1. Install SourceMod and MetaMod Source
2. Download Influx and extract the zip contents in cstrike/csgo-directory.

Your directory structure should look like this:

csgo/cstrike \
              |addons \
              |        |metamod
              |        |sourcemod \
              |                    |bin
              |                    |configs
              |                    |data
              |                    |extentions
              |                    |gamedata
              |                    |...
              |bin
              |cfg \
              |     |influx
              |     |...
              |...

If you have problems, please see this section.

MySQL is OPTIONAL! SQLite is used by default and does not need any configuration!

In addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg-file add influx-mysql section.

"influx-mysql"
{
	"driver"	"mysql"
	"host"		"ipaddress"
	"database"	"dbnameyoucreated"
	"user"		"root"
	"pass"		""
	"port"		"3306"
}

Core plugin not loading and throwing errors might mean you've done this part wrong.

The latest supported MySQL version is 5.7.33. Newer versions like 8.x are incompatible due to an updated authentication schema.

To convert your already running SQLite database to MySQL:

1. Make sure you have sqlite3 installed! apt update;apt install sqlite3;sqlite3 --version;
2. Copy your current database from /addons/sourcemod/data/sqlite/influx-sqlite.sq3
3. Create sqlite-mysql.sh bash file and chmod +x sqlite-mysql.sh (this file will dump sqlite3 database and convert it to MySQL .sql dump
4. Add this to the newly created file:

   #!/bin/bash
   sqlite3 influx-sqlite.sq3 .dump > influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "BEGIN TRANSACTION" "START TRANSACTION" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "uid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY" "uid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;" "SET NAMES utf8mb4;" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "ON CONFLICT FAIL" "" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "usage VARCHAR(64)" "\`usage\` VARCHAR(64)" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "noauto VARCHAR(3)" "\`noauto\` VARCHAR(3)" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   replace "DEFAULT \`off\`" "DEFAULT 'off'" -- influx-dump.sqlite
   mv influx-dump.sqlite influx-database.sql
   mysql -u user -p database < influx-database.sql
   

5. Make sure to replace user and database in the last line to match the ones you've setup in /addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg
6. Now just run your script with ./sqlite-mysql.sh
7. It will dump sqlite3 database, replace some lines to match MySQL and then import the dump into your mysql database
8. It will ask you for the database password so be prepared to enter it (or you can replace -p database with -pYourPasswordHere database)

• You can find commands with the !help-command. (displays a menu)
• You can also find most admins commands in !admin -> Influx Commands
• By default all admin related commands require root flag (z). See section below on where to find these.

You can see and edit all cvars in configs contained in cfg/influx-directory. The default values may vary depending on the version downloaded.

Map needs to be changed for changes to take effect!

Edit zones with !zone-command. You need root flag (z) by default.
Remember to hit save!

Run meta and sm plugins list through the server console. If the commands don't respond, it means your installation of MetaMod/SourceMod is not working. Try using a dev-version of MetaMod and SourceMod (this is especially encountered on CS:GO).

If the following commands work and Influx still doesn't seem to load, sm plugins list will display what plugin failed to load.
Remember to also check your error log in addons/sourcemod/logs.

Just like the main run, you make them using Timer Start and Timer End zones. After the main run is created, a sub-menu will open when attemping to create one of these zones.

The zone bounds are weird / I have to jump early/late to prespeed!

The zone is like a normal map trigger. You need to leave it entirely to trigger it. You can edit the beams to display like you're used to by going into addons/sourcemod/configs/influx_beams.cfg and adding "offset" "-16"

How do I change prespeed settings?

You can go to cfg/influx/prespeed.cfg for further customization.
Use the command !prespeedsettings to change settings per run.

Make sure you have a mode and a style plugin loaded even if you do not care for custom modes/styles (use influx_mode_scroll and influx_style_normal for defaults).

Sv_airaccelerate-cvar is controlled by modes. This is what allows multiple modes (eg. autobhop and scroll) to be played on the same server. You can change the mode's air acceleration in cfg/influx/mode_*.cfg files.

Please visit the Influx Timer-discord for help. Best way to receive help, is to use the help-channel, ask the question in proper English and ping me. I do not wish to be added / DM'd regarding the timer. I hope you understand.
