I just got my very first server. Where do i start?

I want to get a CS:S GG DM setup going with admin controls and some other features. But I have no idea where to start. Sourcemod? Metamod? GG? DM? then some admin plugins?

First you need to install Metamod. SourceMod is a plugin for Metamod.

What file i need to edit to change time of bans in sourcemod menu ?

Hi!
(i'm french so excuse me if my english isn't very good)

I'm searching a way to restrict the acces of certains admins to certains plugins without to change their flags in admin simple.ini.

I try with admin_overrides.cfg, i put this in this file

Spoiler

Overrides
{
"sm_respawn" "z"
"sm_spawnuncommon" "z"
"sm_spawnuncommonhorde" "Z"
"sm_spawnweapon" "z"
"sm_giveweapon" "z"
}
and i also try

Overrides
{
"sm_respawn" "z"
"sm_spawnuncommon" "z"
"sm_spawnuncommonhorde" "Z"
"sm_spawnweapon" "z"
"sm_giveweapon" "z"
"sm_gw" "z"
"sm_removemachine "z"
"sm_rmg "z"
"sm_smg "z"
"sm_spawnmachineg "z"
"sm_sw "z"
"sm_zspawn "z"
}

but it works only for two plugins: sm_respawn & spawn uncommon(edit: i did an error for spawn uncommon by writing "Z" in capital letter.)

The plugin i want to restrict is : l4d2 weapon/zombies spawner

I'm almost sure that i don't have the right "sm_command" but i don't know where to find them.

I try sm plugins list + sm cmds and copy/paste all the commands i found in the admin_override.cfg but the admin without the flags "z" are still allowed to spawn weapons and medkit (and broke the gamplay by spawn too much supplies )
I'm on a windows dedicated server with SourceMod Version: 1.5.0-dev+3792 & Metamod:Source version 1.10.0-dev

the only thing i want to do is to make those plugins available only for the root admins (4 players) and unavailable for all the others (15 players, it's a lot and it's why i don't want to change all their flags)

Did someone know a solution to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

Change "Z" to "z" and make sure you end all commands with a quotation mark. In particular, everything here:

...
"sm_removemachine "z"
"sm_rmg "z"
"sm_smg "z"
"sm_spawnmachineg "z"
"sm_sw "z"
"sm_zspawn "z"
...

Thanks for your answer!

I saw my mistake with "z" in capital letter and i change it just after i wrote this post. (that make "uncommon horde" for root admin only.)
But i was certainly too tired to see the awful mistake i made

I'm going to try this but i'm pretty sure that is the point i miss.

Edit:

I probably make the mistake when i copy past in this thread cos in my admin_override.cfg the quotation mark are at the good place.

Overrides
{
"sm_respawn" "z"
"sm_spawnuncommon" "z"
"sm_spawnuncommonhorde" "z"
"sm_spawnweapon" "z"
"sm_giveweapon" "z"
"sm_gw" "z"
"sm_removemachine" "z"
"sm_rmg" "z"
"sm_smg" "z"
"sm_spawnmachineg" "z"
"sm_spawnweapon" "z"
"sm_sw" "z"
"sm_zspawn" "z"

}

But the plugin is still available to all admins.

May be the admin_override.cfg restric only the use to the sm_command used by chat?

Cos i use it (and all admin) by the admin menu.

For the moment the only way i find to restrict it to "non root admin" was to remove the "f" flags to all the admins (but it restrict acces to a lot of others fonctions of plugins using adm flags "slay".

I also ask to the plugin maker what are the sm_commands for this one but i don't have any answer.

(But i was sure that the commands was the one i can see in HLSW with sm cmds)

I Hope that someone who had the same problem and solved it read this thread.

By the way thank you for your response

Which plugin is this?

[NeoTM]

It's weapon/zombies spawner

http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=109659

And the only commands i found for this plugin with sm cmds are this one:

"sm_spawnweapon" "z"
"sm_giveweapon" "z"
"sm_gw" "z"
"sm_removemachine" "z"
"sm_rmg" "z"
"sm_smg" "z"
"sm_spawnmachineg" "z"
"sm_spawnweapon" "z"
"sm_sw" "z"
"sm_zspawn" "z"

But i don't understand why it works with the other plugins and not with this one cos i do exactly the same things for all

sm plugins list + sm cmds <number of plugin>

and copy past the commands found in admin_override.cfg

Is it possible that the problem came from my server renter?

Cos i also got a problem with my almost all my files.cfg located in left4dead2/left4dead2/cfg/sourcemod.

If i change the values in those files they don't change in game.

I'm forced to copy past all the content of the files in sourcemod.cfg for make them works.

But i don't have this problem in the windows server i had hosted on my PC and in a windows server of a friend.
(the server where i got the problem is a linux server)

Very strange things happen sometimes!

Really helpful

I have a troubleshooting question to ask.

Q: What are the solutions I can do if I know I installed Sourcemod correctly, but I get the "unknown command" response whenever I type "sm version" in the server console or "sm_admin" while playing in-game?
