How To Install Plugins On Your SA-MP Server

Plugins add features your scripts can use, such as streamer, sscanf, MySQL or crashdetect. Your server runs on Linux, so you need the Linux version of each plugin, which ends in .so. Windows .dll plugins don't work.

Uploading a Plugin

  1. 1
    Download the Linux .so version of the plugin from its release page.
  2. 2
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  3. 3
    In the sidebar, go to Files and open the plugins folder.
  4. 4
    Upload the .so file.

Loading Plugins

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, find Plugins and type the plugin names, separated by commas. For example: streamer, sscanf.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Many popular plugins, including sscanf and Pawn.CMD, also come as open.mp components. A component goes in the components folder instead, and loads by itself without being listed in Plugins.
