How to add a resource

Accepted Answer

|| There is often some difference in the steps that you have to go through to add a certain resource. In this tutorial we will add the TakeHostage resource as an example. ||| Always read the installation instructions of the resource you are adding if provided by the creator!

Necessities:

TakeHostage resource

Create a folder on your desktop called: resources
Download the above file.
Drag the downloaded file into the resources folder on your desktop.
Extract the file via windows explorer or an extraction tool such as WinRAR.

Connect via FTP to manage your files.
Drag the ++TakeHostage++ folder to the resource folder of your server in the FTP window.
Open the server.cfg of your server.
Add the following in your server.cfg above ++#allow client mods such as Lamda Menu?++: start TakeHostage
Save the server.cfg file and don't forget to confirm this in Filezilla!
