description: Overview of the ReHLDS project ecosystem, including ReHLDS, Metamod-r, and ReGameDLL_CS, designed to enhance the Half-Life Dedicated Server experience.
The ReHLDS project is a collection of re-engineered and optimized components designed to enhance the experience of running Half-Life Dedicated Servers (HLDS), particularly for games like Counter-Strike 1.6 and other HLDS-based titles. These projects offer improvements in performance, security, customization, and extendability, providing a more modern and robust platform for game servers.
Our organization maintains several key projects that work seamlessly together or independently to improve server stability, flexibility, and functionality.
ReHLDS is a reverse-engineered version of the original HLDS engine, aimed at delivering a more secure, efficient, and customizable server experience. Built on the original HLDS 6153 build, ReHLDS introduces numerous performance optimizations, expanded configuration options, and improved network handling.
Metamod-r is an optimized version of the original Metamod, acting as a dynamic plugin manager between the HLDS engine and game mods. It enables servers to load and unload plugins without restarts, making server customization more flexible. Metamod-r is designed to work with both HLDS and ReHLDS, providing an improved core with enhanced performance and a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler.
ReGameDLL_CS is a re-engineered version of the Counter-Strike GameDLL, providing server admins and modders with an enhanced, stable base for running Counter-Strike 1.6 and Condition Zero. It offers extended APIs, additional game settings, and improved security, enabling advanced modifications and enhanced control over server settings.
The ReHLDS suite is intended for server administrators, modders, and developers who want more control, improved stability, and advanced customization options for their HLDS-based servers. With regular updates and contributions from dedicated developers, ReHLDS components are reliable, compatible, and ideal for maintaining high-performance servers for today’s gaming needs.
Each project has its own set of documentation to help you install, configure, and make the most of the features offered. To start exploring, select a project from the navigation menu, or visit our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ReHLDS) for the latest releases and updates.
