xHLDS documentation

What xHLDS is, and every setting, command, launch option and console code it adds.

xHLDS version
3.15.0-hs.9
Updated

xHLDS is Hostsrc's fork of ReHLDS (external site, opens in a new tab), the reverse-engineered Half-Life dedicated server engine that Counter-Strike 1.6 servers run on. It keeps what ReHLDS servers rely on:

  • the plugin API (ReHLDS API 3.15), so ReAPI, ReGameDLL and Metamod modules built for ReHLDS 3.15 work as before;
  • the binary names engine_i486.so and hlds_linux, and the ReHLDS version: line that panels and scripts read;
  • ReHLDS's own cvars, commands and launch options (ReHLDS settings); -pingboost 1 to 3 behave as in ReHLDS, so your start command stays the same.

The server's version command prints xHLDS version: above the ReHLDS version: line. Release builds are for Linux.

In these docs

  • Settings: every setting xHLDS adds, in plain words, with its default and when to change it.
  • Commands and launch options xHLDS adds.
  • Console codes: what each [XH-...] line on the server console means, whether it is a problem, and what to do.

Licences, prices and what xHLDS adds: xHLDS licence and prices.
