.: HostiTron Installation
First download and install MetaMod:Source as per the instructions on their website !

Once you get MetaMod 1.2.1 installed and working correctly, continue by extracting the HostiTron zip contents to cstrike folder.
You should have the following...

/cstrike/cfg/hostitron/hosti.cfg
/cstrike/addons/hostitron/CVar List.txt
/cstrike/addons/hostitron/ReadMe.htm
/cstrike/addons/hostitron/Changelog.txt
/cstrike/addons/hostitron/bin/hostitron_mm_i486.so
/cstrike/addons/hostitron/bin/hostitron_mm.dll
/cstrike/cfg/hostitron/config.cfg
/cstrike/cfg/hostitron/cs_militia.cfg
/cstrike/cfg/hostitron/hostitron.cfg

Now add the following line to your addons/metamod/metaplugins.ini file.
addons/hostitron/bin/hostitron_mm

Your ready to go, just change level on the server or 'meta refresh' in console.
If no error is output, then you should see the following if you enter the command 'meta list'.

-Id- Name Version Author Status
[01] HostiTron v2.1.0 B c0ldfyr3 RUN

The version doesnt matter, as long as it says RUN your ok.
If it says "NOFILE", then the path in metaplugins.ini is wrong.
If it says "FAIL", contact me with the details.

Once the HostiTron is up and running, you can safely add model packs.
