Configuring AMX Mod X

Admins

See the section on Adding Admins for more information.

Plugins

Installing

Often, plugins will have their own directions if they need special installation requirements. However, this will instruct you on the basics of adding a plugin.

1. Follow any directions the plugin author has given you. If the plugin requires extra steps or special files, make sure you have them in the proper place and order.
2. If you are given a .sma source file instead of a .amxx, you must compile the plugin yourself. For more information, see Compiling Plugins (AMX Mod X).
3. Place the plugin's .amxx file in the addons/amxmodx/plugins folder.
4. Add the plugin's name to addons\configs\plugins.ini. Example:

   myplugin.amxx

5. Restart the server or change maps. If the plugin has any load errors, see Troubleshooting AMX Mod X#Plugins.

Removing

1. Remove the entry from addons\amxmodx\configs\plugins.ini by deleting it or prepending a semi-colon to comment it out.
2. Delete any associated files.

Modules

Modules add additional functionality for plugins to use.

Installing

1. Figure out what operating system your server is: Windows, Linux, or Linux using AMD64 (64bit).
2. If the module is 3rd party, download the module corresponding to your OS. It will end in .dll for Windows, _i386.so for Linux, or _amd64.so for AMD64.
3. Place the file in addons/amxmodx/modules/ and follow any additional instructions.
4. Add the module's name to addons\amxmodx\configs\modules.ini. AMX Mod X supports generic notation, for example:

   mysql_amxx

   ... will automatically detect the correct module to use.
5. To see if the module is working, you can type amxx modules in your server console.

Removing

1. Remove the entry from addons\amxmodx\configs\modules.ini by deleting it or prepending a semi-colon to comment it out.
2. Delete any associated files if you don't need them.
