins not loaded, and how the submenu access model gates every entry.
