How to Install Mods on Your Half-Life Server

This guide will show you how to install mods on your Half-Life Deathmatch server. This will allow you to host other games such as The Specialist, Ricochet, etc.

Installing Mods

  1. Log in to Bropanel and select your Half-Life Deathmatch server.
  2. Download and extract your mod to your PC, then upload the root folder to your server. You should only be uploading a single folder without overwriting anything.
  3. In the sidebar, go to Settings and look for the setting Custom Game Folder.
  4. Change it to the name of the folder you just uploaded. (For example, change it to ts for The Specialist or cstrike for Counter-Strike.)
  5. Update Start Map to a map that's included in your mod's maps folder.
  6. Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.
