What it does

Modern server browsers and monitoring tools use the current query protocol, so the default of 0 is fine. Turn it on only if an old tracker or stats script cannot see your server. Answering extra query types adds a little traffic.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
