AMX Gag Download – CS 1.6 amx_gag Plugin to Mute Players

Last updated: October 1, 2026

AMX Gag (AMXX Gag 1.3 by xPaw & Exolent) is an AMX Mod X plugin that lets admins gag players in cs 1.6 – block their chat, team chat or voice without kicking or banning them. The player keeps playing, but cannot spam chat or the microphone until the gag runs out.

Use the amx_gag plugin against chat spam, advertising, insults and mic spam on your counter-strike 1.6 server. Below: amx_gag download, all gag commands with the exact syntax from the plugin source, the gag menu and installation.

amx_gag command – how to gag a player

amx_gag <nick or #userid> <seconds> <a|b|c>

Gag time is in seconds, not minutes. The maximum is 86400 seconds (24 hours) – a longer value is cut down to 86400. There is no permanent gag in this version.

• No time and no flags: the player is gagged for 600 seconds (10 minutes) from chat, team chat and voice
• Time but no flags: all three (abc) are blocked
• Flags can be combined, for example ab for both chats

amx_gag "SpamKing"
amx_gag "SpamKing" 1800 ab
amx_gag #123 3600 c
amx_gag "MicAbuser" 86400 abc

Line 1: 10 minutes, everything blocked. Line 2: 30 minutes, chat and team chat. Line 3: one hour, voice only. Line 4: 24 hours, everything. Find a player’s #userid with the status command. If you type the command without arguments, the console shows the flag list.

amx_ungag – remove a gag

amx_ungag <nick or #userid>
amx_ungag @all

amx_ungag @all removes all active gags at once.

amx_gagmenu – gag menu

amx_gagmenu opens a menu with the players on the server. It is faster than typing during a match:

• Keys 1-6 pick the player
• Key 7 opens the flags menu, where you turn chat, team chat and voice on or off
• Key 8 switches the gag time: 60, 300, 600, 1800, 3600, 7200 or 86400 seconds, plus an Ungag mode for removing gags

Players with immunity and your own name show as disabled. Bind the menu to a key:

bind "o" "amx_gagmenu"

Change gag menu times – amx_gag_times

The menu times can be changed with a server command. Put it in server.cfg or amxx.cfg, since it only works from the server console. Values are in seconds, each above 0 and at most 86400:

amx_gag_times 120 600 1800 3600 86400

How amx_gag works on the server

• Gags follow the player’s ID. A gagged player who reconnects is still gagged on the same map. On servers where several players share the same ID, a gag can affect all of them
• Gags reset on map change. The plugin keeps gags in memory only, so a new map clears all of them
• Gagged players cannot change their name while chat or team chat is blocked
• The gagged player sees the time left when trying to write in chat
• Admins are told when a gagged player disconnects
• Every gag and ungag is logged in the AMX Mod X logs with the admin’s and player’s name

Install amx_gag plugin on a cs 1.6 server

AMX Mod X must already be installed on the server.

1. Extract amxgag.rar with WinRAR or 7-Zip
2. Upload the .amxx file to cstrike/addons/amxmodx/plugins/
3. Open cstrike/addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini and add the plugin file name on a new line, for example amx_gag.amxx
4. Make sure the engine module is enabled in configs/modules.ini – the plugin needs it
5. Restart the server and type amx_plugins in the console – AMXX Gag should show as running

amx_gag not working – what to check

• “You have no access to that command”: all gag commands need the kick access flag, which is c in users.ini
• Cannot gag a player: the player has immunity (flag a), or it is a bot. The plugin skips both
• “The value must be in seconds!”: the time must be a whole number, without letters like m or h
• “User is already gagged!”: ungag the player first, then gag again with the new time or flags
• Gag disappeared: the map changed, or the time ran out
• Two gag plugins: some admin packs include their own amx_gag. Run only one, or the commands will conflict

For kick, ban, slay and other moderation commands see the cs 1.6 admin commands list. To keep bans in a database with a web panel, use AMXBans 6.13. Players without the game can get the Counter-Strike 1.6 download here.
