  Files of interest (Usually located in the hlds_l/ns/ folder of the directory you installed hlds at (Examples: NIX: home/ronnie/hlds_l/ns/, WIN32: C:/hlds_l/ns/)):
  
  server.cfg - hostname, game settings etc.
  motd.txt - message of the day, appears when you join a NS server
  
  If you'd like to learn how to add nice features such as admin tools, timed messages in your server and plugins like medkit on the ammo station you will need admin mod. You can find Admin Mod at adminmod.org. Check the documentation there on how to install/configure.

  hostname "Natural Selection v2.0"
  
  // to disable HLTV from connecting to your server
  //sv_proxies 0

  Change the hostname to something more unique (but keep the 2.0), add sv_contact "a_contact_detail" and if you want serverop recognition when you join add your wonid to mp_serverops. The rest of it looks fine.
  
  
  Next thing after the basic server works ok is add metamod, adminmod (or amx if you want) and some sort of consgreeting so you can specify the rules of play.
