Well, i started a new tf2 server and clan now i thought about using mani but when i tried it 1.2s orange i couldn't get it to work after trying for about 45mins so i decided to give beetles mod a shot but apparently something went wrong there too and shortly after installing it my server would crash 1 second after startup. So are there any good admin mods for tf2 out there besides beetlesmod and mani, preferably something easy to use.
Also, my apologies if this is in the wrong topic.

For TF2, SourceMod (needs metamod) or BeetlesMod is preferred.
BM is clearly easier to set up (Just one long config). Sm is more complex and requires plugins to do some things, but is considered the best. It's also the most stable. SM tends to servive updates better then BM.
If you updated a day or two ago, you might have gotten the bad server.dll file. Try updating again. That might fix the BM issue.

I highly recommend Sourcemod especially because of the Sourcebans system! In my opinion, even if you use Beetles, you will need to run a Sourcemod plugin or 2, why not just cut Beetles and used the built in SM Admin? That is my philosophy.

Another reason SM takes the pie is because it is continuously being updated and fixed. Plus, it works with ALL source games without issues. CS:S, DOD:S, TF2, L4D... NO PROBLEM!
Mani has limited TF2 support and no L4D (afaik). BM is good for TF2, but lacks the customization that SM can give you. To also has limited L4D abilities (last time I checked).
