AMX Mod X Installation
(Windows)
Briefing:
You should reserve about one to two hours to set up AMX Mod X.
While copying and configuring may only take a few minutes, it is good to have
the time available to get everything done right, and to be able to research
problems if they do come up.
This document will assume that you are installing AMX Mod X with easy
access to files. That means you are either:
1) Making a dummy install on your local computer, and then transferring the
entire package to your server.
2) Transferring all the files to your server and then editing them.
3) Using a local dedicated server in which you are directly copying and
editing the package contents (this applies to Terminal Server also).
Whichever situation you are in, make sure you are familiar with how to
transfer files to your server.
We will be installing AMX Mod X from the base package (zip file).
Local Installations: Finding your Mod folder
If you are installing onto your own local computer, use this section to
find where you should be copying files.
If you are using a Windows game host, you can skip this step or ask them for
assistance.
You should know what folder your mod is located in. Use this table
below:
| Mod Name |
Folder Name |
| Counter-Strike |
cs |
| Day of Defeat |
dod |
| Natural
Selection 2.0 |
ns |
| Natural
Selection 3.0 |
nsp |
| The
Specialists |
ts |
| Team Fortress
Classic |
tfc |
| Half-Life
Deathmatch |
valve |
| Deathmatch
Classic |
dmc |
| Ricochet |
ricochet |
Use this table to find where your mod folder is located:
| Half-Life Type |
Mod Location |
| Dedicated
Server |
c:\HLServer\ |
| Steam Menu
Server |
C:\Program
Files\Steam\SteamApps\
(Inside this folder there is a folder
corresponding to your Steam e-mail address. Inside that folder you
will find folders representing your Mod. Inside THAT folder you can
will find the real mod folder matching the table above). |
| WON Half-Life |
C:\Sierra\Half-Life\ |
| WON CS Retail |
C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\ |
You should now know where your mod folder is.
Step -1: Getting familiar with AMX Mod X's folder layout
This is an outline of the folder structure AMX Mod X uses. The
main\root folder, "addons", is placed in your mod folder.
You may want to create this layout beforehand if you are doing a manual file
upload through FTP.
| Folder |
Purpose |
|
addons |
Main
folder to store server modifications |
|
metamod |
Metamod's main folder |
|
dlls |
|
|
amxx |
AMX Mod X's main
folder |
|
config |
Where all configuration is stored |
|
dlls |
Where AMX Mod X's libraries are stored |

Step 0: Installing Metamod for AMX Mod X
If you already have Metamod, you may skip to the end of this step.
Create the folder layout for Metamod noted above. If they do not exist,
create "addons", "addons\metamod", and "addons\metamod\dlls".
Copy the file "metamod.dll" to "addons\metamod\dlls".
Open the file in your mod folder called "liblist.gam". Find the line
that says something like:
And replace it with:
| gamedll
"addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll" |
Create a file called "plugins.ini" in "addons\metamod\".
This step is for everyone:
Edit the file ("addons\metamod\plugins.ini") so it has the following line:
| win32
addons/amxx/dlls/amxx_mm.dll |
Step 1: Installing AMX Mod X
Copy the entire directory structure and all files from the package in the
folder "amxx" to your final destination mod folder.
You should have this: "addons/amxx" in your mod folder, just as they appear
in the AMX Mod X package.
Step 2: Configuring AMX Mod X
Use the table below to configure AMX Mod X to your liking.
Step 3: You're done!
