How to Add Plugins to Your CS:GO server

Plugins are a great way to add variety to your CS:GO server. From adding new items or bots to adding whole new maps, plugins can change the way you play the game.

Before you can install plugins, you need to make sure that you have installed both SourceMod and MetaMod onto your server. Refer to this guide for SourceMod and MetaMod installation steps.

Important: SourceMod & MetaMod can be installed for a number of games. When installing plugins, ensure that they are for CS:GO, and not for other games!

Downloading Plugins

Before you can upload the plugin to your server, you will need to find and download it. For SourceMod plugins go to this forum, for MetaMod plugins refer to this forum.

  1. Locate the forum thread for your desired plugin.
  2. Click the Get Plugin link to download it.

Installing Plugins

After downloading your desired plugin(s) you should upload their .smx files to your server's SourceMod plugins folder.

  1. Access your server files via FTP, we recommend using Filezilla.
  2. Navigate to the /csgo/addons/sourcemod/plugins/ directory.
  3. Upload your downloaded plugin.smx file.
  4. Access your control panel and Restart your server.
