Hey, I'm having a problem, when i refresh the plugin, this happens


] rcon sm plugins reload advertisements

KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt

KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt

KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\advertisements.txt
(*5*),
[SM] Plugin Advertisements reloaded successfully.

So basically, iv'e checked all over my advertisements.txt file and even borrowed a friend of mines file that has the exact same stuff (his reloads without errors) but when i reloaded mine i got the error. There are no missing { or } anywhere? Can i have some help? Thanks!

I have both files in place
Plugin is in sourcemod/scripting
and advertisements.txt is in sourcemod/configs

this is my advertisements.txt

// Advertisements 0.5
// by Tsunami
// 
// Types
// -----
// C: Center message
// H: Hint message
// M: Menu message
// S: Say message
//    - Colors:  {DEFAULT}, {TEAM}, {GREEN}, {LIGHTGREEN}
//    - Example: {GREEN}Current {LIGHTGREEN}Map: {DEFAULT}{CURRENTMAP}
// T: Top message
//    - Colors:  {WHITE},  {RED},  {GREEN}, {BLUE}, {YELLOW}, {PURPLE}, {CYAN},
//               {ORANGE}, {PINK}, {OLIVE}, {LIME}, {VIOLET}, {LIGHTBLUE}
//    - Example: {ORANGE} www.domain.com
//
// Flags (optional)
// -----
// Accepts flags of admins that will not see the advertisement.
// When omitted everyone will see the advertisement.
// When left empty only admins will see the advertisement.

"Advertisements"
{
	"1"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"Welcome advertisement."
	}
	"2"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"Admin advertisement."
	}
	"3"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"Website advertisement."
	}
	"4"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"Email advertisement"
	}
	"5"
	{
		"type"		"T"
		"text"		"Admins: Do not abuse your powers on ANY players."
		"flags"		""
	}
}

these are my cvars in server.cfg

Plugin is in sourcemod/scripting

sourcemod/plugins/

[TnTSCS]

then you need to put the .smx in the plugins file... the .sp is the sourcecode, not the compiled plugin.

[sinblaster]

Raymondddd as TnT said, you dont use the .sp file for running plugs the .sp file is the pre-compiled source code.
When using plugs its the .smx file that is the key to a plug operating. So you would place the .smx file into sourcemod/plugins and you don't need to upload the .sp file at all. In fact the whole scripting folder is basically useless in regards to a server running.

Where do we put the .txt file?
