Installing AMX Mod

Step 1: Download AMX Mod from here. You'll most likely want to download the latest Steam one.

Step 2: Open up the .zip file with a program such as Winzip.

Step 3: Extract it to an empty folder on your computer. It will create an "addons" folder inside of it.

Step 4: Go into the \addons\metamod folder, and rename the "sample_plugins.ini" file to "plugins.ini"

Step 5: Go into the FTP area of your Counter-Strike 1.6 server, and copy the "addons" folder into your "cstrike" folder, as shown below.




Step 6: Go to the location needed to edit the command line of your server.

Step 7: Add -dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll to your command line, as shown below.


Step 8: Stop and start your server. AMX Mod should now be installed on your server.

Uninstalling AMX Mod

Step 1: Stop your server.

Step 2: Go to the location needed to edit the command line of your server.

Step 3: Remove -dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll from your command line.

Step 4: Go into your FTP area, and from inside the "cstrike" folder, delete the "addons" folder if AMX Mod is the only mod that you have installed on your server. If it's not, and you have other files in the "addons" folder, then simply go into the "addons" folder and delete the "amx" and "metamod" folders.

Step 5: Start your server up. AMX Mod should now be uninstalled.

Configuring AMX Mod

Setting Up Admins:

Step 1: Go into your FTP area, and then head to your cstrike\addons\amx\config folder and copy the users.ini file to your computer. This is the file that stores who the admins are, and what privileges they get.

Step 2: Decide whether you'd like to use your STEAM ID to authenticate you as an admin, or if you'd like to use your IP address. Another possibility is authenticating via a username/password, but this method is usually not recommended. Please note: you should only choose one of those three methods to authenticate yourself.

Step 3: Add the following line to the bottom of your users.ini file if you're using a STEAM ID. The only thing you have to change is the STEAM ID to match your own (you can check what your STEAM ID by going into the game and typing "status" in the console), and the permissions if you want to only give yourself or others specific permissions. For more information regarding what each letter stands for regarding permissions, please see your users.ini file. Do not change what's in the second empty quotes, or what's in the last quotes:

"STEAM_0:1:12345" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"

If you'd like to use your IP address, make it look like this instead (remember to only change the IP address, and if you'd like, the permissions in the third quotes. You can check your IP address by going to www.myipaddress.com):

"123.43.43.53" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "de"

If you'd like to use a username/password, it should look like this (please only change the username, password, and privileges, while leaving the last quotes alone):

"login_name" "my_password" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"

Please note that for the above option, you will be required to set a password on the client end as well. To do that, create a file in your cstrike folder on your computer called userconfig.cfg if you don't already have one. In it, have the client put setinfo _pw "password" in it. For example:

setinfo _pw "my_password"

Remember: You only need to use *one* of the above lines of code to authenticate yourself as an admin. Either choose the Steam ID method, the IP address method, or the username/password method.

Step 4: Save the users.ini file, and copy it back via FTP to the cstrike\addons\amx\config folder.

Step 5: Stop and start your server so the new users.ini file is loaded.
