Question

I’m using NSIS to create prepared game servers.

First I need the user to select the type of server (Public/Zombie/other gamemodes)

Then they will be shown list of plugins, with pictures and a description for each plugin.

Something like this:

Public plugins will be other.

How can I do this?

It was not really clear to me if you wanted normal sections as well, having two component pages complicates things a bit but I assumed that is what you want so this example does that:

outfile "$%temp%\sotest.exe"
RequestExecutionLevel user
!include MUI2.nsh
!include nsDialogs.nsh
!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_NODESC
!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT onguiinit
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE pagecbcmpnorm
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE pagecbcmpplugin
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW pagecbcmppluginshow
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE pagecbcmppluginleave
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS 
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
