Using the menu
This part will explain how to use the menu.

The menu is one of the best features of AMX Mod X. With one simple bind you can access a lot of features that include kicking, slapping, slaying, banning, etc. To bind the AMXX menu, open your console and type "bind j amxmodmenu". You can use any key you want. In this example I used "j" as my key. Quickly you'll discover all of the features of AMXX's menu system. To go forward, you simply press 9. To go back, you press 8. To exit the menu, you press 0. Now when you ban/slay/slap someone, you'll notice there's another part to the menu that appears before "Exit/Back." You can choose between different options by pressing that key. You can press it more than once for different options.

That's pretty much all you need to know about the menu.

Using commands through your console
This part will explain how to use the basic AMX Mod X console commands.

Even if you do use the menu for AMXX, you'll still need to know how to use commands. Usually if you type a command incorrectly, it'll display it's usage. For "on and off" commands (most common in third-party plugins) you usually would use "0" for OFF and "1" for ON. Some of the basic commands are: amx_kick, amx_slap, amx_slay, amx_ban. I will show you how to use this and hopefully you will know how to use the other commands as well.

When using amx_kick you have 2 parameters: name and reason. The reason parameter is optional. You don't need it to kick someone, but it comes in handy when you have people coming back asking "Why did I get kicked??". An example of this command would be: amx_kick "Mad Dog^" "owning too much". That would kick anyone that has that name, or even that text in their name (I will explain that at the end of this section) and it'll say "Kicked: owning too much" when they get disconnected.

You also have two parameters when using amx_slap: name and slap damage. If you want to do a friendly slap without doing any damage, you would put "0" for the second parameter.

Using the command, amx_slay, requires only one parameter, the player's name.

When banning someone via console, they're three parameters: name, minutes, and the optional reason. If you are banning someone permanently, use "0" for the minutes. Use "1440" for one day, "10080" for one week, and "302400" for approx. one month.

Note: When using a player's name, you do not need to enter their full player name. Just make sure there are no other players with the same text in their name.

Using the chat commands
This part will explain how to use the many chat commands.

One of the many reasons I love AMX Mod X is because of their chat system. You no longer need to go through console to use the tsay and admin chat commands.

The way to use the chat version of tsays is by putting an "@" symbol in front of your message. Most people don't get what I'm talking about, so just put an "@" symbol before your message in chat and it'll bring it up as a tsay. You can fool around with colors, too. For example (red tsay): @r teehee this is my message!. You can also use multiple "@" symbols. Each one will put the text in a different part of the screen. Example (a green message in the middle): @@g Mad Dog^ is teh pwnz0r. Now if you were to use the console command, you would have to type amx_tsay green "Mad Dog^ is teh pwnz0r". It's more to type, so I recommend using the chat version!

If you wish to use AMXX's admin chat, then simply use team chat with the "@" symbol in front of your message to speak to the other admins. This replaces the use of amx_chat.

If you want to talk to a single player, privately, use amx_psay. This will send a message to the player you specify. Nobody else can read it, not even other admins. Example: amx_psay Dog^ "sup DOOD?"

Full list of chat commands and their parameters:
Note: When you type more than one word in a message, be sure to put quotes around it!
