Wexingtn:

This article will guide you through a [[SourceMM]] installation.

If you don't already have Metamod:Source bundled with a plugin, you can install it manually with the directions below.

<ol>
<li>'''Download''' the appropriate package for your server: there is a Linux tarball and Windows zip file. You can get this from the [http://www.sourcemm.net/ SourceMM Website].</li>
<li>'''Open''' the package, you will either have "server_i486.so" or "server.dll".</li>
<li>'''Find '''your "mod folder" on your server. This will be something like "cstrike" or "hl2mp".</li>
<li>'''Make''' a folder in your mod folder called "addons", if it doesn't already exist. Make a folder inside addons called "metamod", and a folder inside "metamod" called "bin".</li>
<li>'''Create''' a new, blank, text file called "metaplugins.ini".</li>
<li>'''Upload''' the files to your server:
<ul><li>Upload the server.dll or server_i486.so file to your addons/metamod/bin Folder.</li>
<li>Upload the metaplugins.ini file to your addons/metamod folder.</li>
<li>WARNING! - Do not replace the mod's server.dll/server_i486.so (usually in "<mod>\bin"). This will cause your mod to stop working.</li>
</ul>
<li>'''Open''' the file in the mod folder called "gameinfo.txt". You will see a few lines at the bottom like this:
<pre>
SearchPaths
{
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game cstrike
Game hl2
}
</pre></li>
<li>'''Add''' a line before all of the "Game" entries that looks like this:<pre>GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
</pre>
</li>
<li>'''You're''' done! To test whether it worked, restart your game server and type "meta" in the [[server console]]. You should get a menu.
<li>'''For''' more information, documentation, and troubleshooting, see [[:Category:Documentation (SourceMM)]]</li>
<li>'''Optional''' Cvars:
<tt>mm_pluginsfile</tt> - Sets the path and name of the plugins file, defaulting to "addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini". It is relative to the mod directory.</li>
</ol>

If your gameinfo.txt gets rewritten, your line gets removed, and metamod won't run do this. Create a text file in "counter-strike source" called sourcemm.bat and then right-click edit. put this in.

cd "cstrike"
copy GameInfo.txt.mms GameInfo.txt
cd ..
hl2.exe -insecure -console -game cstrike

Then in "cstrike" (under folder you were just in) copy "gameinfo.txt" and rename it "gameinfo.txt.mss" ( I got this off http://www.tcwonline.org/~dvander/cssdm/ )
