Welcome to the WALAN Counterstrike Competition This page contains a summary
of the critical information which must be read by all players. If you do not have a team and would like
to participate in the competition let the WALCS (WALAN Counter-Strike) administrators know and they will
let you know if a team becomes available. To participate you will need CS1.5, and Half-Life 1.1.1.0
Basic Competition Procedure:
All players must read, understand, and agree to the competition rules.
Any querys about the rules are to be directed to the competition administrators.
Download and install the WALCS launcher utility using this link - launcher.zip
This is a self-extracting zip file, run it and before clicking unzip make sure to set the
destination path to your half-life directory (ie the launcher must be in the same folder as
hl.exe/cstrike.exe). You may wish to make a shortcut to the launcher and place it on your desktop.
To use the launcher in the competition: Run it, type in your teams initials then click the get data
button, the launcher will then receive all necessary details. A few seconds after you clicked login,
click the launch button to start Half-Life. When Half-Life starts it will automatically connect to
the server that your team is scheduled to play on.
Nominate a team captain for the day if you don't already have one.
Make sure your captain doesn't forget your teams password!
Wait patiently for the competition to start.
The team captain must use the say_team command to say '!captain', or alternatively
'say_team !captain' in the console to become captain for the team.
Once your team is in the game and ready to play the captain must use the command '!war' in the same
way as above. If this is not done after 15 minutes the server will automatically map change, and the war has begun!
If you wait too long for team members etc you WILL miss out on playing the entire round
as the servers will kick everyone as soon as the allocated time has expired!
It is recommended that the captains take screenshots incase there is a score dispute. By not
bothering to take the screenshots it shows that your team isn't that interested in playing in
the competition, so if a dispute arrises the admins won't have much patience for your team!
Once a round has been finished (completed or not!) the results must be submitted using the
results submission form.
All of the results along with their screenshots can be viewed using the
view results cgi script.
Finally, if something goes wrong during the competition please tell the administrators as they
do not have a sixth sense! For example if a server freezes don't expect it to unfreeze without
administrators intervention. If the server remains frozen because no one told the administrators
then the game will NOT be replayed, the scores that are available will be taken.
The Administrators are ... Privatteer, Hellspawn, Robert
