Sourcemod on a Listen Server?
Hello, I have just gotten a listen server as of yesterday. I want to install plugins to the server. I want to know if there is a way to do it anymore. I've heard several people say you can't do that anymore, but I know some people have done it recently. How do they do it?

How'd you go about "getting a listen server"? A listen server is what comes up when you start a game with bots from within tf2, there's no "getting" involved.

Anyway, for listen servers, you'd follow the same install directions as a dedicated server except you'd do things inside steam/steamapps/common/team fortress 2/tf/custom/coolstuffye/addons/ . Once things are all installed, you'd type in -insecure into the launch options for tf2 so that metamod and sourcemod can get loaded, and you can go play with bots on your local listen server with all the plugins you want.

At least that's what I've been told.

Okay, I will try that. And I think I meant something besides listen, all I know is it is not a competative server and it involves an ip.
Does it work?

Hmm.. well, technically, it actually works, as long as you have a custom folder in the custom folder (where u put huds and reskins) and then the add-ons, which is where you will put it. It will not work on non created servers.
