AMX Mod X anti-cheat
The CS 1.6 ImpactGuard runtime is an AMXX plugin with a normal configs/plugins layout — not a Metamod-only CS2 port.
AMX Mod X is still the extension layer most CS 1.6 hosts actually run. ImpactGuard’s GoldSrc product is written for that world: a compiled plugin, a cfg next to the other plugin configs, and a license the panel already issued for CS2.
Folder rules that avoid broken installs
- Extract into
cstrike/soaddons/amxmodx/plugins/receivesIGAC_CS16.amxx. - Do not leave the compiled binary under a
scriptingfolder. If you unpacked a messy archive, move the.amxxtoplugins. - Enable it the same way you enable any AMXX plugin (plugins.ini or your host’s equivalent).
- Set
igac_license_keyinIGAC.cfg. Keys look likeIG-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX.
ReHLDS note
Plenty of modules run on stock AMXX. Anti-ESP that blocks models, sound, and physents expects ReHLDS / ReGameDLL / ReAPI. If those are missing, treat ESP protection as off and keep detection/logging honest.

Questions operators ask
Do I need the .sma source?
No. Production zips ship the compiled .amxx in the AMXX plugins folder. You do not compile on the game server.
Where is the license cvar?
igac_license_key inside addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins/IGAC.cfg.
