AMX Mod X 1.10 (build 1.10.0.5468) is already installed and running on every FREAKHOSTING Counter-Strike 1.6 server, together with Metamod, so you don’t need to install it. Type amxx version in the Game Panel Console to check it. You configure it in cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/: admins in users.ini, plugins in plugins.ini and settings in amxx.cfg.

​
What is AMX Mod X?

AMX Mod X is the admin and plugin system for Half-Life servers. It adds admin commands (amx_kick, amx_ban, amx_map), menus, map votes and stats, and runs thousands of community plugins (.amxx files). It runs inside Metamod.

​
How to check AMX Mod X is running

1

Open the console

Open your server’s Console while the server is running.
2

Check the version

Type amxx version. You see AMX Mod X 1.10.0.5468 (http://www.amxmodx.org) and Core mode: JIT+ASM32.
3

List the plugins

Type amxx plugins. Each plugin shows its status; running is good. The last line reads <n> plugins, <n> running.

​
AMX Mod X files you edit

Plugins go in addons/amxmodx/plugins/ as .amxx files. After a change, restart the server. For admins only, amx_reloadadmins is enough.

​
How to update AMX Mod X

AMX Mod X publishes continuous builds of the 1.10 branch at amxmodx.org. To move to a newer 1.10 build:
1

Back up

Make a backup, and download addons/amxmodx/configs/ to your PC.
2

Download two Linux packages

From the 1.10 downloads, get the Linux Base package and the Linux Counter-Strike package of the same build.
3

Remove the configs folder from the download

On your PC, extract both into one addons folder and delete its amxmodx/configs folder, so your admins and plugin list are kept.
4

Upload

Upload the addons folder to cstrike/ with SFTP, replacing files.
5

Restart and check

Restart and type amxx version and amxx plugins. If plugins show bad load, restore the backup.

​
How AMX Mod X is installed on a plain HLDS server (for reference)

You don’t need this on FREAKHOSTING. On a server without it:
  1. Install Metamod first.
  2. Extract the AMX Mod X Linux Base and Counter-Strike packages into cstrike/, which creates addons/amxmodx/.
  3. Add linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so to Metamod’s plugins.ini.
  4. Restart and check with meta list and amxx version.
