Connection of the plugins in plugins.ini

As example we will use a mythical plugin metaPlugin. Installation of other plugins is similar.

• Create the plugins.ini file in the addons\metamodfolder (in case of absence of this file)
• Create a folder for the new plugin in the addons folder.For example, meta Plugin folder.
• • Put your plugin metaPlugin.dll (or meta Plugin.so) to the created folder addons\metamod\metaplugins.
• Open the plugins.ini file from the metamod folder with any text editor.
• • To connect the plugin metaPlugin.dll(or meta Plugin.so) write the following lines to the plugins file.ini:

For Windows versions of your server:

win32 addons\metaPlugin\metaPlugin.dll

For Linux versions of your server:

linux addons/metaPlugin/metaPlugin.so

• Save your file plugins.ini and launch the server.
• The installation is completed.

You can check plugin performance via meta list command in the server console .

in case of negative result, apply to Troubbleshouting.
