-==Adding Plugins==
+As of Metamod:Source 1.4.3, there is a new plugin loading method using <tt>.vdf</tt> files.  These files are placed in the <tt>addons/metamod</tt> folder.  Check your plugin's documentation to see if it comes with one of these files; if it does not, you will need to follow the directions below to load it.
 <ol>
-<li>Open (or create) the "addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini" file in your mod folder (such as "cstrike" or "hl2mp").</li>
+ <li>Open (or create) the "addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini" file in your mod folder (such as "cstrike" or "hl2mp").  You must use a plain text editor.  If you use Notepad, make sure to save as "All Files" or else it may add an erroneous <tt>.txt</tt> extension.</li>
-<li>Follow the installation instructions the plugin gives you - usually this means uploading its files.</li>
+ <li>Add a line to <tt>metaplugins.ini</tt> which points to the plugin's path. For example, if the plugin is in <tt>cstrike\addons\sourcemod\bin\sourcemod_mm_i486.so</tt>, you would add:
 <pre>addons\sourcemod\bin\sourcemod_mm</pre>
-Note that you do not need to worry about the file extension - all you need is the mod folder relative path to the file. If you add an extension, it won't hurt, but it's autodetected anyway. Also, unlike the original Metamod, you do not need to specify whether the plugin is Linux or Windows. You can also specify a full path name, where autodetection will no longer work.</li>
+Note that you do not need to worry about the file extension or operating system - all you need is the relative path to the file. If you add an extension, it won't hurt, but it's auto-detected regardless.</li>
-<li>Save the file and either restart the server, change the map, or type "meta refresh" in the console. Note that some plugins need special hooks that may require a map change.</li>

 Here, "sourcemod" is now defined as an alias for "addons\sourcemod\bin\sourcemod_mm" which is useful if you wish to unload a plugin and then load it again without needing to type a long file path.

 If the plugin path contains a space and you wish to create an alias, you do not need quotes.  However, a non-alias path will be misread as an alias. In this case, you must use quotes:
-<pre>"addons\My Plugin\bin\My Plugin.dll"</pre.
+<pre>"addons\My Plugin\bin\My Plugin.dll"</pre>
