Sent you the request. The steps you outlined seem clear. I'll try them.

Uhh, idk how to explain it in workshop comments :D

So, if you wan't to install kz plugin on your hosted server, you should download the plugin from github and then just drag and drop to your server cs2 folder. This depends on yours server. If server using linux, just download linux-master version and unarchive it. Windows (windows-master). You'll probably see same folders like on server, so just be sure that you copied whole content. Sadly, I can't send some screenshots to you in comments, but you can add me so I can help you.

If you want install it in hammer, just use FKZ CS2 Lan guide, but you can skip the first step and the last one (server setup, and the maps).

Sorry if this is a noobie question, I have done some kz on community servers but never set up everything locally. Would really appreciate your help here

Yes. How to install and use it?

Like how to install or?

tysm for the map. Is there a guide to the kz api?

Take a time, everything can be done with small amount of practice! Great to hear that you liked my map port.

Ah, these always look so good. Yet I am too retarded to play them :'( sniff
