Plugins– an integral part of any Counter Strike 1.6 server. With their help, you can do things that are impossible to imagine in regular Contra. For example:
- turn on music at the end of the round;
- display various notifications;
- create a new HUD or text menu;
- identify administrators and VIP players among game participants;
- and much more…
However, many newbies, when it comes to the installation process, wonder how to install plugins in CS 1.6? The process is not particularly difficult, and you can complete the task in a couple of minutes.
Plugin device
Each plugin is an archive of one or more files that have the same name, but a different file format. If there is only one file in the archive, then it must have the extension .amxx. Without it, the plugin will not work.Most often, the archive contains several files with different formats:
- .amxx – cannot be changed, there will be hieroglyphs when opened;
- .sma – required for editing. Through it you can change the file with the extension .amxx;
- .cfg – needed for thorough setup of the plugin, as well as its configuration. May have a .ini extension;
- .txt – is responsible for the language “framing” or for any other settings;
- .spr – contains sprites (2D images);
- .wav – sound document;
- .mdl – models of players and objects;
- .wad – textures.
Instructions for installing plugins in CS
To install the plugin on KS 1.6, you need to unzip the downloaded archive. The filling must be moved to the server folder in the following path:- ... /addons/amxmodx/plugins – copy the file with the extension .amxx here;
- ... /addons/amxmodx/scripting – file with .sma format;
- ... /addons/amxmodx/config - .cfg;
- ... /addons/amxmodx/data/lang - .txt.
If there is no folder in the specified path addons, you need to download the Amxmod program. For the plugin to work, you need to add it to your server. To do this you need to open the file plugins.ini(located at the following path: cstrike/addons/amxmodx/config/plugins.ini) any text editor. A regular notepad will do.
Already have built-in effects and various tools. However, their number is quite limited and does not allow you to use all the capabilities of the program. Therefore, there are third-party plugins for every taste, most of which you can buy on the official website of the developers.
This also applies to the well-known FL Studio, for which many different plugins have been made. Let's look at where to find and how to install additional software for FL Studio.
The bulk of add-ons are developed using VST (Virtual Studio Technology) technology, and that’s what they are actually called – VST plugins. There are two types of them - Instruments and Effects. Thanks to tools, you can generate sounds using various methods, and thanks to effects, you can process those same generated sounds. In this article we will look at the principle of installing one of these VSTs.
Search for software
First of all, you need to find the software that is suitable for you, which you will install in FL Studio. It is best to use the official website, where there is a special section dedicated to purchasing plugins.
You simply find the software you need, buy and download, after which you can proceed to setting up the program before installing the add-on.
Pre-configuring FL Studio
All plugins must be installed in a predefined folder in which all installed software will be located. Before defining such a folder, please note that some additional software takes up a lot of space and the system partition of the hard drive or SSD drive is not always suitable for installing it. The developers have taken care of this, so you can choose the place where you will install all the add-ons. Let's move on to selecting this folder:
After selecting a folder, you can proceed to installation.
Installing the plugin
After downloading, you have an archive or folder where the .exe file with the installer is located. Launch it and proceed to installation. This process is almost identical with all add-ons; in this article, installation will be discussed using the example of DCAMDynamics.
Let's move on to the next step.
Adding a plugin
Now you need the program to find the new add-ons that you just installed. To do this you need to update. Just go to "Options" – "General settings" and select a tab "File", where you need to click "Refresh plugin list".
The list has been updated, and you can find in it the software that was just installed. To do this, in the menu on the left, click on the fork-shaped sign to go to the section "Plugin database". Expand the list "Installed" to find your plugin. You can search for it by name or by the color of the inscription. Most often, after scanning, the newly discovered VSTs will be highlighted in yellow.
When you are sure that the installation was completed correctly, you need to display the plugin in a special list in order to quickly access it. To do this, follow simple steps:
Now when you add new plugins in the list, you can see the one you just placed there. This will greatly simplify and speed up the adding process.
This completes the installation and adding process. You can use the just downloaded software for your own purposes. Pay special attention to the sorting of plugins, because it happens that there are more and more of them and such distribution into sections helps not to get confused when working.
Installing plugins in WordPress is done in three different ways - automatically through the plugin search interface in the official WordPress directory; manually, by downloading a ZIP archive from your computer to the site and then activating it; or by uploading the contents of the archive to FTP of your hosting.
Let's look at all three options and learn how to install plugins in any situation! 😉
Attention!
Avoid a situation where you have many installed but not activated plugins. Any additional plugin is, first of all, an additional load on your site, and secondly, a potential hole in the security of the site. Remove plugins if you don't use them!
Automatic installation of the plugin will be needed in almost all cases when the required plugin is available on the official WordPress website (I covered the search in the instructions).
The installation itself comes down to a simple set of actions:
- Finding the required plugin using keywords
- Installing the selected plugin
- Activation and further configuration
The search for plugins is carried out in the “Plugins” - “Add new” interface. When you go to the add plugins interface, the most popular and recommended plugins will be displayed.
