If you want imediate fixes you can try compiling the source code.
Gameplay
In HideNSeek the CTs, with only knives at their disposal, try to catch the Ts.
Terrorists can't attack with their knife, so they have to run and perform tricks to escape or even kill the CTs.
If CTs don't manage to kill all the Ts until the round ends, they lose.
So this mod is the classing HNS mod from CS 1.6. It's not PropHunt.
Check the Rules and Maps sections below for more info.

Changelog
Quote:
21-03-2015(v2.0.0-beta1)
* Added Respawn Mode:
---- Respawn temporary protection for CTs
---- Respawn temporary invisibility for Ts (that can be broken if they get to close to a CT, throw a nade, or climb a ladder); Ts can see their own teammates
---- The plugin can take use of existing info_deathmatch_spawn entities in maps
---- The plugin can make use of players to generate "random" spawn points (needs more work)
---- When a CT player kills a T player they swap teams
---- The CTs have a default respawn time of 5 seconds (can be set by ConVar)
---- If a T player suicides it will receive respawn time penalties (stacks); also the T player will swap teams with a dead CT player if possible; the stacks are removed one by one if the player kills a T as a CT or if it gets killed by a CT as a T
---- RM features a single round with configurable duration (by ConVar) that doesn't end until the timer runs down
---- Admins can easily switch from RM to Normal Mode and vice-versa
---- Dropped weapons are stripped
---- Added a !spectate command that works in the following way: the player will stand still after using it and wait for 5 seconds; if an enemy is too close you can't use the command (this happens so Ts don't use the spectate command to escape from CTs)
---- Players do not need to use a !respawn command as the plugin constantly checks if dead players are not respawning
* Added translations (only English and Russian are currently available).
* Removed ConVar enforcement (to ensure compatibility with MultiMod)
* Players cannot use the explode command (equivalent to kill) if it's forbidden
* Added an advertising message announcing the mod (HNS), the mode (normal or respawn) and the creator (me) - this only appears once per map for each player and can be disabled by ConVar
* Added a ConVar to hide the radar
* Some code restructuring and cleanup (more will follow before 2.0.0 final release)
* Some crash / bug fixes

* Added jump distance and BunnyHop counter stats;
* Added a server ConVar and a client command to toggle stats (!togglestats);
* Added ConVars for getting HE Grenades and Decoy Grenades;
* FrostNades now replace Decoy Grenades (reasons: a Smoke Grenade bug; Smoke Grenades might have other uses, while Decoys don't);
* Players can now override the hns_block_jointeam ConVar if the teams are unbalanced (player difference >= mp_limitteams + 1);
In this case players could reconnect and join the other team anyway. This is good for balanced gameplay.

Rules
An example of what the rules can (and should) be:
Spoiler
1. CTs must kill all the Ts before the time runs out or they will lose and T will win.
2. Ts must try to survive until the round ends.
3. Even though the mod is named HideNSeek, hiding is not allowed.
4. Players must not help the other team in any way.
5. Terrorists are not allowed to block a path if that path is the only way for the CTs to reach them.
6. Ladder blocking is usually allowed for both teams unless it's against rule #5.
7. Simply running away for long periods of time, without doing any tricks, is not allowed for Terrorists. If you feel like doing so then this game is not for you.
8.CTs should not be punished for understabbing. They must do anything possible to catch the Ts.
If somebody plays against the rules they should be warned or punished with slaps, slays or kicks.
Banning is only suitable for players who break these rules repeatedly, after being warned.
Maps
Maps for this mod should have a hns_ or hideandseek_ prefix in their name, altough it's not mandatory.
The same maps should allow various tricks such as highjumps, ladderjumps, surfs, bhops...
Keep in mind that I only feature Workshop maps. There are other maps not posted there.
ConVars
Coming soon...
The plugin automatically generates a .cfg file when you first run it. You can find it by this path: \csgo\cfg\sourcemod\hidenseek.cfg

Bugs
No current known bugs at the moment. Where are they hiding?
If you think you found one please open an issue here. I check that page more often than this thread.
Requests
Please do not request a block building plugin.
Do not send me private messages containing requests. Please use the Issues page on GitHub or this forum instead.
I'm maintaining a separate Jumpstats plugin here.
Source Code
If you would like to see the source code or compile the plugin yourself, you can check the GitHub Repo.
You can download the latest compiled release from the Releases page.
@Dkmuniz: Thanks for the idea, I added chances to get grenades. Hopefully I'll be able to add Freeze Smoke Grenades later. I don't know about the "more speed for all round" thing, it might break the gameplay.
Version 1.1 has been released.

Important thing: This release hasn't been fully tested yet. I'll have it thoroughly tested by wednesday. Please report any bugs.
@wortexo: Thanks for letting me know. I'm a bit busy with my exams now, but I might do a quick fix. Edit: Released the fix. Version 1.1.2 now. Edit2: Released version 1.1.3, fixing some small bugs. I haven't tested this one yet.
x3ro also has a plugin for Blockmaker, but it has some small bugs afaik (you can get stuck for example). He also said he wants to reskin the blocks.
I like the classic HNS gameplay without blocks better, you should talk to him if you're interested.
