GameModeManager simplifies server administration for Counter-Strike 2 by providing:

• Admin menus for modes, maps, and settings.
• Customizable rotation of maps and game modes.
• Player voting for maps, settings, and game modes.
• Shared API for cross-plugin development and integration.

Getting Started

Important

If this is your first time setting up a modded server, I highly suggest checking out the CS2-Modded-Server Repo by Kus. It's a great resource for understanding how to set up custom game modes, which aren't included with this plugin. Additionally, it includes a preconfigured version of this plugin for beginners.

To get started, make sure all of the following prerequisites are met:

• All of your mode config files are located in /csgo/cfg/.
• Both Metamode:Source and CounterStrikeSharp are installed.
• Your gamemodes_server.txt or custom map group file is in VDF Format and contains a list of map groups.

Installation

1. Download the Latest Release.
2. Copy the addons and cfg folders to /csgo/.
3. Update each game mode configuration file (i.e. comp.cfg) to include css_gamemode <mode>.
4. After the first run, update the configuration file GameModeManager.json.

For more information about the configuration of this plugin and the use of the Shared API, see our Wiki.