In the right area of the screen, use the search for the plugin name. For example, I will try to find and install the Limit Login Attempts plugin, which blocks attempts to guess passwords in the WordPress admin area.
There will be several plugins of the same type to choose from, and you will need to decide on the one that suits your needs. I have always used the one on the top left, it has over a million installations and the plugin is time-tested. The plugin works with the latest version of WordPress and is not updated for a simple reason - there is nothing to update, it just works and that’s it.
Attention!
I would still recommend installing plugins that are exactly compatible with the latest versions of WordPress to avoid problems with future updates. I myself only put what I’ve checked on dozens of sites and can afford to deviate from the rules, but I don’t recommend you do this :)
Once you have decided on the plugin you need, all you have to do is click on the “Install” button in the plugin card and the archive with the plugin will automatically download to your hosting or server. WordPress will independently extract the contents of the plugin from the archive and install it where needed.
Now you need to activate the plugin for it to start working on your site. If you do not do this, then the plugin settings item will not appear in the WordPress menu. Use the activation link and start exploring! 🙂
In general, this completes the installation of the plugin. As you may have noticed, everything is as simple as one-two-three, absolutely no additional knowledge (except for the difficulty of finding the plugin you need) is required.
How to Install a Plugin on WordPress Manually by Downloading a ZIP Archive
The second method will be useful to you when you purchased the plugin from one of the popular and trusted online stores (I recommend CodeCanyon.net) or downloaded it from the developer’s website.
Let me remind you, just in case, to save you from problems: never trust those who offer you hacked versions of paid plugins, this will only bring you problems and no pleasure from use!
So, after purchasing the plugin, you will most likely have a ZIP archive, which you do not need to additionally unpack or perform any manipulations with it. It all comes down to loading it through the same plugin management interface in WordPress.
Go to the “Plugins” section - “Add new” and click on the “Load plugin” button:
Select the archive on your computer and click on the “Install” button:
The archive will be uploaded to your hosting and after that all that remains is to activate it. After this, you can start setting up your plugin. It's simple! 🙂
There may be a situation where your plugin is located in a nested archive. That is, you have a ZIP archive that will contain some documentation, and the plugin itself is located inside this archive. In this case, you may receive an error like this when loading:
If you see this message, then you need to extract the archive and find in it a ZIP archive whose name matches the name of your plugin (to check, you can extract it additionally; it should contain files with the .PHP extension with the name of your plugin).
After that, try downloading this attached ZIP archive (not the PHP files themselves) and there should be no installation problems.
Installing the plugin by uploading to your hosting FTP
Finally, let’s look at the least preferred method of installing a plugin, which can be useful if your WordPress is configured in such a way as to prohibit loading plugins through the admin panel (I will discuss fixing this situation in another instruction).
FTP is a way to access your website files via special program, installed on your computer or through the file control panel on your hosting (many places provide this option, look at the options offered on the hosting).
To work with FTP, I use (and recommend to everyone) the FileZilla program. This is a free client that is available for all popular operating systems. There will also be separate instructions for it, but for now I’ll just give a step-by-step algorithm that will allow you to install the plugin.
The program interface is Russian-language, so there won’t be any special problems understanding it. This is what it looks like appearance programs after connecting to the hosting, but with English language(I use English, so don't be alarmed):
You will need to enter your details to connect to the hosting. You can clarify them in the hosting control panel in the FTP section, and very often this data is sent to you immediately after purchase tariff plan or website hosting.
The left panel shows the files on your computer:
And in the panel on the right is what is on your hosting:
You need to find the directory www, public_html or the name of your site. The presence of the wp-config.php file, which is always located in the “root” of your site, will help you determine the correct directory.
After that, double-click on the wp-content directory, then on plugins and we can see the already installed plugins on your site.
Then everything is simple: on your computer, extract the files of your plugin from a ZIP archive so that they are located in the directory with the name of the plugin. For example, for the Social Media Popup plugin with an archive called social-media-popup.zip, the folder will be called social-media-popup and there will be files with the PHP extension inside it.
After that, drag the entire folder into the right panel or right-click on it and select “Upload” (for the Russian version of the FileZilla program) or “Upload” (for the English version):
Attention!
It is the directory with PHP files that needs to be loaded, and not the ZIP archive, as many may think. If you upload an archive, WordPress will not see it and installing the plugin will not work.
After downloading the plugin directory, it will appear in the “Plugins” section of the admin panel of your site. Now you just need to activate the plugin and start working with it. 🙂
Using a file manager on hosting
If you don't want to install FileZilla on your computer, there is an equally simple way to upload the archive with the plugin to your website. To do this, you should use the file manager of your hosting (I use Beget.ru, there is a review in).
I will look at everything using Beget hosting as an example; in your case, the appearance of the file manager, directory structure and available actions on files and archives may differ from those presented in the instructions.
