[GUIDE] How to add admins AMX Mod X

[sinex]

Step 1: Go into your FTP area, and then head to your cstrike\addons\amxmodx\configs folder and copy the users.ini file to your computer. This is the file that stores who the admins are, and what privileges they get.

Step 2: Decide whether you'd like to use your STEAM ID to authenticate you as an admin, or if you'd like to use your IP address. Another possibility is authenticating via a username/password, but this method is usually not recommended. Please note: you should only choose one of those three methods to authenticate yourself.

Step 3: Add the following line to the bottom of your users.ini file if you're using a STEAM ID. The only thing you have to change is the STEAM ID to match your own (you can check what your STEAM ID by going into the game and typing "status" in the console), and the permissions if you want to only give yourself or others specific permissions. For more information regarding what each letter stands for regarding permissions, please see your users.ini file. Do not change what's in the second empty quotes, or what's in the last quotes:

"STEAM_0:1:12345" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"

If you'd like to use your IP address, make it look like this instead (remember to only change the IP address, and if you'd like, the permissions in the third quotes. You can check your IP address by going to www.myipaddress.com):

"123.43.43.53" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "de"

If you'd like to use a username/password, it should look like this (please only change the username, password, and privileges, while leaving the last quotes alone):

"login_name" "my_password" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "a"

Please note that for the above option, you will be required to set a password on the client end as well. To do that, create a file in your cstrike folder on your computer called userconfig.cfg if you don't already have one. In it, have the client put setinfo _pw "password" in it. For example:

setinfo _pw "my_password"

Remember: You only need to use *one* of the above lines of code to authenticate yourself as an admin. Either choose the Steam ID method, the IP address method, or the username/password method.

Step 4: Save the users.ini file, and copy it back via FTP to the cstrike\addons\amxmodx\configs folder.

Step 5: Restart your server so the new users.ini file is loaded.

*NOTE* If you had any problems with this guide, or some part(s) of the guide didn't work, just PM me or leave a comment stating the problem and I will try my best to find a way around the problem or even fix it.

im administrating 2 servers 1 for CZ and 1 for CS1.6 and on both i add admins thru FTP.

the flags have to be "de" for STEAM_ID and "ce" for IP.
im sure of that for my two servers, can any1 else confirm that ? (Someone who has servers not from FAQs online).

[sinex]

I run a server with AMX Mod X and I used those exact ones to add myself as admin, and i was looking at my "user.ini" file. It worked for me the way i said it. I don't know about others... I don't copy/paste from FAQ's either, I write my own, the way that i did it to make it work.

[sinex]

Im pretty sure that you are wrong, because here is the copy/pasted part from users.ini that says which is which:

flags:
; a - disconnect player on invalid password
; b - clan tag
; c - this is steamid/wonid
; d - this is ip
; e - password is not checked (only name/ip/steamid needed)

I am fairly sure that proves me right... Anyways I have asked a admin or mod to delete my so called "fixed" thread that i re-wrote for you.

[nickbunyun]

u enter it in console i belive. but, since i greatly reject the fact of having to enter a password everytime u enter a server, i never used passwords so im not 100% sure, though thats what i think u do
