How to install plugins?

plugins.ini - Adding more plugins

The plugins.ini file in your cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs folder is the list of what plugins are run in your server. See below how to edit this file and add or remove plugins from your server. This is what the default plugins.ini looks like:



Download pre-compiled plugins or the source file and compile it:

1) Copy the .amxx file to your cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/ folder
2) Add the line for that plugin to your cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini file.Let's say you have a plugin called bunnyhop.amxx
This is what it would look like if it was in the plugins.ini file.

I started a new section for any plugins that I added and left the default plugin section alone.
3) Now to test and see if the plugin you added is installed and running, start up your server. In the servers console type amx_plugins. You should get something like this:

4) Trouble Shooting
If you see something like bad load under status or unknown under name while doing amx_plugins, or [AMX] Plugin file open error (plugin "some_plugin.amx") while your server was starting up then possibly:
- the plugin wasn't copied to the cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/ folder
- the name of the plugin doesn't match what you typed in the plugins.ini file.
- if server was running while you were installing plugins, do restart or change a map, because changes won't take effect without it.
- Also the compiled plugin needs to be compiled to your version of AMXX or it may not work.
-When you upgrade AMXX you should recompile all your plugins anyway.
-You should know how to compile plugins, its very easy and many edits can be made by non programmers.
5) If there are additional files, its must be copied in corresponding folders.
Often there are .cfg ,.ini and .txt files.
So.cfg and.ini must be copied to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs folder.
and .txt - to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/data/lang folder.
If necessary you can edit these files at own discretion.
6) To disable any plugin, add a semi-colon ';' to the beginning of its line in the plugins.ini file (Delete any associated files.).

7) All plugin CVAR's must be saved at cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/amxx.cfg file.
