Minesweeper (Sapper) for AMX Mod X

An AMX Mod X plugin that implements the classic Minesweeper game right inside the in-game menu of Counter-Strike 1.6 (and other GoldSrc games with AMX Mod X support). No extra files for clients to download, no third-party modules — the board is drawn using the server's standard HUD menu.

Features

• 8×8 board with 10 mines (board size and mine count are easily configurable in the code).
• Cursor movement and cell opening/flagging directly from the game menu.
• Recursive flood-fill opening of empty areas — just like classic Minesweeper.
• Win/loss detection, with all mines revealed on defeat.
• Independent game state per player, so multiple players can play at once.
• Built-in extension points for win rewards and loss penalties.
• Multi-language support via a standard AMX Mod X dictionary file (English and Russian included out of the box).

Installation

1. Compile minesweeper.sma with amxxpc from the AMX Mod X SDK to produce minesweeper.amxx.
2. Place minesweeper.amxx into addons/amxmodx/plugins.
3. Add the line minesweeper.amxx to addons/amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini.
4. Place minesweeper.txt into addons/amxmodx/data/lang/ (see Localization below).
5. Restart the server (or change the map).

Requirements

• AMX Mod X 1.8.2 or newer.
• A GoldSrc-engine game with AMX Mod X support (e.g. Counter-Strike 1.6).

Configuration

At the top of minesweeper.sma:

#define GRID_W        8   // board width
#define GRID_H        8   // board height
#define MINES_COUNT   10  // number of mines

Win rewards and loss penalties are set up in the GiveWinRewards(id) and OnPlayerLost(id) functions — both are empty by default, so you can plug in your own logic there (money, score, damage, etc.).

Localization

All in-game text is loaded from minesweeper.txt via AMX Mod X's standard register_dictionary/multilingual system, so the board automatically displays in each player's language.

• Copy minesweeper.txt to addons/amxmodx/data/lang/minesweeper.txt on the server.
• The file ships with [en] and [ru] sections; add more [xx] language sections (using standard AMX Mod X two-letter language codes) to support additional languages.
• To change any text (or add a language), edit minesweeper.txt — no changes to minesweeper.sma are required.
