Welcome to Vertigo Gaming Wiki.
Welcome! In this Wiki we will share how to connect to our servers, how to setup your own servers, and various ways to configure and secure your servers.
- Server Setup and Configuration (Has basic server setup guides)
- Plugins and Setup (Has information on some plugins and basic setup guides)
- Server Security (Has information on security policies and hardening guides)
There are general links (down below) for Source-related topics such as mapping, sourcepawn coding, and other helpful links you might need for dealing with Source servers and content.
Disclaimer
Below are some links/resources that will help you get started in several areas. However, keep in mind that many things Source-related, just like a lot of things in life, requires independent research, hands on experience, and trial and error. We will do our best to provide information, but understand that nothing is a "one size fits all" solution, especially when running servers, coding, or mapping, so you will need to take it upon yourself to read up and understand what it is you are doing. It is all a learning experience and an ever evolving one at that. It is up to YOU, the reader, to take responsibility for your own actions and research at the end of the day.
This wiki assumes the user is using a VM/VDS/Baremetal server! If you are not using any of these (or an equivalent) and/or are running a game server instances from a GSP (Game Service Provider), these guides will not be as helpful or will possibly not work. In order to properly repel attacks from persons of ill-repute and other ne'er-do-wells, you have to have a lot more control than a game server instance provides you.
We are not responsible in any way for any harm/issues/problems that occur as a result of following/not following any of the information provided in this wiki or in the links provided in this wiki. The information comes "as is" and is based on our personal experiences in dealing with running servers, mapping, coding, etc. in Source-related games. It is not the end-all be all guide for everything and it should be taken as such. Accuracy and reliability, while strived for, is not guaranteed. As time goes along and as things change, the information presented has the potential of being outdated or depreciated. Again, it is up to YOU, the reader, to take responsibility for your own actions and research at the end of the day and that includes determining if the information provided here is valid for you or not.
