Galileo 1.1.290 Download – CS 1.6 Map Vote and RTV Plugin
Last updated: October 1, 2026
Galileo 1.1.290 is a map vote plugin for cs 1.6 servers running AMX Mod X. It replaces AMXX’s own mapchooser and Deagles’ Map Manager. The three main features are rock the vote (rtv), map nominations and runoff voting, plus extend map, recent map bans and a separate map cycle for empty servers.
Everything is set in one commented file, galileo.cfg. Below: Counter-Strike 1.6 galileo download, installation, player and server commands, and the full list of galileo cvars.

What the galileo rtv plugin does
- Rock the vote: players type
rtvto request an early map vote. A vote starts when enough players rock - Map nominations: players nominate maps for the next vote. You set how many nominations each player gets
- Runoff voting: if no map gets over 50% of the votes, a second vote runs between the top two maps
- Weighted admin votes: admins with chosen flags count as more than one vote
- Extend map: players can vote to extend the current map
- Recent map ban: recently played maps cannot be voted again
- Empty server map cycle: switches to a separate map cycle when the server is empty
- Vote status and countdown: shows vote progress and a countdown for players who have not voted
- Paginated map lists: large map lists are shown in pages so players do not get disconnected
- Server restart action: stay on the map, return to the last map, start a vote or pick a random map after restart

Galileo not working – what to check
Non-Steam servers are not officially supported by the plugin author. If galileo does not start a vote, first make sure no other map chooser is running. When asking for help in plugin support threads, include the output of these server console commands:
status meta list amxx plugins amxx cvars
Without server console access, run the same commands from your game console with rcon in front, after setting rcon_password. From amxx cvars include only the lines for galileo.amxx, and leave the player list out of status.
To change maps manually as an admin, see the map commands in the cs 1.6 admin commands list. Need maps for the vote? Try the cs 1.6 assault maps pack. Players without the game can get the CS 1.6 download here.
