Updating

The plugin tells you when you are behind: with EnableUpdateCheck on (the default) it compares its version with the fork’s main branch on start and logs Plugin is outdated! Check https://github.com/mrc4tt/CS2-SimpleAdmin/releases.

Steps

1. Read What’s new for the releases since yours.
2. On SQLite, run css_sqlbackup first. On MySQL, take a mysqldump.
3. Stop the server, or be ready to restart it.
4. Download CS2-SimpleAdmin-1.9.7.zip and extract it into game/csgo/addons/ over the old files, the same way as the first install. The zip has no configs/ folder, so your settings are not touched.
5. Start the server.

What happens to your files

• Database: new migrations run on the first start and are recorded in sa_migrations. They are embedded in the DLL too, so even a DLL-only update applies them.
• CS2-SimpleAdmin.json: your values are kept. If the config layout version changed, the plugin writes the new ConfigVersion into the file. New options are not added to the file; they use their default until you add them. Config options lists every option with its default, and its default file shows the full current layout.
• Commands.json: new commands are added automatically with their default name, and a line Adding new command ... to Commands.json is logged. Your own aliases stay.
• CS2MenuManager: the zip carries the menu library version it was built with; extracting it updates that too.
