OUTDATED! PLEASE REFER TO THE AMX MOD X WIKI FOR UPDATED MAP CONFIGURATION

http://wiki.amxmodx.org/Configuring_...p_Config_Files

This post is kept for legacy purposes. Guide below does infact still work as posted, however the wiki contains information on how to create map custom map configs much easier. Especially enabling and disabling plugins based on certain maps!

Weapon restriction information is located towards the end of this post. The list of weapons and how to restrict them can be found here!

One of the newest "features" of AMX MOD X 1.0 (and higher) is the ability to create a map config based on the current map the server is running. Similar to that of what Admin Mod and what JustHoMi created for AMX Mod which was later ported to AMX MOD X.

This feature is very useful for many server admins that wish to enable low gravity on maps such as scoutzknivez when they are not around. Also useful to pause certain plugins on certain maps which you do not feel are needed, such as pausing a awp restriction plugin on awp_map.

How can I get the best use of this feature?

Well this feature comes standard in the admin.amxx plugin, meaning it will always available to you if you decide to use it.

First it is always a good idea to have any cvar you wish to change on a certain map defined in your server.cfg file. This file is located in your base directory of your half life mod.

Notice the very first line of the server.cfg. This must be in your server.cfg so apon any map change it will return your server to its default settings. You wouldnt want to play scoutzknivez on sv_gravity 200 and then change maps to de_aztec with sv_gravity 200 now would you?

IF you do not place mapchangecfgfile server.cfg in your server.cfg then you HAVE TO place any cvar into your amxx.cfg to allow your server settings return to normal.

How do I create a custom map config and where does it need to be placed?

To create a config file open up your favorite text editor (notepad will do) and go "file -> save as...". Then save your file as the map you want to create the config for such as de_dust and be sure to add the .cfg at the end thus giving you de_dust.cfg.

These config files go into your maps directory located in the configs folder of AMX MOD X. That simple
Full location of this would be addons\amxmodx\configs\maps. If you do not have a maps folder in the configs directory then create one.

What if I want to restrict a plugin for that map only?

Lets say I want to restrict a plugin called "admin_allinone.amxx" on the map "de_aztec". I would first create a de_aztec.cfg and then place the following line.

Originally Posted by de_aztec.cfg amx_pausecfg pause admin_allinone.amxx

This would allow you to pause the plugin called "admin_allinone.amxx" for that map "de_aztec". Apon the next map change your plugin will be running once again, unless of course you pause it on the next map also. To pause any plugin just replace "admin_allinone.amxx" with what ever the plugin is named instead.

What if I want to restrict a weapon on a certian map?

Using the restmenu.amxx plugin that comes with AMX MOD X 1.0 COUNTER-STRIKE ADDON package you can also restrict weapons based on map. Lets say I dont want people to purchase AK47 on fy_iceworld.

For a complete list of weapons on how to use the restrict command please look at the end of this post.

Lets put it all together now!

This is how I would have a custom map config for the map scoutzknivez

Originally Posted by server.cfg mapchangecfgfile server.cfg mp_timelimit 35 mp_timeleft 35 sv_gravity 800 sv_alltalk 0

My scoutzknivez.cfg would look like this

Originally Posted by scoutzknivez.cfg amx_pausecfg pause admin_allinone.amxx amx_restrict on ak47 mp_timelimit 20 mp_timeleft 20 sv_gravity 200 sv_alltalk 1

Then I would place the scoutzknivez.cfg into you maps directory located under the configs folder.

Why did I place the weapon restrict on ak47 for scoutzknivez? I did that as a example, I know you cant purchase weapons on that map. It is so you get the idea for other maps.

I hope this helps out everyone wishing to use custom map configs along with AMX MOD X.

Thanks,

Complete list of weapons for restmenu.amxx plugin
Make sure this plugin is running, this is included for the CSTRIKE package. This is a list of weapons and what you should do to restrict them on a per map basis if you are running the restmenu.amxx plugin on your server.

Remember if you want to use these on a per map basis for restrict be sure to have something along the lines of

amx_restrict on ak47 amx_restrict on m4a1 amx_restrict on sheild

I am sure you get the idea.
