Step 1: Installing AMX Mod and Metamod
Metamod-P 1.19p32 is included with AMX Mod 2010. If you already have Metamod installed, simply extract the amx folder from the AMX Mod 2010 download and put it in your addons folder and skip
A. Download AMX Mod 2010 from the AMX Mod Site
B. Extract the zip file to your mod folder. For example, if the game you play is Counter-Strike, then the mod folder you're looking for is cstrike. The folder structure should look like this when done unless you chose not to install Steam or HLDS in the default location:
└ mod (ie. cstrike, tfc, dod)
└ addons
├ metamod
│ └ dlls
└ amx
├ config
├ dlls
├ docs
├ examples
│ ├ include
│ └ source
│ └ default
├ lang
├ logs
├ modules
└ plugins
Enabling Metamod: (If you only have FTP access to your server click here)
Metamod can be enabled by adding a command line switch to your server's shortcut or startup script. The old method done by editing the liblist.gam file should be used if your only access to the server is by FTP. The -dll switch is how it's done. Choose your type of server from below and follow the instructions:
- "Windows Listen Servers": Right-click on your game (ex. Counter-Strike) from the Games menu in Steam and choose Properties. Then choose Launch options. Now add
-dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll
to the space provided and choose OK. - "Windows Dedicated Servers from the Games menu in Steam": Right-click on Dedicated Serverchoose Properties, then choose Launch options. Now add
-dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll
to the space provided and choose OK. - "Windows Stand Alone Dedicated Servers (HLDS)": Right-click on the shortcut for your server and choose Properties. From the Shortcut tab find the Target field. At the end of that line, add
-dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll
and choose OK. - "Linux Dedicated Servers (HLDS)" Edit the script you use to start up your server and add
-dll addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so
to the end of the line. Save and exit.
D. To find out if Metamod is running, start your server and type meta version on the server console and press enter. Remember if you're doing this from your client this is an rcon command. You should get something that looks like this:

If you do, then you have successfully installed and enabled Metamod! and let's enable AMX Mod next.
A. If you did not have Metamod on your server before, you can use the provided sample_plugins.inithat comes within the AMX download and rename it to plugins.ini. After renaming the sample_plugins.ini file nothing more needs to be done and you can skip down to part B.
If you already have Metamod installed, open up the addons/metamod/plugins.ini file in a text editor and add the following lines:
linux addons/amx/dlls/amx_mm_i386.so
Note: You can have both 'win32' and 'linux' lines listed above in the plugins.ini file, but both are not required. If you run a Windows server, then the Linux line is ignored and vice versa.
B. Start up your server. At the server console, type meta list. You should see something like this:
description stat pend file vers src load unload
[ 1] AMX Mod RUN - amx_mm.dll v2010.1 ini ANY ANY
[ 2] Fun RUN - fun.dll v2010.1 pl1 ANY ANY
[ 3] CSStats RUN - csstats.dll v2010.1 pl1 ANY ANY
3 plugins, 3 running
If you do, then you have successfully enabled AMX Mod! For additional information on changes in each release of AMX, refer to the readme.txt file included with the download. Now you have AMX installed and running. , we will go through how to configure AMX.
