SourceMod is a widely used modding framework that is on some game servers and serves as a foundation for running various plugins. It plays a crucial role in enhancing the gaming experience, allowing server admins to expand the capabilities of their servers with custom features.


# Installing SourceMod

To install SourceMod on your server, download the SourceMod files and upload them to your server files.

  1. Access your Control Panel and Stop the server.
  2. Navigate to the SourceMod website and Install the latest Linux version.
  3. After downloading SourceMod, extract the files to a secure folder on your PC.

We recommend using WinRAR to create and extract .zip files, which can be found here.

  1. Navigate to the VDF Generator website.
  2. Generate a metamod.vdf file for Left 4 Dead 2.
  3. Move the metamod.vdf file you generated to the addons folder located in the directory where you extracted the files in Step 3.
  4. Access your Server Control panel and Navigate to the Files tab.
  5. Locate and Open the left4dead2 folder.
  6. Upload the addons and cfg folders into the left4dead2 directory that you extracted in Step 3.

Now you can Start your server!
