This is a simple web API and Sourcemod plugin for CS:GO meant to allow a server to follow a given league's current map (or its MOTW, map of the week).

The web service already runs at http://csgo-motw.appspot.com, but you can run a version it yourself, if desired. Data is served from data.json, and pull requests to update it are accepted.

To install, you will need the SteamWorks extension installed, which is available on both Linux and Windows and are easily installable.

After that, visit the releases section and download the release package. Extract the files into the gamesever. Only the plugin binary (addons/sourcemod/plugins/csgo_motw.smx) is actually required.

You may also download the latest development build if you wish. If you report any bugs from these, make sure to include the build number (when typing sm plugins list into the server console, the build number will be displayed with the plugin version).

Once the server starts up, a config file will be autogenerated in cfg/sourcemod/csgo_motw.cfg. You can edit the plugin cvars in this file.

One of these cvars is sm_csgo_motw_always_force_motw (default 1), which determines if the plugin will always force the map to the MOTW, or just use the MOTW as the default server map when the server becomes empty.

For example, using sm_csgo_motw_always_force_motw 1 is good for a server that is 24/7 on the current MOTW, and sm_csgo_motw_always_force_motw 0 is good for a private server a team uses to practice.

Most of the other cvars determine the GET request parameters sent to the webserver that determine how the MOTW is determined. Read the section on the web server to find out more about these parameters.

Plugin developers can use the plugin API too.

The webservice runs via webapp2 from the Google App Engine SDK, and is meant to run on Google App Engine.

See api.md for URL parameters to the service. Raw data in JSON form is available at the /data url.
