<h3>Prerequisites</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Critical:</strong> MetaMod must be installed before AMX Mod X!</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Counter-Strike dedicated server</li>
|
||||
<li>MetaMod 1.21+ (for CS 1.6) or MetaMod:Source (for Source games)</li>
|
||||
<li>Admin access to server files</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Step 1: Install MetaMod (CS 1.6)</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Download MetaMod from metamod.org
|
||||
wget https://www.metamod.org/files/metamod-1.21-am.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xzf metamod-1.21-am.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
# Copy to server (Linux)
|
||||
cp metamod.so /path/to/cstrike/addons/metamod/dlls/
|
||||
|
||||
# Create metamod plugin config
|
||||
mkdir -p /path/to/cstrike/addons/metamod
|
||||
echo 'linux addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.so' > /path/to/cstrike/addons/metamod/metamod.so
|
||||
|
||||
# Update liblist.gam (CS 1.6 only)
|
||||
# Replace: gamedll_linux "dlls/cs.so"
|
||||
# With: gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.so"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Windows MetaMod Installation</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Download Windows version

||||
# Edit liblist.gam:
|
||||
# Replace: gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"
|
||||
# With: gamedll "addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Step 2: Install AMX Mod X</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Linux Installation</h4>

|
||||
tar -xzf /tmp/amxmodx-1.10.0-git5467-cstrike-linux.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
# Set permissions
|
||||
chmod +x addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
|
||||
|
||||
# AMX Mod X automatically registers with MetaMod
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Windows Installation</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Download Windows packages:
|
||||
# - amxmodx-1.10.0-git5467-base-windows.zip
|
||||
# - amxmodx-1.10.0-git5467-cstrike-windows.zip
|
||||
|
||||
# Extract both to cstrike\ folder
|
||||
# Folder structure should be:

<h3>AMX Mod X Not Loading</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Check MetaMod is loaded first
|
||||
# In server console: meta list
|
||||
# Should show: AMX Mod X
|
||||
|
||||
# If not listed:
|
||||
# 1. Verify MetaMod installation
|
||||
# 2. Check addons/metamod/plugins.ini contains:
|
||||
linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
|
||||
# Or for Windows:
|
||||
win32 addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm.dll
|
||||
|
||||
# Check file permissions (Linux)
|
||||
chmod +x addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Plugin Not Working</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Check plugin is enabled in plugins.ini
|
||||
cat addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini | grep myplugin
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify plugin loaded
|
||||
# In-game: amx_plugins
|
||||
# Should list your plugin
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for compilation errors
|
||||
# Recompile plugin and check for errors
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable debug mode
|
||||
# In amxx.cfg: amx_debug 1
|
||||
# Check logs/L*.log files for errors
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Admin Commands Not Working</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify admin entry in users.ini is correct (check SteamID format)</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure admin flags include required permission (e.g., 'd' for ban)</li>
|
||||
<li>Check admincmd.amxx plugin is loaded</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify immunity flag 'a' for admin protection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Crash After Plugin Installation</h3>

|
||||
; problematic_plugin.amxx
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart server and check if crash persists
|
||||
|
||||
# Check logs for specific error:

|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>
