How To Install Plugins For Your TF2 Server

Installing plugins on your Team Fortress 2 server can enhance gameplay and add new features. Game Host Bros makes it easy to enable SourceMod, which is required for most plugins.

How To Install SourceMod

1. 1
   Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
2. 2
   In the sidebar, go to Settings in the left sidebar.
3. 3
   Find the Enable Sourcemod option and change its value to 1.
4. 4
   Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Whenever your server starts, Sourcemod and Metamod will automatically stay up-to-date with the latest stable version.

How To Install Plugins

Once SourceMod is enabled, you can start adding plugins to your server:

1. 1
   In the sidebar, go to Files.
2. 2
   Navigate to the tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins/ directory.
3. 3
   Upload your plugin files (usually ending in .smx) to this directory.
4. 4
   Restart your server or use the sm plugins refresh command in the server console.

How To Install Extensions

Some plugins require additional extensions to function properly. Here's how to install them:

1. 1
   In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to the tf/addons/sourcemod/extensions/ directory.
2. 2
   Upload the extension files (ending in .so for Linux) to this directory.
3. 3
   If the extension came with a .cfg file, upload it to tf/cfg/sourcemod/.
4. 4
   Restart your server.

Always make sure you're using extensions compatible with Linux and your SourceMod version.