After logging into the hosting panel, find the File Manager item:
Your hosting file management interface will open in a new window. Both panels will show your home directory:
In any of the panels, go to the name of your site, then go to www or public_html, then by analogy with the previous paragraph: wp-content, and then to plugins. You will see directories with already installed plugins:
Find the file upload button in the toolbar:
Select the ZIP archive (this is important!) to download from your computer:
The file will download and you will see it on the screen:
After this, you will need to select the downloaded archive in the panel where you downloaded your archive, right-click and select “Unpack archive”:
Your plugin will be installed in WordPress and all you have to do is activate it in the “Plugins” section of your site’s admin panel. That's all! 🙂
Conclusion
So we have looked at all the possible ways to install the plugin on your website. Which option to choose is up to you. I personally prefer to first look for plugins on the official WordPress website, but if for some reason the installation fails, then I download the ZIP archive.
I hope this instruction was useful to you and you will share the link to it in in social networks for your friends and acquaintances. See you again! 😉
If you find an error, select a piece of text and click Ctrl+Enter.

And one of the most significant functions of this editor is the ability to independently expand the system parameters. Today we will consider the following question: “How to install a plugin in Photoshop?”
Reference
Before proceeding with the direct instructions, let's look at the definitions. Have you ever dealt with plugins? If yes, then you can skip this paragraph. A plugin is a special module that allows you to expand the standard functionality of the program. That is, in this case it connects to the editor and adds new features. In Photoshop, plugins are most often referred to as filters. Photoshop installed from scratch has an insufficient set of tools. But perhaps a standard set of filters is enough for some users. In any case, it will be useful to learn about Photoshop so that this question does not confuse you in the future.
Instructions
First of all, you need to download the plugins to your computer. Thousands of different filters are now freely available on the Internet. You can download them from any portal. Once the plugin is on your computer, you need to copy it to the desired directory. If you have changed the default location of Photoshop control files, the address may be different.
- Copying the plugin to To do this, right-click on it and find the “copy” item. Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C.
- We are looking for the program's control folder. Go to “My Computer”, open “local disk”, look for the “Program Files” folder. So we get to the place where most of “Photoshop” is located, should be in the “Adobe” folder, where we need to go to “Adobe Photoshop CS” (there will be a number indicating the version of your editor). We go to “Plugins”, where we find “Filters”. It is in this folder that all filters are located.
- Right-click on a free area of the window and select “paste”. Or use the key combination Ctrl + V.
additional information
Photoshop filters have the file extension ".8BF". In some operating systems additional confirmation of the transaction will be required. To check the functionality of the filters, you need to open the program and select the “filters” tab in the top panel. Custom additions always appear at the end of the list. If you have the version of "Photoshop CS6" installed, then the plugin address will be like this: "Adobe-Adobe Photoshop CS6-Required-Plug-Ins-Filters". In some cases, the location of the filters may vary depending on the operating system.
Conclusion
Question: “How to install a plugin in Photoshop?” - is often asked on various forums and sites. Therefore, it is sometimes taken out separately and stored as a note for beginners. I hope you do not need it, and you understood from this article how to install the plugin in Photoshop. If you thought that the information provided was not enough , then use additional sources. For example, watch video tutorials that are freely available.
WordPress developers didn't just create good program, but also provided in advance the opportunity to make additions to it, taking into account the individual needs of each user. For this you just need install wordpress plugin. First, you need to define the concept of a WordPress plugin as such.
So, the WordPress plugin is an addition to the main program, when installed wordpress plugin new ones become available to the blog functionality. Technically, a WordPress plugin is a set of files with a php extension containing program code, which in turn adds new functionality.
There are practically no problems that are unsolvable for WordPress plugins. With their help, a questionnaire, a photo gallery can appear on the site, or your blog can be turned into an electronic store with the ability to order goods online. The capabilities of WordPress plugins are quite extensive, from solving simple and basic problems to complex integrated solutions (forums, online commerce modules, etc.)
There are a huge number of WordPress plugins, so the developers left the choice of installation additional features site users. The official website states that there are more plugins for WordPress 16,728 varieties.
It is clear that the need for additional functions directly depends on the specifics of the site. And what is good for one site is not necessary for another. A large number of installed plugins slows down the site significantly, thereby increasing loading time. And who will wait for the site to fully load if you have installed 16,728 plugins in WordPress :)
From all of the above it is clear that for quality work For a website, you shouldn’t install many plugins on it; it’s enough to choose no more than 20 of the most necessary and proven ones.
Installation WordPress plugin is identical to installing a WordPress theme, i.e. Installation is possible via the WordPress console and via the FPT client.
For a more visual example, you can use the installation of a plugin designed to translate Cyrillic article titles on WordPress into URLs using transliteration.
Choosing me Options→ Permalinks option /%postname%/, link to article called " Hello World " will look like https://www...com/ Hello world/. Is this option not good for SEO? because the URL has a Cyrillic part, which does not make it possible to send a link to this article. This will appear as a link like this:
Method 1
Installing the WordPress Cyr-To-Lat Plugin will automatically change the link to https://www...com/ privet-mir/, i.e. on ).
Install Cyr-To-Lat plugin possible in several ways:
