# GOKZ Installation

This guide assumes that you have a working CS:GO server. You must have access to the server files i.e. the csgo folder. If you are setting up a local server follow this video guide (opens new window) up until the point where the server is set up. Once it comes to installing Sourcemod and Metamod only use the guide below as it is being kept up to date!

# Installing the Server Requirements

  1. Install Metamod:Source by following this guide (opens new window). Make sure you are downloading the latest stable build.
  • You can check if Metamod is working by typing meta version into the server console.
  1. Install SourceMod by following this guide (opens new window). Again, make sure you are downloading the latest stable build.
  • You can check if SourceMod is working by typing sm version into the server console.
  • If you are unfamiliar with SourceMod, refer to this page (opens new window) as it has plenty of useful information, and explains how to install plugins and extensions.
  1. Install the DHooks extension. You can get the latest builds from this forum thread (opens new window) Make sure to look for the BUILDS link at the bottom of the original post.
  • This involves copying a .so file (for Linux) or .dll file (for Windows) to /csgo/addons/sourcemod/extensions/.
  • You can't check if this is working until later.
  1. Install the MovementAPI plugin. You can get it from this page (opens new window) (look for "Plugin Installation").
  • Don't click "Clone or download". Read "Plugin Installation" on that page.
  • You can check if a plugin is working by typing sm plugins list into the server console and seeing it listed.

# Installing GOKZ

  1. Get the latest GOKZ release from the downloads page (opens new window).
  • Make sure to download GOKZ-latest package. Do not download the upgrade package for a fresh install.

  1. Copy all files from the release to the /csgo/ folder of your server.

  2. Open /csgo/addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg in a text editor. Add a new database configuration for GOKZ. If you are unsure, you can configure a SQLite database by copying in the below before the last } in databases.cfg.

Or simply add the following into your file above the last } at the very bottom.

"gokz"
{
    "driver"    "sqlite"  
    "database"  "gokz-sqlite"
}

You can check if GOKZ is working by typing sm plugins list into the server console and seeing it listed.

You can check if the DHooks extension is working correctly by typing sm exts list and seeing it listed.

At this point, the GOKZ plugin should be working.

You probably want to add yourself as root admin on your server. You can do that by adding your SteamID (opens new window) to /csgo/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini and giving yourself the Z flag.

  1. Install the Cleaner extension. You can get it from here. (opens new window)
  • This prevents your server console from being spammed by DatabaseTable warning messages.
  • NOTE: If you're using Linux, in addition to the above, follow these steps to get Cleaner working:
    • Remove /csgo/addons/sourcemod/extensions/cleaner.so.
    • Download cleaner.ext.2.csgo.so from here (opens new window) and drop it to /csgo/addons/sourcemod/extensions/.
  1. Install the Updater plugin. You can get it from this forum thread (opens new window). It will automatically install minor GOKZ updates.

  1. You might find other plugins that you deem useful here (opens new window).
