With compatible servers, you should see options to install both of these on the "Easy setup" tab in your control panel.

Well, under easy setup, theres basic server settings, source TV settings, Map Cycle. Is there a way i can get a compatible server? My Server Adress is: meetyourmaker.nuclearfallout.net:27015

What he means by compatible servers is if they are HL1 based or not. Adminmod or amxmodx only work for HL1 based games. Since your server is Source based, you need to look into http://www.beetlesmod.com or http://www.mani-admin-plugin.com for an admin plugin. Both of them have documentation on how to install it on their site, but if you have trouble, please visit us on live chat.

Uhh, The admin plugins require me to copy and paste or extract large files (more than the uploading maximum) to specific directories on the server. How do i go about doing this? (the documentation requires me to have a drive C:\ and such.)

That is if you were installing it locally. You need to be installing it through the FTP. The FTP info and link (for Internet Explorer) is available on that same page. FTP is used to transfer any files you need to the gameserver.

Ok, so i managed to get some files onto my server FTP, at first the server was showing, but now its not, i realised i accidently put a file called Addons, in the route. after trying to delete it i get an error stating it cant be deleted, the server somehow came back on, but im wondering if the problem will persist in the future, since the flie is still there? also, thanks for all the help so far!

It is required to have that addons folder for the plugin to run. The main file is located inside that folder and that file can only be deleted when its not in use. That is why you could not delete it.

As for the brief downage, our repair was ran automatically and fixed your autoexec.cfg for your starting map. The mani installation replaced it and left it without a starting map. You should not have an issue related to that again as long as it is not replaced or left without a starting map.

now to learn how to set admin....

Please refer to this page to add admins. The same text can be found within the adminlist.txt as well to help you add admins with various access levels. You can use the file manager to edit cfg/mani_admin_plugin/adminlist.txt. For full access, just add your steamid at the bottom, not behind any "//" and then restart the server. It must be the full steamid, ie STEAM_0:X:XXXXXXX

// Example
//
// STEAM_0:1:877489;231.192.67.5 rp // Admin can't rcon and play sound !!
//
// IMPORTANT NOTES !!!!
//
// If you only use an IP Address, the character ';' MUST be directly in
// front of it.
//
// There must be a space between the steam ID/IP Address and restriction flags
// or the plug-in will assume that it is part of the Steam ID/IP Address
//
// Another alternative to using a steam id is a name and password
//
// The format of this is ;;"name";password flags
//
// For example I would use
//
// ;;"Mani";maniadminplugin rp // Admin can't rcon or playsound
//
// In order to use the password, put
//
// setinfo _password mypassword
//
// in your config.cfg file in your client installation.
//
//
STEAM_0:0:3863292

i put my steam on the very bottom, without the // and i still get a not an admin error.

You have to restart the server after you do that, then it should work assuming that the steamid is correct. Sometimes people think they have it all but they left a number out at the end.

Please come to live chat so we can personally look at your server, its rather difficult to see what is the problem on the forums.
