Installing AMX Mod X

Step 1: Download AMX Mod X from here. You'll most likely want to download the Full Installer as it includes more functionality than the Base install.

Step 2: Double click on the .exe file on your computer to load the AMX Mod X Installer.

Step 3: Choose an empty folder to install AMX Mod X into. It does not matter what the name of the folder is.


Step 4: At the end of the installation, choose "Run AMX Mod X Installer". If you accidentally don't choose to run it, you can still go into the folder you installed it in and run the Installer.exe file.

Step 5: Create an empty folder on your computer, and call it whatever you'd like.

Step 6: When it asks you to choose an Install Method, please choose "Select mod directory" which is under "Local Installation". It's tempting to choose the "FTP" option, but that option is a little more complicated, and we can reach the same result by doing it the former way.

Step 7: Remember that empty folder that you created in step 5? Please select that folder and then click "OK" -- do not worry about selecting a custom game addon.

Step 8: A message will popup during the installation saying: "The file "liblist.gam" couldn't be found. Continue installation?" Please select "yes" to continue your installation, as the liblist.gam file is not important in this specific situation.



Step 9: Check the folder that you specified that AMX Mod X be installed into. That folder should now have an "addons" folder inside of it.

Step 10: 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 11: Go to the location needed to edit the command line of your server.

Step 12: Add -dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll to your command line, as shown below.


Step 13: Stop and start your server. AMX Mod X should now be installed on your server.

Uninstalling AMX Mod X

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 X 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 "amxmodx" and "metamod" folders.

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

Configuring AMX Mod X

Setting Up Admins:

Step 1: Go into your FTP area, and then head to your cstrike\addons\amxmodx\configs 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\amxmodx\configs folder.

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

Adding Ranks To Your Server:

Step 1: The best way to get ranks onto your server is to go here and download the Counter-Strike Addon Pack.

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

Step 3: Inside the .zip file you'll see a folder called "addons". Copy that folder into your server's "cstrike" folder via FTP.

Step 4: Stop and start your server and your server will now have ranks. To check your rank on the server you can go into the console and type "say /rank" without the quotes.
