Need Help With Metamod Plugin

I downloaded a little metamod plugin for NS I want to try out for fun. It's just a .dll file... but the readme doesn't say how to install it. It *IS* for Win32... so if someone can just smack me and say 'like this, stupid'... I'd appreciate it...

EDIT: <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Well the topic censor makes the topic look a lot dirtier... maybe it'll attract more views then <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    look up metamod and how to install the plugins.

    they can't be installed alone, they run "under" metamod. installing plugins is easy just as soon as metamod is setup.

    www.google.com, possibly www.planethalflife.com or other resources will have the answers for you.

    Make sure metamod is installed; it won't work without it. The .dll file should be placed in your ns/addons/metamod/plugins folder. You should add a line similar to the following to your ns/addons/metamod/plugins.ini file:<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->win32     addons/metamod/plugins/plugin_name.dll     Description here<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
    This should tell metamod to load the .dll; use the "meta list" command at the console to check if it worked. Out of curiosity, which plugin is it?

    I'm so confused....



    <a href='http://amxmod.net/amx-dl.php' target='_blank'>http://amxmod.net/amx-dl.php</a>


    What do I want and how do I install it? Their installation instructions are old, out of date, and really poorly written (If they even HAVE installation instructions, that is).

    I tried AMX mod and that didn't work <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    NOTE: I'm not TOO much of an idiot... so don't be scared to use big words like 'subdirectory' around me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Why not use the metamod forums instead of the NS forums?

    To install metamod:
    1) Get the latest version of metamod from www.metamod.org

    2) Create the following directories:
    ns/addons
    ns/addons/metamod
    ns/addons/metamod/dlls
    ns/addons/metamod/plugins

    3) Copy the metamod.dll file into the ns/addons/metamod/dlls directory.
    4) Create a text file called plugins.ini in the ns/addons/metamod directory.
    5) Open the file ns/liblist.gam in a text editor. Find the line that read
    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->gamedll "dlls/ns.dll"<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2--> and replace it with the following line:<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll"<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    This should install metamod properly. Plugins are installed by copying their DLL into the ns/addons/metamod/plugins directory and adding a line to the plugins.ini file. The format of this file is:<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->operating_system     plugin_dll     description<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
    operating_system should be win32 for a windows server or linux for a linux server. The plugin_dll should be the path to the plugin DLL, relative to the ns directory. The description can be whatever you like.

    Edit: For those who don't know: The chamber seeding plugin allows gorges to "spit" buildings onto walls and ceilings. It works quite well, but there are some major bugs with the first version; a fixed version is available for testing <a href='http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=86' target='_blank'>here</a>. There's also a screenshot if you want to see it in action.

    It worked! Yay! Thanks! The instructions were confusing as hell because they made it sound like I had to install all of metamod into NS... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    lol this wall building plugin is bad ****. I played with the 'broken' version 1 that removed chamber limits and built the biggest wall of lame you could imagine in Hera. It killed an HA marine instnatly <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I saw 1 guy who had it and the map was ns_commandmissile.
    Thats the really tall building one with the hive underground.
    He had gone gorge and built 2 sprial towers of OCS from the bottom of the hive to the top of the antenna. The building looked like a laggy double helix.
    As you can guess anyone who even looked over the side was killed in about .2 seconds. It was so laggy that you never even saw your self die. I have a screen shot somewhere.
