How to Install Mods on Your Half-Life Server

This guide will show you how to install mods on your Half-Life Deathmatch server. This will allow you to host other games such as The Specialist, Ricochet, etc.

Danger

Half-Life is an old game that has been around for 25+ years. There will be mods that simply will not work. We suggest doing some research to see if the mod you want to use still works or reaching out to a bro for advice. Make sure your mod is for Linux and is a multiplayer mod.

Installing Mods

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your Half-Life Deathmatch server.
  2. 2
    Download and extract your mod to your PC, then upload the root folder to your server. You should only be uploading a single folder without overwriting anything.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Settings and look for the setting Custom Game Folder.
  4. 4
    Change it to the name of the folder you just uploaded. (For example, change it to ts for The Specialist or cstrike for Counter-Strike.)
  5. 5
    Update Start Map to a map that's included in your mod's maps folder.
  6. 6
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.
