Amx Mod Installation

SpiffyJr

<div class="IPBDescription">AMX > Adminmod ;)</div> I just replyed to someone and figured this was a good post to have out there in general for those people who just can't seem to get AMX mod up and running.

Well, there is a readme.txt but I'll give you the rundown.

1.) Download the newest version of metamod from <a href='http://www.metamod.org' target='_blank'>http://www.metamod.org</a>. Make the following directory structure inside your mod folder.

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
$moddir/addons
$moddir/addons/metamod
$moddir/addons/metamod/dlls

<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
and put the binary you just downloaded in addons/metamod/dlls.

2.) Create the files $moddir/addons/metamod/plugins.ini (will hold all your metamod plugins) and $moddir/addons/metamod/exec.cfg (will hold some cvars if you need them).

3.) Edit your ns/liblist.gam file making the following changes:

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
gamedll "dlls\mp.dll"                               --> gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"              --> gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"

<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
installation of metamod is now complete.

4.) Now time to install amx. Edit $moddir/addons/metamod/plugins.ini and insert

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
; AMX Mod
win32 addons\amx\dlls\amx_mm.dll
linux addons/amx/dlls/amx_mm_i386.so
; More script functions for AMX Mod
win32 addons\amx\dlls\fun_ms.dll
linux addons/amx/dlls/fun_ms_i386.so

<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
5.) Edit $moddir/addons/amx/admin.cfg to your liking, boot up the server and type meta list. You should see something similar to the following.

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
meta list
Currently loaded plugins:
     description      stat pend  file              vers      src  load  unlod

[ 6] AMX Log Daemon   RUN   -    logd_ms_i386.so   v1.00.5   ini  ANY   Pause
6 plugins, 6 running

<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
pay special attention to the AMX, and FUN listings. If they show as listed then you've successfully installed amx and metamod. If they have fail anywhere, reread these instructions and try again.

<b>* NOTE:</b> If you get any errors pertaining to

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->LoadLibrary failed on /blah/hlds_l/ns/dlls/ns_i386.so: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from /blah/hlds_l/ns/dlls/ns_i386.so!
FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Host_Error: Couldn't get DLL API from /blah/hlds_l/ns/dlls/ns_i386.so!

<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
then try and find compatible libraries for your system. For gentoo simply do an emerge lib-compat to get the packages and for other flavors of linux you can try <a href='http://at.rpmfind.net/opsys/linux/RPM/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2.html' target='_blank'>THIS PAGE</a>. Once you download the package simply do a rpm -Uvh *filename* to install the packages. That should get you up and running.

6.) Finally, do an amx list and get a listing of plugins you have running. If you see something similar you have successfully installed AMX Mod.

Hope this helped.

(as per other thread) ..

REQ: info on using menus for administration

<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The main thing to remember when using menus for Natural-Selection is that keys 6-10 are not bound automatically which, you guessed it, are essential to menus. Edit your config.cfg or type the following commands in console.

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
bind "6" "slot6"
bind "7" "slot7"
bind "8" "slot8"
bind "9" "slot9"
bind "0" "slot10"

echo "SpiffyJr is 1337" (Really, you can if you want)
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
<b>*NOTE:</b> Don't forget to setup your admin access with "u", otherwise you won't have priveleges to access the menus.

Now that we got that over with, startup a game and issue command amx_menu, that should give you a little popup of the menus. As for a specific Natural-Selection driven menu, there might be one out there you just have to look. But all the main stuff (kicks bans etc) are already in there.

I am going to be trying AMX Mod as soon as my server is running again. From what I hear it's the most customizable and best alternative to Admin Mod.

I googled that page for natural selection and only found the unstuck plugin. I searched the forum for ns.amx and got nothing.

Do you have a url please? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yea, if you want a pidly. Check out the rest of TCQuests plugins on my website... <a href='http://www.team-ai.com' target='_blank'>http://www.team-ai.com</a> under downloads. There's some great ones in there with info on setting them up as well.

Apparently my webhost went down. I'll get them back up as soon as the server gets back online *argh*.

That looks just like the readme...

Tcquest78

And people don't read readmes. If people read readmes, there would be 2 posts in AMX's Troubleshooting forum. And those 2 posts would be plugin requests that should go in the requests forums.

Seeing as, according to The Gord(www.actsofgord.com -- good way to waste a few hours), people buy games labled 'I Suck! Buy Me!', maybe they should be named dontreadme's?

yapp ... typical RTFM problem.

Nonetheless, still a component for a stickied post? There's plenty of people out there that don't RTFM.

adminmod > amx mod

you = lame

SuicideDog

wow.. looks like I converted a couple ppl.. as far as I know... I was the only one running amx for NS for a long time .. ns.amx rocks .. and TCquest78 is the man..

[shameless plug]

ns.amx was developed using my server as the test environment.. in fact I think all of the NS- amx plugins that TC has written were first beta tested on my server.. and that's why TC has a r-slot on my server. I also highly recommend the vote.amx for it's menu driven map vote, as well has his custom motd plugin that to my knowledge is the only amx motd plugin that lets you read from a txt file AND use custom vars. A must have for amx + NS is the anti-r_drawviewmodel plugin that was converted from the plugin that GoleX tried to get working with adminmod but was stymied by adminmod itself. If you need any of amx plugins.. let me know .. if TC can't get them to you .. I will send them along.

Come visit my server to check out the latest plugins and for good game play. Did I mention I can host your NS/DOD/CS/WHATEVER server for you? Just PM me.
