Not sure in which forum this belongs, I'll try here for now. Hi there, as I've been in the process of making a map for the better part of a year now (I get distracted easily, and I'm a lazy cunt) I realized that the most common question that comes in to new mappers' minds is: "How do I test this map with KZ settings?". The most common answer seems to be to download a config for KZ settings and some other config for teleporting and saving and some other jazz that I couldn't be bothered with. It just didn't cut it for me so I did some digging on how to get KZTimer to run on a listen server. Turns out it's not that much different from installing the plugin for a dedicated server, actually it's exactly the same, you just have to run the game in "insecure" mode for Metamod to load. Download Metamod from Metamod:Source - Download mmsource-1.10.6-windows.zip and extract it into your csgo folder at ..\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo Make a new .vdf file Metamod:Source - Make a VDF File and place it in your addons folder. Download Sourcemod from SourceMod: Half-Life 2 Scripting extract the addons to addons and cfg to cfg. Grab KZTimer from 1NutWunDeR/KZTimerOffical · GitHub, same deal with the files. Edit the file addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg and add an entry along the lines of "kztimer" { "driver" "sqlite" //mysql also supported "host" - Pastebin.com. Add your steamId to the Mappers in ..steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\addons\sourcemod\configs\kztimer\mapmakers.txt We should be all set addon wise, let's move on to hammer. Open the KZ map you're working on. Press F9 to run the map and edit the Additional game parameters. Add the parameters Code: -insecure -tickrate 128 -windowed Click OK, run your map with KZTimer installed. I honestly have no idea where it saves the stats like LJ records etc. (since I don't have a DB running) but it does. Want to run a private server to grind a specific map? After installing the plugins just go to your csgo folder, make a desktop shortcut of the csgo.exe, right click the shortcut > Properties. Edit the Target field and add -tickrate 128 after the ending quotes (add everything you have in your launch options to be honest). Since you aren't starting the game through Steam when you launch it via a desktop shortcut it will automatically start in insecure mode. Subscribe to your favorite kz maps in the workshop and load them up, KZTimer will automatically run on any map with a "kz_" prefix. If you've already played the map on a server and it's downloaded all you have to do is type "map kz_mapname" into your console. Note: Loading maps other than those with a "kz_" prefix while in insecure mode ended up with me not being able to move, or do anything really. Probably fixable if I bothered to read the documentation for SM, MM and KZTimer but I haven't, but you can easily disable the plugins by altering the name of the addon folder in your csgo folder if you want to do something else than KZ while in insecure mode. Maybe someone will find this useful.
This is actually incredibly useful, thanks a lot. Probably obvious, but I'm assuming the same thing applies to any mod?
I'm going to say probably. It's likely that having multiple plugins (surf, kz and bhop for example) installed at the same time might clash so I recommend reading up on Sourcemod and Metamod documentation. I've never tried it, if you happen to try it please share the results
I can't think of any others I'd even use besides KZ, was just asking out of curiosity really, but if I ever do try it I'll let you know
Nice guide. FYI, if you look in the /csgo/cfg/sourcemod/kztimer/map_types/ folder, there's settings for each map prefix (kz_, surf_, cs_, etc), that determine how KZTimer behaves for those maps.
Hey, i tried to run the kz plugin local, did everything you sayed i should do, but unfortunately it is not running here is all my console gets out when i load any kz map. I just spawn there with 1 bot and the kz plugin is not running (!menu or anything not working) ] map kz_aztec ---- Host_NewGame ---- env_cubemap used on world geometry without rebuilding map. . ignoring: de_aztec/road01 ####################################### Map kz_aztec missing stringtable dictionary, don't ship this way!!!
