This is how to idle in CSS without taking up a lot of computer resources.


This is good for low end computers, or people who do not want their GPU's blowing up while at work. Enjoy :)

This post is how to idle by running CSS in text mode. Textmode requires less resources then running it in full mode, allowing people with lower end computers to idle in the servers.

Option 1 (Recommended)
Windows
  1. Download the installer
  2. Double-click on the installer you just downloaded and follow the steps.
  3. Double-click the Desktop icon or the Start Menu icon to start the Idling tool.
  4. Select the game you want to idle on.
  5. Select a server to idle on.
  6. TADA now you are idling.


-----------------------------------

Now get out there and help FILL THE SERVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I remember this post!

I used to do this a lot on jail and I might get back into the habit again.

The only problem is that 5-6 people seed the same server, and when people join in they see all specs which makes them wanna leave.

It has it's ups and downs.

Thank you, Doom!

Quick question: If I start playing CSS or any other game, will it take me off idling?
 
fyi, when typing what server you want to join go by the number that appears to the left of each game. If you type in the actual name of the game, it will simply shut down the program.

You cannot play CSS but other games should start up (if you have the computer power/internet to do so)

Right now idling on my Core 2 Duo with 3G ram, i am at 11% cpu usage and 61% Ram usage
