We are going to go through the motions of installing Sourcemod onto your server. Please note, before installing Sourcemod you need to have Metamod: Source installed on your server. Don’t worry though as we will be showing you how to do it in this tutorial :)

Firstly, login to the control panel and select the server that you want to install Sourcemod on by clicking ‘Control Panel’ under the respective server.

Now we are in the control panel, we are going to navigate to ‘Mod Central’. Mod Central is a repository of all mods that INX Gaming have in their control panel. Once we have clicked on Mod Central we are shown a list of all the available mods for the type of server that you are running. In the example shown below, there is a list of mods that are available for a Counter Strike Source server. The first mod that we are interested in installing at the moment is Metamod: Source. Locate it on the list and click ‘Install’.

Once the install is successful, you will be prompted to restart the server. Failiure to restart the server when advised could cause problems with the installation and therefore the mod may not function.

Click ‘Start/Restart’ to restart the server which will complete the installation.

To ensure that Metamod: Source has installed correctly, we are going to check to see if the server is back online. If the server is not online, then there may be a chance that Metamod: Source did not install correctly. Click ‘Home’ to return to the summary of your server. As you can see from the example below, the server is online. We can now go ahead and install Sourcemod onto the server.

Navigate to Mod Central like we did earlier. This time we are going to locate Sourcemod in the list and then click ‘Install’.

Once the installation of Sourcemod is completed, you will be prompted to restart the server again. Simply click the ‘Start/Restart’ button as shown below.

Once the server has restarted, i need to check to see if the mods have installed correctly and are currently running. The simplest way to do this is to view your server through HLSW. If the mods have been installed correctly and are running as they should be, you would expect to see what is highlighted below. Please bear in mind that the version numbers may differ from the ones shown in this tutorial.

How to disable Zblock on a CS Source server http://www.inx-gaming.com/gaming-blog/cs-source-tutorials/disable-zblock-cs-source-server/ http://www.inx-gaming.com/gaming-blog/cs-source-tutorials/disable-zblock-cs-source-server/#comments Sun, 13 Dec 2009 16:14:14 +0000 Olly http://www.inx-gaming.com/gaming-blog/?p=201 Continue reading ]]> Zblock is a cool anticheat tool you can install onto Counterstrike Source game servers.

However, you might find you want to remove it. For one reason ZBlock can be a bit of pain when it comes to custom content (although you can make use of the whitelist). We wouldn’t therefore recommend it on public servers.

So how do I remove ZBlock from my CS Source server?

  • Firstly log into the FTP of your game server. The details are clearly displayed on the home page of your control panel
  • Navigate to the following folder:- srcds_l/cstrike/addons/
  • Now delete the following two files:- zblock_css.vdf & zblock_i486.so
  • You can safely close the FTP program now :)
  • Finally go back to your control panel and restart your server.

ZBlock should now be successfully removed from your Counterstrike Source server.

How do I re-enable ZBlock on my CSS server?

Pretty easy :)

Jump back onto your control panel and click on Mod Central. Here you should see Zblock- just click and the panel will automatically install for you. Wow ;)

Quake Sounds on Counterstrike Source game servers http://www.inx-gaming.com/gaming-blog/cs-source-tutorials/quake-sounds-on-counterstrike-source-game-servers/ http://www.inx-gaming.com/gaming-blog/cs-source-tutorials/quake-sounds-on-counterstrike-source-game-servers/#comments Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:34:28 +0000 Olly http://www.inx-gaming.com/gaming-blog/?p=183 Continue reading ]]> We all love shooting someone in the head and hearing the echoing words:

HEADSHOT!!!!111

Those that used to play on Unreal Tournament servers will remember fondly the bunny hopping, the unleashing of a missile followed by the epic shout of:

M M M M MONSTER KILL!!!!

We are blessed that Quake Sounds also work on Counterstrike Source game servers through the popular addon Manimod. And in just a few steps you can have them configured. Here’s how.

1. Upload Quake Sounds to your Counterstrike Source server

If you already have an INX game server, Quake Sounds will already be uploaded. Useful eh?

If not, they need to go into the following folder:

/cstrike/sound/quake/

You should upload these using your favourite FTP program.

2. Enable Quake Sounds

Again, on your FTP look for the following file:

cstrike/cfg/mani_quake_sounds.cfg

In this file, you should set the following parameter for Quake Sounds to work on your CS Source server:

mani_quake_sounds 1

3. Adding quakesoundlist.txt

Again, if you have an INX gameserver, quakesoundlist.txt will already be there. Useful again eh? ;)

If not, you can find this from the Quake Sounds download on the Manimod website.

This file needs to be in the following directory:

cstrike/cfg/mani_admin_plugin/

4. Activate Quake Sounds on your Counterstrike Source gameserver

We’re almost there. Locate the following file on your game server:

/srcds_l/cstrike/cfg/mani_server.cfg

Make sure the following is set:

exec mani_quake_sounds.cfg

5. We’re done- restart your gameserver!

Finally, for the settings to take effect, you need to restart your game server. INX customers can do this on our control panel.

Not working? Leave a comment below or raise a support ticket. Otherwise, Fingers crossed, Quake Sounds should now be running on your Counterstrike Source game server! :)
