Server troubles

I'm having a lan with some friends in a week, and I made a server on my PC so we hopefully won't get lagged out by having 10 of us through one router into an already slow network. I've installed the dedicated server client, gotten configs etc. However, I want to run tournament mode and have SoapDM pre/post match, and I don't know how to execute the commands to turn on/off soapdm. I have soap installed, but I can't figure out the commands to enable and disable it. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried matchmod, but that just confused me further. I didn't get the basic commands used to operate it, and couldn't find a reasonable tutorial anywhere.

You don't really need to manually turn Soap DM on or off, it's smart enough to know when it should or shouldn't be turned on. Why do you need to manually control it?

To elaborate on what think said, SoapDM comes with two SourceMod plugins, soap_tf2dm and soap_tournament. The former is the actual DM plugin, while the latter handles the loading/unloading for tournament mode. As long as you have soap_tournament running, you shouldn't need to do anything manually.

If you really want to do it though:

sm plugins load soap_tf2dm
sm plugins load soap_tournament

sm plugins unload soap_tf2dm
sm plugins unload soap_tournament

You can even modify the soap_live.cfg and soap_notlive.cfg files to have soap_tournament load/unload other server plugins.

If you really want to do it though:

[code]sm plugins load soap_tf2dm
sm plugins load soap_tournament

sm plugins unload soap_tf2dm
sm plugins unload soap_tournament[/code]

When I turn on my server, soap isn't running. It's just normal tournament mode. How do I start soap running in the first place?

Where do I put these commands? In the server console returns "Unknown command "sm"

Thanks

HazSwagWhen I turn on my server, soap isn't running.

It should be.. Did you install SourceMod, Metamod, and SDK hooks as well? They are needed to run SoapDM.

I just reinstalled them in that order, then soapdm, without my server running. I started my server and it's the same, just normal tournament mode. Maybe it's my cfg? I'm using the UGC 6v6 standard cfg (was the first one I found).
