# S2-Launcher: Server Side Modding Framework for Source 2
It is a cutting-edge server-side modding framework designed specifically for Counter-Strike 2 servers. This project takes modding to the next level by implementing a Plugify Plugin & Package Manager on top of a Metamod Source Plugin. This unique approach allows developers to create plugins that seamlessly interact with the game server, using Plugify language modules to enable the creation of maintainable and testable code.

## Getting Started
1. **Installation:**
- Download the latest build from [here](https://github.com/untrustedmodders/plugify-source2-launcher/releases/).
- `plugify-source2-launcher` — standalone executable (launcher mode)
- `plugify-source2-runtime` — shared library loaded automatically by CS2 (autoload mode)
- Detailed installation instructions can be found in the [Installation Guide](https://plugify.net/use-cases/standalone-launcher/installation).
2. **Usage:**
- Explore the [Usage Guide](https://plugify.net/essentials/installation) for detailed instructions on creating server-side mods, installing language modules, and maximizing the potential of Plugify.
3. **Examples:**
- Check out the [Examples](https://plugify.net/plugins/s2sdk/guides/) directory for samples and use cases to kickstart your modding journey with Plugify.
## Loading Modes
S2-Launcher supports two ways to load Plugify into your CS2 server:
1. **Executable (Launcher mode):**
Run `s2launcher` as a standalone executable alongside your server process. Gives you full control over the launch lifecycle.
2. **Shared Library (Autoload mode):**
Place `libserver_valve.so` (Linux) into your CS2 game folder and the engine will load Plugify automatically on server startup — no separate process needed.
> **When to use which?**
> Use autoload if you want zero-friction deployment with no extra process to manage. Use the launcher if you need to control startup order or run outside of a CS2 server context.
