			==== Installing the patched TF Tools extension ====

			Many plugins depend on the built-in TF Tools extension that comes with Sourcemod. This isn't compatible with TF2C. Instead, we can use a patched version of the extension which enables the use of many plugins.

			There's currently no public download link for this extension. After joining the Team Fortress 2 Classified Discord server you can find the files you need in [this message https://discordapp.com/channels/196337717267791874/1011914229307166780/1467172013637636327]. Specifically, you need <code>game.tf2.ext.2.tf2.so</code> and <code>sm-tf2.games.txt</code>.

			First, we'll need to disable automatic game data updating to prevent our gamedata file from being removed.

			<pre>
			$ nano ~/classified/tf2classified/addons/sourcemod/configs/
			<pre>

			Replace <code>"no"</code> in this part of the file with <code>"yes"</code>

			<pre>
			/**
			* Enables or Disables SourceMod's automatic gamedata updating.
			*
			* The default value is "no". A value of "yes" will block the Auto Updater.
			*/
			"DisableAutoUpdate" "no" // Change to "yes"
			</pre>

			Next we'll add both the gamedata file and the plugin to our installation.

			<pre>
			$ mv $WHEREVER_YOU_PUT_IT/sm-tf2.games.txt ~/classified/tf2classified/addons/sm-tf2.games.txt
			$ mv $WHEREVER_YOU_PUT_IT/game.tf2.ext.2.tf2.so ~/classified/tf2classified/addons/extensions/x64
			</pre>

			Finally, create an empty file so that the extension is automatically loaded.

			<pre>
			$ touch ~/classified/tf2classified/addons/sourcemod/extensions/game.tf2.autoload
			</pre>
