Installing Game Server Engine

Once you install the Game Server module on your Plesk control panel, you will need to take a few steps to install the game server program files and other required components:

  1. Access the Game Server by clicking the Modules shortcut in the navigation pane and, in the Modules group, click the Counter-Strike game server icon.
  2. The installation program starts searching for an installed game server engine. If it does not detect it, the installer will offer you the two options:
  3. Install the Steam software. Steam is an online content delivery system designed by Valve Corporation. To be able to download, install and update games from the Valve website through the Internet, you need to install the Steam client.

Important: By downloading and installing the Steam client, you assume responsibility for the consequences of using this software. Use it at your own risk!

For automatic installation, in this step you need to specify which Steam account should be used for retrieving and updating game installation files

All game modifications (also commonly referred to as mods) that are available for downloading are given in a list. Each mod title is accompanied with the following icon indicating whether the mod is already installed: - the game mod is already installed and - game mod is not installed. Select the checkboxes corresponding to the game mods you wish to install and click OK.

At this step, the selected game components are installed. When finished, click OK to quit the wizard.

In case of failure you can view the log file for details. To do this, click the link next to the operation result icon.

Now the game server engine is installed and you can proceed to creating game servers.
