This plugin was written to output information on Source-server (primarily Insurgency) that can be interpreted by the Skillbird-framework and in turn be queried as useful information to display back the players or use for team-balancing.

Setup

Install Insurgency Server

Install SteamCMD:

# first add non-free to sources list for Debian or multiverse for Ubuntu #
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lib32gcc1 steamcmd

Start CMD and install the Insurgency Server:

steamcmd
Steam> login anonymous
Steam> force_install_dir /path/to/installation
Steam> app_update 237410

Compile Plugin

Download and unpack Sourcemod, after unpacking, there should be two directories, addons and cfg. Execute build.sh with the addons dir as argument.

Download and unpack the extensions json and and move all files into the scriping/include/ directory. Download and upack the system2, follow the instructions there to install it.

./build.sh /path/to/addons/dir/

Add Sourcemod/Plugins to Insurgency Server

Download Metamod and unpack it, copy all contents of the unpacked source and metamod to the insurgency-directory in the base path of your installation (addons for both metamod and sourcemod and cfg for sourcemod only).

cp -r /path/to/downloaded/unpacked/tar/metamod/addons/   /path/to/installation/insurgency/
cp -r /path/to/downloaded/unpacked/tar/sourcemod/addons/ /path/to/installation/insurgency/
cp -r /path/to/downloaded/unpacked/tar/sourcemod/cfg/    /path/to/installation/insurgency/

Run Insurgency Server

The Insurgency Server has some path-related problems, therefore you need to explicitly add the paths to the installation. Also if you are using LD_PRELOAD, you should unset it, VAC doesn't like that.

unset LD_PRELOAD
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/installation/:/path/to/installation/bin/
/path/to/installation/srcds_linux

Install/Activate the skillbird-plugin

Finally copy the compiled plugin to sourcemod plugin addon directory within the Insurgency installation and reload.

cp gitdirectory/extensions/* /path/to/installation/insurgency/addons/sourcemod/extensions/
cp gitdirectory/*.smx /path/to/installation/insurgency/addons/sourcemod/scripting/compiled/

In the Server console (or via rcon). It is normal for the console to be laggy.

sm plugins refresh
sm plugins unload_all
sm plugins load TrueSkillLoggingMain
sm plugins load TrueSkillQueryMain

Data Output for skillbird

The output must be written to a file from which the skillbird-framework can read it. As a simple solution you can just write it to a file using a pipe:

./start_server.sh > output.log

Or if you still want to see the output as it is printed:

./start_server.sh | tee output.log

What I am personally doing is starting Insurgency with systemd and then:

journalctl -fu insurgency.service > output.log

Set sv_logflush to 1 in the server.cfg to write out the information in shorter intervals, the performance impact is negligible.

Why include sm-socket as binaries?

Because building Sourcemod extensions is annoying to do for the average user. I know it's not a perfect solution, but it's the best I could come up with. In compliance with the terms of the GPL (the license of Sourcemod), you may find the source code of those binaries here.
