Connecting To Our Server

If you frequent our server a lot, or if you are a subscriber to DuckSoup-Gaming, this is a must have. Download the DSG CS:S (Additional Server Files) file in our Downloads section and follow the instructions. It adds and new game menu that makes it easy to connect to our server even if our IP changes. If you have downloaded this menu from our old website before, upgrade to this newer version.

Using The Console

 This guide will need you to have access to your in-game console, if you don't know what that is or how to get to it, do the following in-game: go into options > keyboard > advanced > enable developer console > apply. To access the console in-game, press ` (the key to the left of number 1).


Key Bindings

In this section I show you some common commands and how you can bind them to keys so they're easy to access.

This key bind will allow you to revote on any current vote, including mapvotes. This is handy if you make a mistake or want to change your vote.
Code:
bind v "say !revote"
This key bind will make all gameME (formally HLstatsX) related options and stats easily available.
Code:
bind h "say gameme"



Client Rates

Rates are settings that allow you to communicate efficiently with our server. Most of the time these will be set for you, but if your rates are wrong, the server will inform you. To avoid this, make sure the following are set correctly (do this in console).

Code:
rate 30000
Code:
cl_updaterate 101
Code:
cl_cmdrate 101
