More Information
SourceMod is a tool that allows players to modify and automate functions on servers used to play multiplayer Source Engine games, such as Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. While SourceMod includes many default features, modders can also extend the add-on's functionality by installing custom plug-ins. When writing these plug-ins, modders save their source code as SP files.
Each SP file contains a SourcePawn script, which may modify when and how events fire during a game, allow players to execute custom game actions, automate game admin, or perform any number of other custom functions. After a modder finishes creating their SP file, they then use the online SourceMod Plug-in Compiler to compile it to the SMX format. They can then install the plug-in their SMX file contains and distribute it for use by other players.
How to open an SP file
You can open an SP file with Microsoft Visual Studio Code or any other text editor, to view and edit the script it contains.
If you want to compile an SP file to an SMX file, use the online SourceMod Plug-in Compiler. (If your plug-in includes a custom include, you'll instead have to use the compiler included with SourceMod.)
