How To Install Plugins on CS2 [Metamod & CounterStrikeSharp Guide]

what's going on guys my name is pedy and in this video I'm going to show you exactly how you can install plugins on your CS2 dedicated server now everything I mentioned in this video I'll leave a link in the description and if you get stuck at any stage just leave a comment and I'll do my best to help you out so the first thing we're going to need is metamod source so if we just go over to the left hand side of that website and click Dev builds and then just select windows or Linux depending on what server you have so I'm using Linux so click that we let that downloaded and then the next thing we need is Counter Strike sharp now Counterstrike sharp is basically the source mod replacement for Counter Strike 2 so we need to do is on the right hand side here click releases and then we need to grab the Counterstrike sharp with runtime build so you'll see there's one here for Windows one here for Linux so I'm going to grab the one for Linux and then all we need to do is come back to our server so now I'm going to log in to my server with FTP now what depending on who your server is with this is going to be different but for me I'm just going to be using a program called filezilla to upload uh files to my server so I'll click on SFTP details and I'll just copy these now I've logged into the server I'm going to navigate to the game directory so game and then csgo and then you'll know you're in the right file uh when or right folder sorry when you see all these uh like pack one files Maps folder config Etc so now we need to extract The Meta mode first so I'm going to extract this and then as you see here it's given us an add-ons folder so add-ons is basically where Counter Strike sharp and meta mod are going to be and we just need to copy that into the game route directory so this here is called the root directory so let me drag that in there now okay so now that that folder is uploaded you'll see here we have an add-ons directory here and if we go into that we will see we've got metam mod folders but we still need to edit one more file so if we come down here we'll see game and we'll just open it in notepad and then you'll see here um underneath game violence we want to add another line and then in the description I've uh I've got this in there we just need to add this line in so it looks like this so we're just adding a a fold basically a path to the metam mod folder so then we save that and then we want to write the changes back to the server so we click yes and now meta mod should be installed so what I'm going to do I'm going to come back here and restart so I'm just restarting my server and then we're just need to check met mod is installed so I'm just going to type meta then as you can see here it's brought up this uh usage says basically just if this comes up it means that metamod is installed otherwise it would say something like unknown command if it says unknown command just go back and double check the game info. gii and make sure you've added the correct line and double check that add-ons is in the correct location as well so now we need to install Counterstrike sharp so I'm just going to do the same thing I'm going to extract that folder okay now as you see we've also another add-ons directory then inside of it says Counter Strike sharp and metamod so we're just going to do the same thing we're going to copy that straight into the root directory or the game route directory so I'll drag that in now that Counterstrike sharp is finished copying over let's go back to our server and I'm just going to restart it and now if we we type meta list we now see Counterstrike sharp is running and if we type CSS plugins list this is going to show us the current running Counter Strike sharp plugins which there's none so let's install the plugin now so I'll link this website this is actually my website here and I've got a bunch of uh different plugins on here and you can just search through exactly what you need so I'm just going to grab uh one of these so let me just get the workshop default map plugin and all of these are basically the same as getting The Counter Strike sharp so we just go over to releases and then we download the package then let's extract that so what's different about Counterstrike Sharp versus uh like Source mod is you need to copy over the entire folder you don't copy over the plugins inside so the plugins inside need to match the folder name so to install Counterstrike sharp plugin we go to add-ons Counterstrike sharp plugins and then we just drag the enre folder in so we'll let that upload now catrike sharp also supports uh hot loading of plugins so when a plugin is copied to the server it would normally load up but I found that to be quite hit and miss so as a rule of thumb just restart your server after every plugin that you install it's generally just more reliable so we've restarted the server now and if we type CSS plugins list we can see here that we've got one plug-in loaded the workshop collection default map so that's pretty much it you just go and get the plugins that you want from here um and then you just copy them all over into that plugins directory so the biggest thing to remember is that the add-ons folder is in the root directory of the game so oh sorry slame csgo so this is called the game rout folder so add-ons and make sure everything is inside of that so I hope this helps you get your server modified if you get stuck just leave a comment down below and I'll do my best to help you out but it's pretty straightforward it's literally just copying over those files and then editing your game info. GI file all right thanks for watching guys and just if you like this video just leave me a like or a comment or even subscribe so thanks for watching
