FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

This is a compilation of information on particularly frequently asked questions and frequently occurring problems


When will you fix bug XYZ? / When do you think MyStore is going stable?

I can't answer these questions. Even if I could, I wouldn't do it. I do this in my spare time. Nobody pays me. I don't even run my own cs:go server!?! I code for fun and the belief to help the community by creating something useful. Even if I never finish this project, people might have gotten inspiration, ideas and motivation. This and the fun of programming is worth it all.

Don't hurry me! Don't annoy me!


Where can I find more skins/models?

list of sources from shipped resources: https://github.com/shanapu/MyStore/blob/master/resources.txt


The config files are not getting generated

MyStore only generate the .cfg files in ./cfg/sourcemod/MyStore/ not in ./addons/sourcemod/configs/MyStore/

  • You must do a full server restart. Only map changing isn't enough.

Can I add/bind perks like speed & health to a player skin/model?

Yes, and even more perks, weapons, accessories and commands! This feature is called attributes and explained in attributes wiki page


Can I use MyStore with SQLite?

Yes, but you can't use all features (e.g. vouchers) for now. I'm working on it. But, I generally recommend the use of MySQL.


Can I use same database from original Zephyrus Store?

For now, no. When MyStore is ready for a stable release on AM, there will be either a sql script, a sourcemod plugin or a php script to 'translate the database' from zephyrus to mystore.


Can I use plugins/modules from original Zephyrus store?

Nope, unfortunately not. MyStore has own & new natives and some structure changes to the original.


Can I/you edit plugins/modules from original Zephyrus store to work with MyStore?

Yes! It should be very easy for every plugin developer to port their plugins to MyStore with help of the well commented MyStore include file

  • If you cannot do it yourself or the original plugin author is not available, you can open a Feature Request

I have this error:

KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons\sourcemod\configs\MyStore\items.txt

I would say the error is really self explaining. You have a missing { in your item.txt


I have this error:

KeyValues Error: RecursiveLoadFromBuffer: got } in key in file addons\sourcemod\configs\MyStore\items.txt

Almost the same error as the one above. There is a missing } in your item.txt


I have this error:

[SM] Exception reported: Failed to read configs/MyStore/items.txt

There is an error in your item.txt. Normaly this error is coming together with on of the above errors. > Check your your item.txt for a missing },{ or "


I have this error:

[SM] Fatal error encountered parsing translation file "MyStore.phrases.txt" [SM] Error (line 0, column 0): Stream failed to open

The translation file MyStore.phrases.txt in ./addons/sourcemod/translation/ is missing or corrupt.


I have this error:

[SM] Failed to load plugin "mystore_XXXXX.smx": Unable to load plugin (no debug string table)

You are using binaries (.smx) compiled for a newer version of sourcemod than you installed on your server.

  • Check your sourcemod installtion version by type sm version in server console.

Either install right MyStore version

or update sourcemod


I have this error:

[SM] Exception reported: Language phrase "xxxxx_xxxxxx" not found

There is a missing phrase in MyStore.phrases.txt. Most likely outdated.

  • Open ./addons/sourcemod/translation/MyStore.phrases.txt in an editor and search for the missing phrase
  • If the phrase is still missing, download file from github and reupload to your server.
  • Still corrupt? Report an Bug
