I think it'd be better if metamod had its own directory at the top of the server directory, so you don't have to have multiple copies of the same plugin for different mods, or a mess of symbolic links. Perhaps something like this: cstrike/ dod/ metamod/ metamod/someplugin metamod/someplugin/someplugin_i486.so metamod/someplugin/somepluginsmiscellaneousfile metamod/otherplugin metamod/otherplugin/otherplugin_i486.so metamod/server_i486.so Then you'd add "meta load someplugin" to cstrike/cfg/autoexec.cfg. You could put server_i486.so in metamod/bin to copy the mod format, but it isn't really a mod so I don't think that applies, and shoving the file one directory deeper is superfluous.

Yes old thread and a bump but making sure it's still embedded in peoples heads, but to point out another flaw in this setup is the fact that most GSPs do not allow FTP access outside of anything BUT the <mod> directory. So GSP setups would be impossible without full gsp support.
