Hey Dobermuffin,
How to install DeathMatch server on Mac OS X for Counter Strike: Source. Ask Question Asked 9 years., 7 months ago. Viewed 4k times 0. I have a Steam account. I have installed Counter-Strike: Source on my Mac OS X (using that account). I am bored with the local servers. Counter Strike Source map rotation based on time of day.
I know it is frustrating to lose the use of your MacBook Pro. I am so glad that you have been making backups of your data using the Macintosh Time Machine application. It will not run on a Windows computer, but as you have Macs available through your family, the best way to do this will be to recover your files to a Mac and then move those files to your new Windows machine.
The Migration Assistant application (located in a Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder) will allow your transfer information from your data from the Time Machine backup to the hard drive of another Mac. See this article -
In particular the section titled Migrate from a Time Machine backup or external drive.
Note step 8. You do not have to transfer everything including applications, computer or network settings. You can just select your home folder, or indeed just portions of your home folder.
Once you have those files on the other Mac you can use one of several methods to move them to your Windows computer. For small amounts of data you can just use a flash drive, you can use a Windows formatted external hard drive, or for a large amount of data you can network the Windows computer with the Mac and use File Sharing to move the files over the network. See this article for how to set up File Sharing on a Mac to work with a Windows computer -
And this one to connect to the Mac from the Windows computer -
I hope we see you back in the Macintosh world soon!
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Half-Life 2: Deathmatch is a multiplayerfirst-person shooter video game developed by Valve. Released on Steam on November 30, 2004, it uses many of the assets from Half-Life 2 and its Source engine. It features new levels, optimized for multiplayer arena play, and a few new weapons. Also included are portions of the game's source code, which were the basis for many early Source-based multiplayer modifications. The game is the successor to the popular multiplayer component of the original Half-Life, but is offered as a separate product from Half-Life 2. Deathmatch, like Half-Life's multiplayer, does not develop any part of the plot or story of the Half-Life series.
Deathmatch includes some notable features such as instant respawn; weapons that have specific spawn points; and special abilities (sprint, flashlight, etc.). The aim of the deathmatch is simple: the player must kill other players to score points. If the player accidentally self-kills, they lose points. If a player is killed, they will respawn with 100 health points and the default spawn weapons, but will lose all the weapons and ammunition acquired before being killed.
The game is server based and each server contains different rules for each round therefore there is no default time limit or kill limit for each round.
In the team deathmatch mode, players are organized in two teams, Resistance and Combine, both of them with different characters that appear exactly as they do in Half-Life 2. In the gaming aspect, team deathmatch has almost the same rules as deathmatch mode, except for:
Upon the release and subsequent critical reception of Half-Life 2, reviewers expressed disappointment with the game's lack of multiplayer.[1] Two weeks after the initial release of Half-Life 2, Valve revealed and released Half-Life 2: Deathmatch on Steam.[2][3]Deathmatch was released simultaneously with the Source SDK as a means of promoting game modifications built upon the platform.[4][5]
Post-release, the game was supported with new maps from Valve as well as updates to the game and its engine.[6][7][8] Valve's The Orange Box does not include Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, however, the game was upgraded to use the Orange Box version of the Source engine in September 2010. Valve announced a free promotional offer on January 10, 2008, which allowed NVIDIA graphics card users to download and play Half-Life 2: Deathmatch along with Portal: First Slice, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, and Peggle Extreme.[9]
In September 2010, the game was released via Steam for OS X.[10] A Linux version came more than two years later, in March 2013.[11]
Half Life 2: Deathmatch was well-received upon its release, with reviewers praising its inclusion of the gravity gun.[12][13]GameSpot lauded the game for the Source engine's 'impressive use of physics' and the available selection of maps.[13]IGN paid similar compliments to the title, also speaking highly of the 'fast play style that [Half-Life 2: Deathmatch] produces.'[12]
Multiple reviews stated that the game suffered from large amount of lag upon release, but GameSpy noted that this was remedied soon after as more servers came online.[14]
