Show HOFA: Head, Owner, Founders and Admins in Server


Show HOFA is a plugin for Counter-Strike 1.6 servers that basically shows the details about server admins online, head admin, server owner, co-owners, founders, etc. HOFA is just an abbreviation for Head, Owner, Founder and Admins.

This one is a modified version of the Check Admin plugin that shows the list of admins currently online in the server. The original plugin was made by OneEyed from AlliedMods so all credit goes to him. If you are already using admin_check.amxx plugin then you will need to remove that plugin and add this one because of the newly added features.
Installation:
To install this plugin follow the steps below:
  • Download show_hofa.amxx and put it in yourcstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins directory.

    amx_contactinfo "Facebook.com/Email at owner@starlitegaming.blogspot.com"

    amx_founderinfo "Facebook.com/ServerFounder1 | Facebook.com/ServerFounder2"
    amx_headinfo "Facebook.com/HeadAdminAtBestServer"
  • Restart your server for applying new changes.

Setup Content Hosting Banner in 

Counter-Strike


We have seen many server owners asking about how to show Content Hosting Provided By banners on different online forums and social website. Most of the solutions provided on those forums are outdated and hence not working. So here is a simple, updated and working tutorial for setting this up for your HLDS Server.

Content hosting provided by is a banner which is displayed to the players connecting to a Counter-Strike server. When a new map is added on server, a player is shown this banner with a progress bar while the map is downloading on their computer.

Steps:
These steps are tested on Counter-Strike 1.6 Server but they should also work on other servers too.
  • Banner Design:
    Design a 340 x 56 GIF banner named steam_banner.gif in your favorite logo designing software.

  • Required Files:
    You will need to place your banner file and an HTML file namedsteam_banner.html in the gfx directory like below:
    cstrike/gfx/steam_banner.gif
    cstrike/gfx/steam_banner.html
    Edit the steam_banner.html file and place the following code in it:

    <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="margin: 0px" bgcolor="#000000">
    <html>
    <a href="http://cdn01.counterstrike.com.pk/game/cstrike/gfx/" target="_new"><img border="0" src="steam_banner.gif"></a>
    </html>
    </body>
  • Hosting Space / Fast Downloading:

    Read this tutorial for setting up Fast Downloading: Setup fast downloading for Counter-Strike

    This is where you upload your maps and other resource files so they can be downloaded with full speed. You will also need this place to upload your banner and the HTML file. Setup the directory structure on the web host accordingly. Go to cstrike/gfx directory and upload your banner and HTML files there.
    Suppose your web host address is MyCSServer.000webhost.com then your files should be accessible like this:
    http://MyCSServer.000webhost.com/cstrike/gfx/steam_banner.gif
    http://MyCSServer.000webhost.com/cstrike/gfx/steam_banner.html
  • server.cfg File:
    Append the following lines in your cstrike/server.cfg file:
    sv_downloadurl "http://MyCSServer.000webhost.com/cstrike/"
    sv_allowdownload 1
  • Testing:
    Add a new map to your server that you have never played before and also upload it on your web host. Now restart your server and join your server from game. While the new map is downloaded, you should see your banner in action.
