Use 1 for a LAN party without internet. Internet servers must keep it at 0 or players from outside cannot connect and the server will not be listed.
The game's own description: Server is a lan server ( no heartbeat, no authentication, no non-class C addresses )
Good to know
- Usually set at startup or in
server.cfg, followed by a map change.
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/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
