CS2 Change Level with Chat

Written in C# for Counter-Strike 2 using CounterStrikeSharp

Allows users to change the map and game mode with in-game chat.

• Game modes are just simple config files stored in csgo/cfg/ directory, those allow for a fast game_type change (e.g. aim_based.cfg -> smoke_training.cfg).
• This plugin isn't planned to be used on a public server, it's more for private servers where you want to play with friends that you trust.
• Can be toggled off with a command or in config by default.
• This plugin IS NOT a voting system and IT IS an instant map change. If you want a voting system instead, you can use cs2-rockthevote plugin.

Setup

• Make sure your server has CounterStrikeSharp and Metamod properly installed. You can find the instalation instructions here.
• Download the zip file from the latest release, and extract the contents into your csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins directory.
• Configuration file is located in csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/configs/plugins/ChangeLevelChat/ChangeLevelChat.json. You can change the maps and gamemodes avaivable there. It will be created and read on server boot or hot reload.

Tip

You can use the ds_workshop_listmaps command to list the maps that are currently available in the collection (to host a collection of maps, use +host_workshop_collection <collection_id>)
