Seems to be a big problem with other people, cannot get Meta Mod to work.
I have a server rented from
www.gameage.co.uk
I have followed all the instructions very closely. Below is the gameinfo.txt
Code:
"GameInfo"
{
game "Counter-Strike Source"
title "COUNTER-STRIKE'"
title2 "source"
type multiplayer_only
nomodels 1
nohimodel 1
nocrosshair 0
hidden_maps
{
"test_speakers" 1
"test_hardware" 1
}
FileSystem
{
SteamAppId 240 // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
ToolsAppId 211 // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
//
// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
//
//
// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
//
// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
// people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
// someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2.
//
SearchPaths
{
GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game cstrike
Game hl2
}
}
}
I have also made it read-only from the ftp program, heres a screenie

The server_i486.so is in the addons/metamod/bin directory. The blank metaplugins.ini file is in the addons/metamod directory.
Can't see where I have gone wrong. When I restart the server and type in "meta" in console, it says its an unknown command. And when I check the gameinfo.txt, it has NOT been overwritten.
Oh by the way, I have Windows XP (as you can see from the screenie
)
Their server is run from Linux
P.S. I also have Mani Mod installed if that makes a difference (as someone on the forum says that they have meta mod working alongisde Mani mod)
