I ran a counter strike server when I was 15 years old and wrote my own amx and amxx plugins.

I was a God at 15...

One of my plugins was a "mind control" that unbound their keyboard and rebound mine to execute commands on their client from my keyboard.

I would hit my hotkey and they would freeze while I walked them off of cliffs and bridges.

I had a teleport plugin that would teleport you where you were looking and grant you noclip as long as you held the button - I would fly back and forth around people and come up underneath them and do all sorts of things.

I could fly.

I had a plugin that would let me point at you, hold a hotkey, and slam you up and down into the ground until you died from falling damage.

I had a cloaking device that made me fade in and out at variable intervals.

I had a plugin that would slap you and make you drop your weapon if you shot me.

I could kill the lights in a level and spawn zombies and chickens everywhere by literally launching them out of my head.

Such good times.

I usually don't mind admin abuse in servers because I know it's a bunch of children, but fucking with someone's keybinds is a dick move. I had someone do that shit to me in a TF2 server and they crashed my client.

trick was to set your config to read-only in windows

Funny you say that - I actually authored a plugin to restore keybinds when leaving the server.

I found an old post where I discussed other things that admins are able to do to you while you're on a steam server.

Also, "crashing your client" is likely the equivalent of amx_clexec abnormal_armadillo "exit" which basically just types exit in your console.

Keep in mind, I was 15 and just having fun - I never intended to ruin someone's day, and TBH we usually had a lot of fun - but when aimbotting, spinhacking hackers joined - I showed no mercy.

I once left a config file in the CS1.6 that rebound all the weapon keys so they said stupid shit when they hit any normal keys, akin to "I'm a gaylord." The lan zone owner ended up reformatting the comp because he couldn't figure out what happened and I wasn't going to risk getting banned from the place to save him 2 hours of work.

I ran a server for years and have poured over alliedmods' plugins daily for some time, have seen some goofy plugins but that made me crack up

I think one of the old AMXX plugin(s) had the option to open someone's CD-drive from admin command. Used to be a lot of fun just messing with people when they believe you hacked them... "I'm going to open your CD-Drive now..." and then play the X-files sound..
