Introduction

Using "Steam Networking" is a new style of connecting people. Instead of looking for people in empty servers, you gather your friend list, ask them if they want to play, and then connect them directly.

Config

server.cfg

hostname "mspaint's server" sv_downloadurl "http://cs.slimi.lt/cstrike/" sv_allowdownload 1 mp_timelimit 0 mp_roundtime 1.75 sv_rollangle 0

You can put host settings here, then execute it with a bind.

Set mp_timelimit 0 because when the time comes, it will change to de_airstrip by mapcycle

motd.txt

<body> hello! i am mspaint <br> <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/id/yourSteamPage"> My steam page</a> </body>

set your motd to introduce urself

userconfig.cfg

bind f8 "exec server.cfg; exec userconfig.cfg" bind home status

Pressing F8 will exec your settings.
When u see players in game, press Home and then open console, look up their steamID to add them.
