Half-life Admin MOD is a plugin mod designed to provide administrators with the ability to manage Half-Life servers.
One of the key features Half-life Admin MOD offers is its versatility; it works on dedicated and listen servers on the Internet and on a local area network. The software allows you to set different access levels for each authorized administrator, reserve server slots for administrators, make the server a "private" server only accessible by registered users, kick, ban, or gag disruptive players, change maps through direct commands or a vote, balance teams, restrict weapons, and more. With over 200 contributed scripts available, you can easily find a script to add even more features to your server.
The Admin Mod is compatible with all Half-Life based games that are compatible with Metamod; it can run on Windows and Linux/FreeBSD operating systems. It is currently used on over half of all Half-Life servers active on the Internet.
In the latest release, the software has added a 64bit Linux version for AMD64, revised the Windows installer install_admin.vbs to properly detect new Steam accounts and have a more consistent user interface. They've also added cvar_exists() scripting function to check if a cvar exists or not, get_timer() scripting function, valid_mapex() scripting function, and Admin Mod is now unloadable at any time. They've also allowed the use of the loopback IP 127.0.0.1 in the users.ini file. In addition, they've revised plugin_CS to add the possibility of deleting previously saved map and server default restrictions, added a console/screen message when saving/deleting default restrictions, added a submenu to the restriction menu "Restrictions defaults" which can save, delete, and apply the map and server default restrictions, fixed a bug where admin_restrict listed the longer list of items/weapons instead of the shorter one, improved version detection, using the new cvar_exists function, and implemented team- and playerspecific restrictions.
Overall, Half-life Admin MOD provides an easy and efficient way to administer your Half-Life server with multiple features and script support, and it's compatible with most Half-Life based games. It's no surprise that it is the go-to tool for many server administrators around the world.
