How to Install SourceMod Plugins on your Counter Strike: Source Server

SourceMod is a modification framework that allows server owners of games that run on the Half-life 2 Engine to have advanced features, and the ability to install plugins.

The plugins can add a huge variety of content and features to your server, to differ away from the standard CS: Source experience. As a server owner, you can host custom games and custom events, or start your own surf server.

You can find the full list of CS:S SourceMod plugins here.


Installing SourceMod

You can automatically install SourceMod to your server using your CS: Source server settings file.

  1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  2. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  3. Click Counter Strike: Source Server Settings.
  4. Locate the Install SourceMod option, and set it to Enabled.
  5. Save and Start your server.

You'll need to start your server to ensure that SourceMod has been installed, afterwards you will be able to start installing plugins.


Installing SourceMod Plugins

You can install mods by uploading the SMX file to the SourceMod plugins folder.

  1. Download your chosen plugins from the SourceMod plugin list.
  2. Navigate to your control panel and Stop your server.
  3. Access your server files via FTP, we suggest using FileZilla.
  4. Navigate to /cstrike/addons/sourcemod/plugins, and upload the plugin's SMX file to this location.
  5. Start your server.
