The below is a simplified install guide and does not provide full issue and install feedback in order to remain simple. In most cases this guide should be sufficient, however in case you experience unusual behaviour, a detailed install guide is available here.
Your Server
SourceMod is a server addon. If you want to install SourceMod, it needs to be installed on the server.
There are two kinds of servers: listen and dedicated.
- A listen server is the server you host when using the in-game "create server" feature. NOTE: as of recent, SourceMod cannot run on a listen server by default. It is not recommended to use a listen server.
- A dedicated server is run using the Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server, located in the Tools category on Steam.
Note: If you are installing SourceMod on a server not located near you, you should use the detailed install guide.
Finding the root folder
The main folder of your server is located in /Steam/steamapps/<username>/source 2007 dedicated server/
Installing Metamod:Source
SourceMod runs using Metamod:Source. You will need to install Metamod in order for SourceMod to work.
- Download Metamod. The download link is located on the left side of the webpage. Make sure to pick the proper operation system (Windows on a Windows server, Linux on a Linux server, and so on).
Install instructions on Metamod can be found here.
Installing SourceMod
Once you have installed Metamod:Source, there will be an "addons" folder in your server's game root.
Download SourceMod (make sure to pick the proper operation system). Place the content of the zip into your server's game root.
You have now successfully installed SourceMod!
