CONFIGURATION
1) Edit ~/hlds/gamename/server.cfg (replace gamename with whatever you used before)
***This is where your server variables are stored. Reference the http://server.counter-strike.net config editor for easy coverage of the common ones.
2) Edit (nano or pico) ~/hlds/gamename/motd.txt (replace gamename with whatever you used before)
***This file contains the message people see when they first connect. HTML is acceptable and used by default.
3) Edit (nano or pico) ~/hlds/gamename/mapcycle.txt (replace gamename, as usual)
***This is a file containing the maps your server will play, one on each line.
