AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

I am proud to announce that AMX Mod X 1.8.0 is now released! This is a huge update, adding many features and fixing plenty of bugs.

For starters, admin and map limits are now completely dynamic. Command access flags can be changed without modifying plugin code. Plugin writers can now use dynamic arrays, and have a very powerful new "Ham Sandwich" module for hooking tons of private entity functions.

Links:
>> Downloads
>> Upgrading
>> Changelog

Plugins, as always, remain fully backwards compatible (except in one rare case for War3FT 3.0 Beta, noted in the changelog overview).

AMX Mod X 1.8.0 has been thoroughly beta tested, and has been running on over 250 servers, without complaint, for weeks. However, if you do discover a bug, please file one here rather than posting in the forums.

The web compiler will be updated in one to two weeks, followed by an announcement to notify everyone.

I would like to thank sawce, demigod and author of most additions to AMX Mod X 1.8, as well as recent promotions to the moderation/approval team: Roach, Hawk552, and Zenith77.

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

Ham Sandwich is a very powerful module by sawce which can hook and call virtual CBaseEntity functions on a variety of mods. For more information, see the hamsandwich.inc file.

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

Just a question to Bailopan - from that what I can see - it seems You are too much busy to work on AMX X, so the main work on 1.8.0 version sawce did. The question is - are You going to extend some of AMX X features in some future version of AMX X or You rather think only about bug-fixes version (if they will exist in 1.8.0)? The question is related to some features they were promised long time ago, but You are still too much busy to work on them.
Is possible 1.8.0 is one of the latest version of AMX X, because the main goal for You will be developing SourceMod and for AMX X there is no time (or maybe even the motivation)?

Anyaway thanks to sawce for making 1.8.0.

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

Nice, good job. I have one question: Per-Map Features prefix_de.cfg is overriden by maps cfg, like de_nuke.cfg right?

I think they will work in tandem if you configure them right, because as I believe the map config is loaded before the prefix config, however this may not be the case.

To be safe I would define specific CVARs in de_nuke.cfg and not place the same ones in the prefix_de.cfg

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

I think will be situation, when I set CVARS for (example) all de_ maps, but for certain de_ maps i will need some special setup...

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

Code:

public delayed_load()
{
    new configFile[128], curMap[64], configDir[128]

    get_configsdir(configDir, sizeof(configDir)-1)
    get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)

    new i=0;
    
    while (curMap[i] != '_' && curMap[i++] != '^0') {/*do nothing*/}
    
    if (curMap[i]=='_')
    {
        // this map has a prefix
        curMap[i]='^0';
        formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/prefix_%s.cfg", configDir, curMap);

        if (file_exists(configFile))
        {
            server_cmd("exec %s", configFile);
        }
    }

    get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)

    
    formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/%s.cfg", configDir, curMap)

    if (file_exists(configFile))
    {
        server_cmd("exec %s", configFile)
    }
    
}

Going by what the admin.sma the code suggests that all prefix based configs are loaded before a map specific configuration.

So I would guess that if you make a map prefix config for de maps then creating a de_nuke configuration would override the prefix config in a matter of seconds later.

To test I would try using mp_timelimit ... set your server config to like 20 minutes. make a prefix_de.cfg and set it to 35 then make a de_nuke.cfg set it to 27 or something in the middle. If you have HLSW then you can most likely watch the changes just by monitoring the server, otherwise you'd have to look in the logs to see if it changed.

Alternatively you could use the log_amx scripting function of AMXX. This would make a lot easier to do cause then you dont have to try the test I mentioned above, and easier to read in the amxx logs.

Code:

public delayed_load()
{
    new configFile[128], curMap[64], configDir[128]

    get_configsdir(configDir, sizeof(configDir)-1)
    get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)

    new i=0;
    
    while (curMap[i] != '_' && curMap[i++] != '^0') {/*do nothing*/}
    
    if (curMap[i]=='_')
    {
        // this map has a prefix
        curMap[i]='^0';
        formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/prefix_%s.cfg", configDir, curMap);

        if (file_exists(configFile))
        {
            server_cmd("exec %s", configFile);
            log_amx("Prefix based configuration file loaded. File is %s", configFile); // Prefix configuration loaded and logged.
        }
    }

    get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)

    
    formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/%s.cfg", configDir, curMap)

    if (file_exists(configFile))
    {
        server_cmd("exec %s", configFile)
        log_amx("Map based configuration file loaded. File is %s", configFile); // Map configuration loaded and logged.
    }
    
}

Edit

And here is your answer

L 10/27/2007 - 06:32:39: -------- Mapchange to fy_snow --------
L 10/27/2007 - 06:32:45: [admin.amxx] Prefix based configuration file loaded. File is addons/amxmodx/configs/maps/prefix_fy.cfg
L 10/27/2007 - 06:32:45: [admin.amxx] Map based configuration file loaded. File is addons/amxmodx/configs/maps/fy_snow.cfg

But what would be the case for plugin based configurations if the Devs could answer that one?

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

We will not be handling any bug reports through the forums. Please post in the bug tracker.

Prefixed map plugin files are not superseded by anything; prefix-de would be loaded after de_nuke.

Re: AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

Was this overlooked: stock const AMXX_VERSION_STR[] = "1.8.0.3660";
or are you keeping that svn form now?
