First off, thanks to Drocona for putting so much work into the tutorial.
But damned if I can get the custom sounds to work (as in, typing a special word in chat window to engage the sound). When I join my dedicated server, the sounds download fine. In the game, I can type ma_play 1,2,3,4, or 5 and it'll play the sound fine. I can also see the sound listings and play them fine in the Admin options. So the sounds made it over. But there's something wrong somewhere in the commandlist, I'm guessing, because typing "suspect" and others in a chat window does absolutely nothing.
Here's my commandlist.txt (location is E:\srcds\hl2mp\cfg\mani_admin_plugin):
//
// Mani Admin Plugin 2005
//
// file : commandlist.txt
//
// This file allows you to change the in game say commands
// by replacing them with your own version.
//
// The format is "yourcommand" type replacement command
//
// The type refers to either: -
//
// R = an RCON command to be executed (User must be admin with RCONSay
// authorisation
//
// An example would be: -
//
// "@botadd" R bot_add
// "@alltalk" R sv_alltalk 1
// "@rr" R mp_restartgame 2
//
//
// C = run a client command on your machine, anyone can use these
//
// An example would be: -
//
// "menu" C @admin
// "vote" C @say votemap
// "kickmenu" C @admin kick
//
// S = replace an @say command with your own version
//
// An example would be: -
//
// "@torch" S @ma_burn
// "@kill" S @ma_slay
//
// Note that comments must be started on a new line
// Do not do "@botadd" R bot_add // command to add bots
//
"@botadd" R bot_add
"@alltalk" R sv_alltalk 1
"@rr" R mp_restartgame 2

“suspect” C ma_play 1
“dontstand” C ma_play 2

I also read in another thread that changes had to be made in pure_server_whitelist.txt under the srcds/hl2 folder, so here's that:
whitelist

//
// 3 modifiers are allowed on file specifications:
//
// from_steam - only check the Steam cache for the file (ignore anything on disk)
// allow_from_disk - allow the file to come from disk
// check_crc - used with allow_from_disk - server does CRC checks on the client's file to make sure it matches
//
// The default modifier on all files is allow_from_disk. Thus, all files can come from disk and don't need CRC checks unless
// allow_from_disk can be set at the same time as check_crc. Use the + character in between them to signify this: allow_from_disk+check_crc.
//
// Three types of file specifications:
//
// 1. directory\*.* - refers to all files under the directory
// 2. directory\... - refers to all files under the directory and all directories under that (recursively)
// 3. directory\filename - refers to a single file
//
// By default, when in pure server mode, most content file types are only allowed to come from Steam.
//
