If I know nothing about source modding at all, where do I begin to learn exactly how to install and use this?

What are the steps to getting this up and running?

Hello, Sorry for the late response.

The easiest way to use these would be to use the auto installer from Syndsinstall27015.bat here: https://github.com/Balimbanana/SourceScripts/blob/master/Batch/Syndsinstall27015.renametodotbat Download that and rename it to end in .bat then place the script where you want to install your Synergy server and run it. It will prompt you through the whole process of installing/configuring Synergy and SourceMod. Then you will be able to install plugins either by the first prompt ISM or by opening your plugins directory under steamapps\common\Synergy\synergy\addons\sourcemod\plugins

If you want to manually install Synergy dedicated server and SourceMod, there are a few steps involved. First you will need the Synergy server itself, you would need to download SteamCMD, log in using your account, install Synergy using app_update 17520 validate then you would need to either copy or link HL2 to the servers install. Then you can install SourceMod. Download SourceMod from: https://www.sourcemod.net/downloads.php?branch=stable Extract to your Synergy server SteamCMDlocation\steamapps\common\Synergy\synergy Then download MetaMod from: https://www.sourcemm.net/downloads.php/?branch=master and extract it to SteamCMDlocation\steamapps\common\Synergy\synergy Then you will be able to download plugins to: SteamCMDlocation\steamapps\common\Synergy\synergy\addons\sourcemod\plugins I usually also download SteamWorks, as it is used by some plugins and is helpful in some situations. https://users.alliedmods.net/~kyles/builds/SteamWorks/ It can also be extracted to: SteamCMDlocation\steamapps\common\Synergy\synergy If you would like plugins to be able to update themselves, you should also get the updater plugin: https://bitbucket.org/GoD_Tony/updater/downloads/updater.smx

All of these steps are automated in the Syndsinstall script if you don't want to do the manual work. There is also a linux version at SourceScripts/unix/syndsinstall.sh at the same repo.
