Built-in Solutions
While plugins offer extensive customization, some common server enhancements can be achieved through alternative methods or in-game features.
Practice Mode Alternative
Instead of a plugin, you can utilize specific server commands and configurations to set up a dedicated practice mode for utility throwing, aiming, and more.
This usually involves setting sv_cheats 1, giving money, and enabling infinite grenades. CloudNord may offer pre-configured options or guides for this.
Pug Setup / Scrim Alternative
For competitive pug (pick-up game) or scrim setups, you can often achieve this with specific server configurations and custom server.cfg files.
Some communities also use external matchmaking systems that integrate with the server.
Get5 / Tournament Organizers
For more advanced tournament and match management like Get5, the CS2 Match API is the official solution provided by Valve.
This API allows external platforms to control and manage competitive matches on your server, including map vetoes, live score tracking, and automated config loading.
