Not to be confused with sourcemods (the Steam folder).

SourceMod is a server modification that gives server admins a much more powerful platform for scripting and administration. While mostly used for multiplayer games, it can be installed on any Source engine game. Many well-known server plugins are powered by it, such as Roll The Dice (RTD).

It has a lower-level system that needs to run alongside it, called MetaMod: Source.

A newer version of MetaMod: Source (2.0) is currently in development, which will add support for Source 2-based games (Counter-Strike 2, Deadlock and Dota 2), however SourceMod has yet to be ported to Source 2.
