How To Install SourceMod And Plugins On Your Team Fortress 2 Classified Server

SourceMod adds admin tools, map votes and thousands of community plugins to your Team Fortress 2 Classified server. Your server installs it for you with one switch.

Turning On SourceMod

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Modding, enable SourceMod.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Your server installs the latest SourceMod and MetaMod:Source development builds, which are the versions Team Fortress 2 Classified supports. While Automatic Updates is on, a restart also updates them when a newer build comes out. Your plugins and configs are kept.

To turn SourceMod off, disable SourceMod and click Save & Restart. Your plugins and configs stay in place for when you turn it back on.

Installing Plugins

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Navigate to tf2classified/addons/sourcemod/plugins.
  4. 4
    Upload your plugin files (ending in .smx).
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Becoming An Admin

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Open tf2classified/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini.
  4. 4
    Add a line with your Steam ID and "99:z", for example "STEAM_0:1:12345678" "99:z", then save the file.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Join your server and type sm_admin in the console to open the admin menu.

Caution

Team Fortress 2 Classified is not stock Team Fortress 2. Plugins that need TF2-only extensions, such as TF2 Tools or TF2Items, won't work. Plugins built for any Source game generally work.
