How to set up a hltv server

1. Login to the control panel with the information provided.

2. Click the HLTV module to access the controls for your HLTV server (typically the format is as follows: "$USERNAME - HLTV - $LOCATION Control Panel" --or as an example: "hltvclient - HLTV - Dallas_TX Control Panel".

3. Click the "HLTV: Edit HLTV Server Configuration" button, this will open up the hltv.cfg file so you may edit the connection information and other options.

4. Typically, all you will need to edit in this config is as follows:

a. connect 0.0.0.0:27015 (if your game server is 1.2.3.4:27015, change it to show as such)

b. serverpassword "changeme" (if your game server is passworded, replace "changeme" with the gameservers connection password in quotes "").

c. adminpassword "changeme" (if you wish to record demos or administrate your HLTV from a remote console program like HLSW, input a value here to serve as the rcon)

d. spectatorpassword "changeme" (if you wish to lock up your hltv relay to prevent unauthorized viewing of practices, scrims and matches, please input the password you will require spectators to input).

That's it for configuration. Now click the big green arrow to go back to the index of options and click START. The hltv server should show online at the IP and Port provided in the email. If it does not, there is a problem with the configuration (either on the game server or on the hltv).
