Configs / Use own configs

Here we would like to briefly explain how you can install configurations yourself via FTP or, in the near future, via the webinterface.

Webinterface

We will soon be offering options similar to CSGO that will allow you to install a selection of configs at your convenience. Please understand that we still need a few days for this, but you are also welcome to send us your desired configurations to support@ckras.com so that we can check whether we can add them to the selection.

Thank you for your help at this point.

FTP Installation

Every customer has full FTP access to his server, please click on "edit" in the webinterface (see picture) and on the following page you will find the field "FTP accounts" in the upper tab, just click here and take the FTP data (We recommend to use a FTP Program like Filezilla). Please always use the default port 21 for the FTP, then simply enter your configurations in the folder:

/cs2/game/csgo/cfg

Afterwards you can call up your configs with the command exec "NAME.cfg" - Example: exec practice.cfg

CKRAS BOT (!exec name or !config name)

COACH

Coach is now available for CS2, see how you can Control the Coach Mode with our CKRAS BOT

MatchZy

Easy Administration for your Gameserver with MatchZy

MatchZy is a plugin for CS2 (Counterstrike 2) to run and manage Practice/Pugs/Scrims/Matches/Coach with easy configuration.

We changed the Settings und Menus to work perfekt with your CKRAS BOT and you can install the Plugin with 1-Click in the Webpanel.

Server-Port

All CS2 servers are operated with different ports at CKRAS, you can find your port in the webinterface.

Tickrate

We start the servers with -128 tickrate, but after Valve limited these values with CS2, we rely more on higher CPU and RAM allocations, so that our customers get an advantage over the Official Gameserver.

Workshop

Workshop is available since the Update from the 03. November, in this Guide you will learn how to use Workshop on your CS2 Server.
