Valve Source 2 Tactical FPS · Tactical Shooter / Competitive FPS
The three-layer MetaMod:Source v2 → CounterStrikeSharp → plugin structure, focusing on the most dangerous trap: after a Valve update the hook vanishes silently, the server starts normally and the console reports nothing. Also covers SourceMod having no production CS2 port
Sliders with a live SVG preview, console commands and autoexec output. States plainly that CS2 share codes are generated client-side and cannot be derived by third-party tools — the five invented pro codes from the old version are gone
eDPI, cm/360 and cm/180 with band verdicts, cross-game equivalence (holding cm/360 preserves muscle memory), DPI migration and mousepad sizing. The disputed 830 vs 800 pro median is shown side by side rather than silently picking one
Generates a prac.cfg for smoke lineups, nade practice and warm-up, covering CS2-only convars such as sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_pipreview (picture-in-picture trajectory preview), sv_grenade_trajectory_prac_trailtime, sv_rethrow_last_grenade, sv_infinite_ammo and mp_roundtime, plus noclip / save / restore practice binds
Every map grouped by Active Duty / Reserve / hostage / arms race / community, with English-to-Chinese callout tables plus map-group technical facts such as mapcycle.txt being dead and print_mapgroup_sv being the only reliable check
Medal progress maths (a pip every 25 wins, capped at 5), the four-step unlock chain, Season 5 rules and the convention that medal colour reflects your season-high rank rather than your final one
Grenade roles and costs, defuse timing windows (10s without a kit, 5s with, 40s bomb, tunable safety margin) and the C4 change timeline. No exact damage figures — since 2026-07-09 damage comes from map-baked precomputed values and every old radius table is void
Tickable one-key binds for grenades, weapons and radar zoom that generate an autoexec.cfg snippet, and a correction of the jump-throw myth that still fills CS:GO-era guides
Reclassifies every option by whether it yields real information instead of copying an all-low list, and explains counterintuitive correct pairings such as low shadow quality with all dynamic shadows
Commands for record, playdemo, demoui, tv_enable and tv_delay, with the crucial boundary around the 2026-09-10 chat encryption: it applies only to demos recorded after the patch and does not scrub existing archives
Plugin stacks, positioning and map-pool sizing for Retakes, Deathmatch, Surf, KZ, 1v1 and Zombie Escape, plus the fact that a stock dedicated server is stock Counter-Strike — every community mode is plugin-implemented
The real sv_minrate family behind all four network presets (conservative, standard, high bandwidth, LAN) made explicit, plus map group construction and a preflight checklist. Every example credential uses a CHANGE_ME_ placeholder
Requirements and the public-visibility mechanism, with emphasis on the two invalidation paths people miss (a Steam password reset kills every token you own at once; long idling expires them) and the ban consequences, plus a locally-kept token registry
The three-layer MetaMod:Source v2 → CounterStrikeSharp → plugin structure, focusing on the most dangerous trap: after a Valve update the hook vanishes silently, the server starts normally and the console reports nothing. Also covers SourceMod having no production CS2 port
Generates the download script, systemd unit and start script, stressing the three most common mistakes: SteamCMD appid is 730 not 740, the executable now lives at game/bin/linux64/cs2, and a Valve update needs a process restart
CPU and RAM guidance by player count and plugin load, delivering the most counterintuitive conclusion — the bottleneck is single-core clock speed and more RAM does not fix stutter. Also covers sub-tick (there is no 128 tick in CS2) plus DDoS and bandwidth planning
MatchZy chat commands, a pre-match checklist and a credential-safe config skeleton, stressing that a match server needs VDS dedicated threads because oversold shared vCPUs show up directly as inconsistent hit registration
