=== Installing SourceMod ===

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 TF Tools extension ====

==== Installing the patched TF2 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 [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.

$ mv $WHEREVER_YOU_PUT_IT/sm-tf2.games.txt ~/classified/tf2classified/addons/sm-tf2.games.txt

$ mv $WHEREVER_YOU_PUT_IT/sm-tf2.games.txt ~/classified/tf2classified/addons/gamedata/custom/sm-tf2.games.txt

=== SourceMod extensions doesn't load with "Extension version is too new/old to load" error ===

Depending on what version of SourceMod you have installed you will either need to install the extension API 8 or API 9 version of extensions. Sourcemod 1.13 v7354 bumped the extension API number, which breaks extensions built for older versions.

If it complains about the extension being too new, you'll probably need to install the API 8 version. If it complains about the extension being too old then you'll probably need to install the API 9 version.

The patched TF2 Tools extension has builds for both extension API versions in the pinned message. However, an API 9 build is not available for Windows as of writing.
