Step 2: Enabling AMX Mod

A. If you did not have Metamod on your server before, you can use the provided sample_plugins.iniCan't see the file extension?

Open My Computer > Tools menu > Folder Options > View tab > uncheck Hide file extentions for known file types then re-check the file name.
that comes within the AMX download and rename it to plugins.iniCan't see the file extension?

Open My Computer > Tools menu > Folder Options > View tab > uncheck Hide file extentions for known file types then re-check the file name.
. 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:

win32 addons/amx/dlls/amx_mm.dll
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:

Currently loaded plugins:
description      stat pend  file              vers     src  load  unlod
[ 1] AMX         RUN   -    amx_mm.dll        v2005.1  ini  ANY   ANY
[ 2] CSStats     RUN   -    csstats.dll       v1.0     pl1  ANY   ANY
[ 3] FUN         RUN   -    fun.dll           v1.0     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. In Step 3, we will go through how to configure AMX.
