Installing Mani-Admin

[Sciphor]

This is just a quick post on how to setup mani-admin on linux.

First, cd to your srcds folder.
Next, use the command wget to retrieve Metamod: Source (required for mani admin)
wget http://www.sourcemm.net/downloads/mmsource-1.8.6-linux.tar.gz/5

Next you need to unzip the tarball. To do this, use tar xzvf <filename>.tar.gz

After you unzip, you should have an addons folder. Move the addons folder to your game directory (ex: mv addons orangebox/tf)

Next navigate to orangebox/tf (or your game directory) and use ls to see if an addons folder is present. If its not, something went wrong, go back over the steps.

Next you must add this line into gameinfo.txt, which can be found at your games base installation folder. Look for SearchPaths, and add the GameBin line.

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


To check if metamod is running, start your server, and enter "meta version" into the console

If you get "Unknown Command" please recheck the steps above.


Onto the next step!

To install the mani admin plugin, first you must wget the files. I suggest cd'ing to your game directory (ex: /srcds/orangebox/tf).

wget http://maniadminplugin.googlecode.com/files/mani_admin_plugin_v1_2_22_5_orange.zip

Next, unzip the file you just downloaded.
unzip filename.zip

Now these files from the mani admin plugin zip folder will be unzipped and added to whatever game folder you downloaded it to.


Next you must create a exec mani_server.cfg file inside of addons.
The contents of this file should be as follows

"Plugin"
{
"file" "../GAME_HERE/addons/mani_admin_plugin"
}

Now, last of all , locate your server.cfg in the cfg folder, and add this line to it.
exec mani_server.cfg

If you do not have a server.cfg, see this thread:
