Installing AMX Mod X plugins on CS 1.6

The complete guide to installing AMX Mod X, adding popular plugins like ReSemiclip, HnS or ZP, and managing admin privileges.

AMX Mod X is the plugin framework powering 95% of modern CS 1.6 servers. Install it once, then drop in plugins as needed.

Install AMX Mod X

  1. Download the Linux base package from amxmodx.org.
  2. Extract to /cstrike/addons/amxmodx/.
  3. Also install Metamod-p (or Metamod-r) to /cstrike/addons/metamod/.
  4. Edit /cstrike/addons/metamod/plugins.ini and add linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so.
  5. Restart the server and run meta list in rcon — AMX Mod X should appear as RUN.

Admin accounts

Edit /cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/users.ini. Entry format:

<auth>   <password>   <flags>   <access>\n"STEAM_0:1:123"   ""   "abcdefghijkmnopqrstu"   "ce"

Flags are access levels (a = immunity, b = kick, ..., z = user). ce access = Steam ID + no password.

Popular plugin packs

  • ReSemiclip — walk through teammates, fewer collisions.
  • Zombie Plague — full ZM conversion.
  • Hide and Seek (HnS) — HnS gamemode.
  • MultiJump / Bhop — bhop server must-haves.
  • Stats Extended — kill/death tracking with per-round stats.

Enabling a plugin

Drop the .amxx file in /cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/ and add its filename (without extension? — with) to plugins.ini. Example: resemiclip.amxx. Restart.
