Admins (non-SQL)
Adding an Admin
First, open the amxmodx/configs/users.ini file with your favorite text editor. Scroll to the bottom. Admin entries are stored with four options: Authentication, Password, Access Right, Connection Properties.
In the early days of Half-Life 1 it was common to have admins authenticate by name. However, now it is recommended to auth by steamid. An example of a typical admin entry is:
"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"
Entries are one-per-line, and each of the four options are space separated, contained in double-quotes. This one means:
- The user has SteamID STEAM_0:0:123456
- The user has no password (steamid-authentication)
- Access rights are levels a through u
- The user is a steamid ("c") and has no password ("e")
It is also possible to authenticate by username:
"BAILOPAN" "mypass" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"
To authenticate, BAILOPAN would put this in his client's autoexec.cfg, where "_pw" is the value of "amx_password_field" in amxx.cfg.
setinfo "_pw" "mypass"
For information on what access levels mean, see AMX Mod X Access Levels.
Note: Note: It is important that you do not use the 'z' flag for admins.
Removing an Admin
Find the admin's entry in your amxmodx/configs/users.ini file, and put a semicolon in front of it. For example:
;"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"
That will prevent the entry from being read.
Admins (SQL)
AMX Mod X lets you store admin accounts in a MySQL database. This is ideal if you have multiple servers with common administrators.
Configuring Server
First, make sure you have mysql_amxx enabled in AMX Mod X's amxmodx/configs/modules.ini file.
Then, open amxmodx/configs/sql.cfg and edit the cvars accordingly:
| CVAR | Default Setting | Purpose |
| amx_sql_host | "127.0.0.1" | IP address of SQL server. |
| amx_sql_user | "root" | Username to connect to the SQL server. |
| amx_sql_pass | "" | Password to connect to the SQL server. |
| amx_sql_db | "amx" | Database to use on the SQL server. |
| amx_sql_table | "admins" | The table to use for the admin_sql plugin. |
Make sure your username and password have access that to the given database and table. Then, open your amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini. Comment out "admin.amxx" and enable "admin_sql.amxx":
;admin.amxx admin_sql.amxx ...
Maintaining Admins
Once the server loads for the first time, it will automatically create the table specified with amx_sql_table.
You can either add an admin through an SQL tool like an SQL Console or phpMyAdmin, or you can add an admin using amx_addadmin.
If you choose to use SQL directly (or an interface), you must learn the table layout. There are four columns, each corresponding to one of the four properties listed above in #Adding an Admin. For example:
INSERT INTO admins VALUES("STEAM_0:1:23456", "", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu", "ce");
Note: Note: It is important that you do not use the 'z' flag for admins.
For information on what access levels mean, see AMX Mod X Access Levels.
