Adding Plugins to Your CSGO Server
Install SourceMod plugins and extensions on your CSGO dedicated server, which comes with Metamod and SourceMod pre-installed.
Installing plugins on your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server can enhance gameplay and add new features. By default, XGamingServer CS:GO servers come with Metamod and SourceMod preinstalled and configured for use after CS2's release. We also preconfigure Cleaner to remove any messages about needing to update your server.
We suggest adding one plugin or extension at a time and ensuring it works before installing another. Installing many plugins at once makes troubleshooting much harder.
How to Install Plugins
Open the Plugins Directory
In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to csgo/addons/sourcemod/plugins/.
Upload Your Plugins
Upload your plugin files (usually ending in .smx) to this directory.
Load the Plugins
Restart your server or use the sm plugins refresh command in the server console.
To check if your plugins have loaded, type sm plugins list into the server console.
How to Install Extensions
Some plugins require additional extensions to function properly.
Open the Extensions Directory
In Files, go to csgo/addons/sourcemod/extensions/.
Upload Extension Files
Upload the extension files (ending in .so for Linux) to this directory. If the extension came with a .cfg file, upload it to csgo/cfg/sourcemod/.
Restart Your Server
Restart your server to load the extensions. Always make sure you are using extensions compatible with Linux and your SourceMod version.
To check if your extensions have loaded, type sm exts list into the server console.
