CS 1.6 AFK Manager AMXX Plugin – AFK Kick and Spectator

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Counter-Strike 1.6 AFK Manager v1.0.6 is an AFK plugin for cs 1.6 and Condition Zero. It finds players who stopped playing and handles them automatically: alive AFK players are moved to spectator, AFK spectators are kicked, and an AFK bomb carrier loses the bomb to a teammate.

Use this CS 1.6 afk manager amxx plugin on public counter-strike 1.6 servers where idle players block slots or leave their team a player short.

What the cs 1.6 afk plugin does

• AFK detection: checks if the player presses any buttons, with an optional check of aim movement
• AFK to spectator: alive AFK players are moved to spectator. If this is turned off, they are kicked instead
• AFK spectator kick: kicks AFK players in spectator, optionally only when the server is full – so slots open up for new players
• AFK bomb transfer: gives the bomb to the nearest active terrorist, or makes an AFK bomb carrier drop it, so the round does not stall
• Admin immunity: optional immunity for admins for each feature
• AFK team notice: a HUD message tells alive players when the whole enemy team is AFK

Install afk manager on a cs 1.6 server

First check your AMX Mod X version with amxx version in the server console. The ZIP already has compiled files for both versions – no compiling needed.

1. Extract afk.zip
2. Pick the .amxx for your AMX Mod X version and upload it to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/:
   • AMX Mod X 1.8.2 or older: afk_manager_1-8-2.amxx
   • AMX Mod X 1.8.3, 1.9 or newer: afk_manager_1-8-3.amxx
3. Upload afk_manager.txt to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/data/lang/
4. Add the same file name on a new line in configs/plugins.ini, for example afk_manager_1-8-3.amxx
5. Restart the server and check with amx_plugins that the AFK manager is running

Install only one of the two versions. Requirements from the plugin: CS 1.6 or Condition Zero, AMX Mod X 1.8.x or newer, Steam server.

Compiling the afk plugin yourself

Only needed if you change the source. For the 1.8.2 version, put colorchat.inc into addons/amxmodx/scripting/include/ before compiling. The 1.8.3 version does not need it, because colored chat is built into newer AMX Mod X. You can also use the online sma to amxx compiler.

AFK manager settings – afk_manager.cfg

The 1.8.3 version creates its config file automatically in addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins/ on the first start. Open it to set AFK times, kick rules, immunity and bomb handling – each cvar has a description in the file. Change the values, save and restart the server or change the map.

The 1.8.2 version does not create this file. Its cvars and default values are listed at the top of afk_manager_1-8-2.sma.

AFK plugin not working – what to check

• Plugin fails to load: the wrong version for your AMX Mod X. Check amxx version and use the matching .amxx
• No config file appears: you are running the 1.8.2 version, which does not create one
• Messages show as strange keys: afk_manager.txt is missing from data/lang/
• Admins get kicked or moved: enable admin immunity in the config
• Players kicked twice or too early: another AFK plugin or the server’s mp_autokick is also active. Use one AFK system
