People have come to us with plugins from the Sourcemod forum and then expect us to immediately try it as though it is as easy as saving a file. Every time we install a plugin, it could have any of these problems.
  • Crash
  • Lag
  • Security Leak (like enabling sv_cheats)
These problems don't occur instantly and could even take several months before triggering an issue.
  • Many plugins are poorly written by kids with very little experience.
  • Plugins may start crashing many patches later and we have to figure out which of the 50+ plugins is causing it. When the server crashes, it doesn't tell you which plugin caused it.
  • Plugins may crash when combined with other plugins we have installed.
Examples of plugins that we had to remove.
  • Model manager
  • High Five
  • TF2ware
