After i installed 4.0.0 my server keeps restaring/crashing

  • There is a new beta out: C-D Beta forum
  • If its a linux server, try: "cdusethread 0" in server.cfg

What port does the C-D server use?

It does not use any ports; it uses the HL message system. If HL works, you have all the needed ports forwarded/open.

Can I log C-D detections?

Detections made by C-D will remain a secret between C-D and the user. Admin won't know about them.

After I install C-D my server lags

C-D does very little server side, it only sends the challenge message to the client. (22 bytes every few minutes)

What is metamod, and where can I get it?

metamod.org. Simply put Metamod allows multiple server side mods to communicate with the HLDS server.

Do I need to install metamod?

No check the readme.

Should I run HLGuard and C-D together ?

HLGuard has features that C-D does not have, here is a simple run down:
HLG WallHack block/Aimbot detection:

  • HLG has server side WallHack block/Aimbot detectio. C-D has this feature client side, but if someone managed to get by C-D
  • HLG they would be able to Wallhack. With HLGuard's server side Wallhack block, they would be blocked. Also, if you're running C-D in optional mode, HLGuard
  • HLG Wallhack block is recommended. (Note that we have still any cheats that would break C-D's Wallhack block.)


Alias & Cvar checks:

  • C-D does not detect any scripts. Only HLG does this.

I dont have a plugins.ini

You can make it with any text editor, like notepad or emacs.

Can I force only players with a high kill rate to use C-D?

Yes, this feature is called "mediator". We have a thread containing the known mediators Here

Can I make C-D optional on the server?

Add this to server.cfg: cdrequired 0

Can I disable C-D on the server for a short time?

rcon cdrequired -1

Metamod is not working, now what ?

Try to re-download it. And read metamod.org/metamod , that should help.

Why can't I run C-D and VAC ?

Basicly VAC and CD both detects client hooks, and VAC would detect the C-D client.

I installed both the client and the server. I can't host a listenserver.

If you host games you only need the C-D client. C-D server is only for dedicated servers.
