like Kript said,


"advertisements.txt" goes in: addons/sourcemod/configs
"advertisements.smx" goes in: addons/sourcemod/plugins

and add this to your server.cfg:

sm_advertisements_enabled 1
sm_advertisements_file "advertisements.txt"
sm_advertisements_interval 300

(dont forget to edit advertisements.txt to your wants)

explanation:

sm_advertisements_enabled (0/1, def 1)
Enable/disable displaying advertisements.

sm_advertisements_file (def "advertisements.txt")
File to read the advertisements from. Useful if you're running multiple servers from one installation, and want to use different advertisements per server.

sm_advertisements_interval (def 30)
Amount of seconds between advertisements.
