Overview

S2-Launcher loads Plugify into Source 2 games without Metamod, either as the Launcher or as the Runtime library.

S2-Launcher loads Plugify into a Source 2 game without Metamod:Source. The same project is built in two forms:

Form	File	How it works
Launcher	`game/bin/<platform>/s2launcher`	Replaces the game executable. It loads the engine and the game itself, with Plugify already inside. You start `s2launcher` with the arguments you would give `cs2`
Runtime	`game/csgo/bin/linuxsteamrt64/libserver_valve.so`	A library the game loads by itself on start. It starts Plugify and passes control to the game. You start `cs2` as usual. Linux only

Both forms give the same result: the plg and mamba console commands, and Plugify updated every server frame.

What it adds

Crash reports. With Sentry turned on in sentry.jsonc, crash dumps are sent to your Sentry project together with the console output and Plugify log messages, see Crash Detection.
Profiler. Start with --profiler to report the time of Plugify, its modules and plugins to the engine's VProf, see Profiling.
Log level. --verbosity=<level> sets how much Plugify writes to the console.
Client mode. The launcher also runs the game client, for testing plugins locally. The client must be started with -insecure.
