Installing plugins on your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server can enhance gameplay and add new features. By default, Game Host Bros CS:GO servers come with Metamod and SourceMod preinstalled and configured for use after CS2's release. We also preconfigure Cleaner to remove any messages about needing to update your server after CS2's launch.
We suggest you only add a single plugin or extension at a time and ensure it's working before moving on to installing another plugin. Installing lots of plugins at once makes it much harder to troubleshoot what is causing problems.
How to Install Plugins
- 1In the sidebar, go to
File Manager. - 2Navigate to the
csgo/addons/sourcemod/plugins/directory. - 3Upload your plugin files (usually ending in .smx) to this directory.
- 4Restart your server or use the
sm plugins refreshcommand in the server console.
To check if your plugins have loaded, you can type sm plugins list into the server console, and it will print out all the running plugins.
How to Install Extensions
Some plugins require additional extensions to function properly. Here's how to install them:
- 1In the Files, go to the
csgo/addons/sourcemod/extensions/directory. - 2Upload the extension files (ending in .so for Linux) to this directory.
- 3If the extension came with a .cfg file, upload it to
csgo/cfg/sourcemod/. - 4Restart your server.
Always make sure you're using extensions compatible with Linux and your SourceMod version.
To check if your extensions have loaded, you can type sm exts list into the server console, and it will print out all the running extensions.
