Setting up AMX Mod X + KZ multiplugin

This is a guide about setting up, you guessed it, AMX Mod X (version 1.76c) on a server. This can be a DEDICATED server or a SIMPLE installation of CS that everybody of us has on his or her box.

1. Downloading AMX Mod X

Open your favorite browser and open up:

http://www.amxmodx.org/downloads.php

If you are running a simple installation or a dedicated server under Windows AND are not able to extract two archives you download: AMX Mod X Full Installer. If you do continue with point 2a.

If you are running a simple installation or a dedicated server under Windows AND are not a DAU you download: AMX Mod X Base vX.X Windows and Counter-Strike Addon vX.X Windows. If you do continue with point 2b.

If you are running a dedicated server under Unix/Linux you will have to download: AMX Mod X Base vX.X Linux and Counter-Strike Addon vX.X Linux. If you do continue with point 2b.


2a. Installing AMX Mod X for DAUs

Since there is complete guide with screenshots and all, I'm only going to give you the link you need. :)
There you go:
http://wiki.amxmodx.org/index.php/Installing_AMX_Mod_X_Automatically
Continue with point 3 below.

2b. Installing AMX Mod X

There is also a complete guide for this.

3. Enabling modules used by KZ_multiplugin

So you want to jump using checkpoints, don't you? :D

First of all we need to enable 2 modules necessary to operate the plugin. Open the following file with an editor of your choice:

If you are running a simple installation of CS (Windows only):
:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps//counter-strike/cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/modules.ini

If you are running a dedicated server under Windows:
:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps//dedicated-server/cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/modules.ini

If you are running a dedicated server under Unix/Linux:
/usr/steam/hlds/cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/modules.ini

And look for the following lines:

[blockquote];;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; These modules will be auto-detected and loaded ;;
;; as needed. You do not need to enable them here ;;
;; unless you have problems. ;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
fun
engine
;fakemeta
;geoip
;sockets
;regex
;nvault
cstrike
csx
[/blockquote]

In an AMX Mod X config file every line that starts with a semicolon (;) is a comment. Make sure that there is no semicolon in front of: fun, engine, cstrike and csx. Don't forget to save your changes! :)

If you need additional information on modules, there you go:

4. Setting up the KZ_multiplugin

Before we can set this up, we need to download it. You need to click here:

Now open the archive with your WinZip or whatever and let's put the files where they belong to. ;)

Put the "kz_multiplugin.amxx" into the plugins folder of AMX Mod X. Put the "climbing.ini" into the configs folder.

Now open the "plugins.ini" file which is just where you put the "climbinb.ini" - the configs folder. To tell AMX Mod X to load our new plugin, we need to add the following code to the end of the file:

[blockquote]kz_multiplugin.amxx[/blockquote]
You don't need the other files that are inside the archive you downloaded.


5. Testing your AMX Mod X

Well if you did everything right, the only thing that is left, is to start your server. This depends on the type of server you are using.

Just bring down your console. If you don't see any error messages, congratulations you did it! You can now say "/checkpoint" and "/gocheck" to use the checkpoint system.

If you have trouble and point 6 of this artice is not the solution, I suggest you consult the following site:

You may also try to use my post-installed version of AMX Mod X 1.76c (with recompiled KZ Multiplugin) for a local CS 1.6 installation on a Windows box from here:
http://members.chello.hu/balla.gyorgy/downloads/cstrike.zip
(you have to extract the archive into your cstrike folder)


6. Enabling checkpoints on new maps

Well I almost forgott this one. Do you remember the "climbing.ini" file you put into the configs directory of AMX Mod X? That one is the config file of KZ_multiplugin.

It looks like this:

You need to add a line for each map you want to be able to use checkpoints on. Just copy one line and change the map name at the beginning of the line. If you have time you can figure out the switches behind the name. :D

Well that's it! Well done and have fun!




[ Edited ]

I've tryed several times, dont know what I am doing wrong :( NEED HELP :'(

is there anyway to run plugins in local games? like you just open cs > new game and being able to use a plugin?

wow, thanks alot, ill try that now

Just copy one of the lines in there, paste it at the end of the file and change the name of the map (the first word in the line).

Can you post your plugins.ini please?

Make sure the plugin is in the amxmodx\plugins folder, if it is, update your amxmodx.
