## Hosting a server
How to set up a dedicated [Natural Selection] server with [HLDS]:
1. Follow these steps to get steamCMD installed and HLDS updated in it: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
2. You'll want to run `app_update 90 validate` multiple times in steamCMD to install HLDS and fully update it, as it won't completely do it the first time.
3. Copy the `ns` directory into the `hlds` directory after installing HLDS from steamcmd
4. For Linux servers:
- Remove or rename the `libstdc++so.6` in the `hlds` directory so the linux distro's can be used instead. The one steam provides is outdated. You may need to rename the `libgcc.so.1` file in the same directory as well.
- 32 bit C libraries might need to be installed. Try `apt-get install libc6-i386` if on debian or ubuntu. The libm.so.6 from it may need to be placed in your HLDS folder if you cannot install that package.
5. Run the game :
```sh
./hlds_run -game ns +map ns_eclipse + sv_secure 1 + port 27015 +hostname "Natural Selection" +maxplayers 32
```
If you are behind a NAT(Router) make sure to open at least those ports:
- 27015 UDP (game transmission, pings)
- 26900 UDP (VAC service) -- automatically increments if used in case of additional server processes
For more information see the [HLDS valve wiki](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Half-Life_Dedicated_Server).
In order to check if your server is connected to the steam servers copy the following url in your browser and replace `<your IP address>` with your external ip:
`http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=<your IP address>&format=json`
There is an updated version of metamod called [metamod-p](https://github.com/APGRoboCop/metamod-p/).
There are a few different bots for Natural Selection, with Evobot being the newest and most comprehensive:
* [Evobot]
* [RCbot](http://rcbot.bots-united.com/)
* [Whichbot](https://whichbot.sourceforge.net/)
## Compiling
For Windows, compilation should be working if you have VS2019 installed.
