Admin Mod And Alternatives?

Belabor · February 2003

Does anyone have any experience with both adminmod and other metamod admin plugins? The word on the street is adminmod and NS don't seem to proform that well together in linux.. Is there any truth to this, and should I consider an alternative? Our server is stretched pretty thin as it is with two other HL servers running, so any slight improvement is worth it.

The only problem with amxmod is that it has a zero documentation. I'm trying to set it up now but am eyeing clanmod again ..

it has documentation, albeit not as much as adminmod though. the readme is all an experienced admin needs to install amx. if you have any other questions, then just post them on the amx forums.

Shame you're not running windows if you like adminmod. My server is now VERY stable (over 4 days up now, more than 250 map changes so far with no crash and heavy loads too) with adminmod (obviously metamod therefore too).
win2k tho, so probably of no interest to ya <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Ahm ... that's not really correct.
Did you have a look at the amxmod forums? All the plugins are documentated there including the source.

btw amxmod is really great! I love it cause its completly customizeable!
In my opinion Clanmods docu is much worste and it has no features which are not included with amx.
Stick to amx! It rocks! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

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.

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

</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

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:

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

</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

installation of metamod is now complete.

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

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
; 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

</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

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.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
meta list
Currently loaded plugins:
description stat pend file vers src load unlod
[ 1] WebMod RUN - w_mm_i386.so v0.46 ini Start Never
[ 2] NS StripEnt RUN - stripent_mm.so v1.00.00 ini Chlvl Chlvl
[ 3] Unstuck Pro RUN - unstuck_mm.so v1.00 ini Pause Pause
[ 4] AMX RUN - amx_mm_i386.so v0.9.2 ini Start Start
[ 5] FUN RUN - fun_ms_i386.so v0.9.2 ini Start Start
[ 6] AMX Log Daemon RUN - logd_ms_i386.so v1.00.5 ini ANY Pause
6 plugins, 6 running

</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

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. You can also do a amx list and get a listing of plugins you have running. For example.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
amx list
Currently loaded plugins:

Hope this helps.

OK .... just wanted to add a lil help if <i>amx list</i> does not work.
Try to type <i>meta version</i> in console.
If there is a reply and it gives you version <1.14.1 you have to update metamod. (AMX aonly works with metamod version >=1.14.1.
If there is no reply, your metamod install just failed.

My main desire is to have easy menu-driven administrative functions. The extra menu plugins appear to be CS only.. starting with something along the lines of gameType = "cstike". Also, there is no documentation as to how to <i>use</i> any of the admin stuff once it is in place. Am I supposed to guess? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Once you got your admin access up, join the game and type amx_help in console. It'll give you a rundown of all the commands you have access to.

I AM SO GOING TO FORGET YOU SAID THAT.

Seriously, I would... but it's a server that runs other stuff, so I need to worry about things like security and stability (4 day server uptime is not my needed 400 day uptime).

Everyone else, thanks for the info. Very helpful.
