How To Install Plugins For Your L4D2 Server

Installing plugins on your L4D2 server can enhance gameplay and add new features. Game Host Bros makes it easy to enable SourceMod, which is required for most plugins.

How To Enable SourceMod

1. Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and select your server.
2. Navigate to Tools > Mod Manager
3. Install Sourcemod.
4. Restart your server.

How To Install Plugins

Once SourceMod is enabled, you can start adding plugins to your server:

1. In the sidebar go to Management > File Manager.
2. Navigate to the left4dead2/addons/sourcemod/plugins/ directory.
3. Upload your plugin files (usually ending in .smx) to this directory.
4. Restart your server or use the sm plugins refresh command in the server console.

How To Install Extensions

Some plugins require additional extensions to function properly. Here’s how to install them:

1. In the file manager, go to the left4dead2/addons/sourcemod/extensions/ directory.
2. Upload the extension files (ending in .so for Linux) to this directory.
3. If the extension came with a .cfg file, upload it to left4dead2/cfg/sourcemod/.
4. Restart your server.

Always make sure you’re using extensions compatible with Linux and your SourceMod version.
