I am trying to install this metamod v 1.2.3 on a linux dedicated CS Source server, but it does not give me any output when I try to install a plugin. When I type in "Meta List" it is empty

I'll will explain how I install it and maybe someone can help me out in fix this issue......

I install the metamod folder into the server as

cstrike/addons/metamod
cstrike/addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini.txt
cstrike/addons/metamod/bin/server_i486.so

This there anything else did i miss?

[FlyingMongoose]

cstrike/addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini.txt

Should be

cstrike/addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini

[Saturnsix]

Yes, that is what I have loaded on the game server metaplugins.ini

I just listed what program I installed to add any plugins.


So, this install is correct so far?

[FlyingMongoose]

Other than what I mentioned, it seems alright. If you're running windows xp home or above make sure you go into your folder options and under views UNCHECK "Hide extensions for known file types".

Just a little tip, and yes I see you're running *nix as the server, but if you're modifying the files on windows that still applies before you upload/add to the *nix files.

Ok.....so far this is good news. Looks like I installed this correct.

One other question?

Would I have to install one or both of these programs into my dedicated CSS linux server...

SourceMM 1.2.3 and SourceMM 1.2.3 Source Code????

[FlyingMongoose]

Just SourceMM 1.2.3

Looks like you may not have mentioned whether you've added a line to your gaminfo file or not. According to step 7 and 8 of the offical install document:

http://wiki.tcwonline.org/index.php/Installing_SourceMM

Make sure you have the GameBin line added to your cstrike/gameinfo.txt file.

SearchPaths
{
GameBin |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
Game |gameinfo_path|.
Game cs
Game hl2
}

I don't think he'd be getting output to meta list if he hadn't done that....

of course, I've heard of notepad screwwing up the *nix gameinfo.txt and vice versa...so you might want to use a non-platform specific text editor, my personal favorite:

If you are getting meta list output then Metamod:Source is working.

Make sure you've renamed metaplugins.ini.txt to metaplugins.ini. Then post the contents.

[Saturnsix]

Yes, I do have the metaplugins.ini listed as instructed ......also

I also completed the step on the gameinfo.....I did not add it here as one of the steps i completed but below is what i have on my game server.....it has not been over written which is good news


"GameInfo"
{
game "Counter-Strike Source"

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.
