SourceMod is a server modding platform that provides admin tools, permissions, and plugin support. Installing it is strongly recommended if you plan to run a publicly-facing server.

You'll need to install the '''~~latest~~ development version''' of SourceMod, as well as MetaMod which SourceMod depends on to work. '''It will not work with stable releases currently'''. As of writing this article, ~~it's~~ 7301 and 1389 respectively.

Existing SourceMod plugins are not guaranteed to work and may require special steps or patching to get working.

==== Installing the patched TF2 Tools extension ====

Many plugins depend on the built-in TF2 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 [https://discordapp.com/channels/196337717267791874/1011914229307166780/1467172013637636327 this message]. 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/core.cfg

</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/gamedata/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>
