Pay particular attention to the rules *and* the new anti-cheat tool being used.

There is a test server provided to make sure you are configured correctly.

Well, not much of installing is there. You just start the exe file and select the server. Worked for me instantly btw.

The file launches fine, I can double click the server to connect the ssClient to it but when I try to join the server to play CZ I get the error message from within CZ.

From this I think we need to edit/add the path in some way. I get the same error message as you BB.

I had to edit the server list start command in ssClient to put the following as the startup line (you DO need the quotes):

"C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\email address\counter-strike\hl.exe" -game cstrike

However, it launches CS and doesn't connect properly as the program is too stupid to pass through the server details of the server you just double clicked and doesn't prompt for a password so I you will need a +connect and +password entry too.

Let me guess, we are going to have to edit the entry for every single server we play on UKCSL, if this is the case then count me out, I have better things to do with my life mad.gif

This suks, can't we just have CD or VAC, FFS we play for fun.

Oh I tried it with CZ settings too incase but get the same bad file error message. If anyone gets this working please post . I've just wasted 30 minutes of my life on something that doesn't work properly. If they want us to use this then they need to fix it otherwise I'm not wasting my life over it  :angry:

I suspect it's caused by the fact that CZ owners automatically got newer CS1.6 models which the server is seeing as 'custom'.

I'm installing original models to check this.
Title: UKCSL Season 5
Post by: OldBloke on February 13, 2005, 11:52:25 AM
Looks like it's the case ...

QuoteDescription
============
These are the original CS 1.6 models. If you are using CZ models or
other custom models, then you will need to install these models in
order to play on UKCSL Soundcheck enabled servers.


Installation
=============
In the .zip archive there are a bunch of model folders. Place these
in the following folder:

 ..\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.com\counter-strike\cstrike\models\player

Create the folder if it does not exist. If there are already model
folders there, then it is recommended that you back them up prior to
installing these models.

Your models were updated by CZ.

I installed the original model and connected OK first time. The ssClient console showed that 2 screenshots were taken and uploaded to the UKCSL server OK. I didn't notice any lag.

So to recap ...

Download the ssClient. (http://ukcsl.taa-gaming.com/downloads/anticheats/ssClient_2.41_UKCSL_Package.zip)

If you have CZ installed then Download CS1.6 models (http://ukcsl.taa-gaming.com/downloads/models/cs_1.6_models.zip)

Run the client and double click the UKCSL entry (no configuration changes are necessary).

Connect to the server (any UKCSL server).

OK, that seems to have fixed it but jeezus how many people has it taken to sort that out? They need to post better instructions rather than run the client and connect  <_<

Oh, and the ssClient forums don't work under Firefox :(  Well they do if you are happy with a 50 pixel high view of the forum :(

BTW, you don't need to put path to your HL.exe into the ssClient if you have downloaded the CS models. Just connect through server browser as normal once ssClient is running. <- maybe stating the obvious but I thought I would clarify

Connected.  And remained connected.  Noticed some slight lag spikes though and at one point was running 30-40 choek for a while.  Anything to do with the uploading of screenshots?

We've been in all four previous UKCSL events and, as they're well run and very competitive, it would not make sense to duck out of season five.

Just a little update, as well as the models having to be original I also had to remove custom sprites that we're in my cstrike folder.

SteamApps/YourEmail/counter-strike/cstrike/sprites/

Soon as I did that I connected first time.  Infact all I did was to rename the offending folder(s) by adding another letter to the end of them and Half life will no longer use the models/sprites in those folders.  Also it make things easier when adding them back in again post UKCSL.


Consider me available.  All I need to do now is play 1.6 again.
