Installation

  • Install Metamod
  • Install CounterStrikeSharp (CSSharp). (Note: This step can be skipped if you install MatchZy with CSSharp release)
    • Go to this link: https://github.com/roflmuffin/CounterStrikeSharp/releases
    • Scroll down and download 'counterstrikesharp-with-runtime'. MatchZy needs CounterStrikeSharp v369 or newer (.NET 10 runtime); it will not load on older versions.
    • Extract the addons folder to the csgo/ directory of the dedicated server. The contents of your addons folder should contain both the counterstrikesharp folder and the metamod folder
    • Verify the installation by typing meta list on server console. You should see CounterStrikeSharp plugin by Roflmuffin
    • You can refer to https://docs.cssharp.dev/guides/getting-started for detailed instructions. Initially, it may seem a bit hectic, but trust me, it's worth it! :P
  • Install MatchZy
    • Download the latest MatchZy release and extract the files to the csgo/ directory of the dedicated server.
    • Verify the installation by typing css_plugins list and you should see MatchZy by WD- listed there.
    • The release also contains addons/counterstrikesharp/gamedata/matchzy.json, which practice mode needs to rethrow smokes, HE grenades, molotovs and decoys with the native game functions. Keep it up to date when updating MatchZy; after a CS2 update, a new version of this file can fix rethrows without a new plugin build.
    • cfg/MatchZy/admins.json, database.json, savednades.json and whitelist.cfg are not part of the release: MatchZy creates them when they are first needed, and extracting an update keeps your admins, database settings, saved lineups and whitelist. The .cfg files in cfg/MatchZy are replaced by an update, so keep a copy of any you have edited.

Note: If you want to use MatchZy on Windows server, you will need Windows build of counterstrikesharp which is available on its releases page
