iScrim Installation Instructions

Before installing this plugin, please make sure your server is stopped and not running. Also, make yourself aware of what kind of server you have, Windows or Linux. You can find this out by looking at your server in HLSW or asking your server provider.

1. Download the latest Mattie Eventscripts v2 from http://mattie.net/cs/ Note. There is a Windows and Linux package, only download the one that applies to your server.

2. Extract the contents of the eventscripts zip anywhere you’d like, you should have 2 folders, addons and cfg, delete cfg as we won’t be using anything in there.

3. Extract iScrim.zip anywhere you’d like, you should have 2 folders, addons and Linux libs; merge the addons folder of the iscrim zip with the addons folder of eventscripts zip from step 1 (saying yes to overwriting) so that you only have one addons folder.

4. Go into your merged addons\eventscripts\iscrim folder from step 3 and open iscrim.cfg and toss in all of your settings.

5. Access your server (Most likely via FTP)

6. This step is for Linux servers only, before navigating to your cstrike folder, upload the contents of the iscrim Linux libs folder into the /orangebox/bin folder on your server.

7. Now navigate to your /orangebox/cstrike folder and upload the merged addons folder you made in step 3. Note you may already have an addons folder for zblock, this is alright, still upload it. You should now have a \orangebox\cstrike\addons folder.

8. This step is for Windows servers only, upload zip.cfg from the iScrim zip to the \orangebox\cstrike folder on your server.

9. Upload autoexec.cfg from the iscrim zip to the \orangebox\cstrike\cfg\ folder on your server. If you already have an autoexec.cfg then open it up and add the following line at the very top then upload it.

es_load iscrim

10. Edit your lo3.cfg to contain the following line at the very top then upload it.

scrim_mode 1

11. Edit your pregame.cfg to contain the following line at the very top then upload it.

scrim_mode 0

12. You can now go and start your server back up, if all went well iScrim should now be active and you should be able to use the console command menusup to access the ingame menu. 

Side Notes:
•If using a config such as CEVO's where you must exec 2 configs for lo3, ie cevo.cfg and lo3.cfg, add the line "exec cevo.cfg" to your lo3.cfg under scrim_mode 1.
•Moving demos with the Menu will cause the server to lag for a few seconds depending on how good the server specs are.
•If Demopress is enabled in the config you must ensure you used the correct FTP settings or else it can cause the server to crash.
•Using Demopress will make map changes a second or 2 longer as its ziping and sending any previous demos at that time.
•Disabling for matches: upload a second install of zBlock into another folder in cstrike and name it something like addoffs. When match time comes, login via ftp and rename addons to something random like addons1 and rename addoffs to addons then restart the server. Reverse the folder names and restart the server to turn it back on.
