How to find SM & MM Version Number

Potato Uno · **Author**

Is there a way to find the version number for SM & MM from within the /addons/ directory alone? Is it stored in some text file just like steam.inf contains the server version?

While I was searching for such a file, I found this on my server: "blacklist.plugins.txt" What is it and why does it exist?

Thanks!

If you have sm logs enabled , you will see an entry for sm version at the start of each log file

For Windows you can look at the dll files properties, there is no sane way for both on Linux - running something like the following should work

Code:

strings path/to/binary.so | grep '^1\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'

Code:

[root@fennec ~]# strings addons/metamod/bin/metamod.2.tf2.so | grep '^1\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'
1.11.0-dev+998
[root@fennec ~]# strings addons/sourcemod/bin/sourcemod.2.tf2.so | grep '^1\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'
1.8.0.5757
[root@fennec ~]# tar -xzf sourcemod-1.7.3-git5272-linux.tar.gz 
[root@fennec ~]# strings addons/sourcemod/bin/sourcemod.2.tf2.so | grep '^1\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'
1.7.3-dev+5272

blacklist.plugins.txt contains the hashes of malicious (those with URLs) or illegally-distributed plugins that are blocked from loading.

This is on windows. What dll files do I need to peek into to get the version numbers? There are like 40 and opening them in notepad++ isn't exactly pleasant.

I'm searching for this information so that I know if the server has the latest SM/MM version or needs an SM/MM update, etc.

EDIT: The SM VM dll (sourcepawn.jit.x86.dll) has "1.7.3-dev+5272" in it. Need to find metamod next.

EDIT 2: I found it in metamod.2.tf2.dll but it's a mess. Come on guys, can't you do something like add a "version.txt" with the build number in it for newer snapshots? From an automatic upgrading standpoint it would be fantastic.

I quite clearly said properties, not a text editor (and included paths to files that have version info for both in my Linux example.)

That's not helpful for the automatic SM/MM updater I'm making. I need to be able to get it from file I/O.

So unless there's a way to get that exact information from running something on the OS command line it looks like I have to regex the dll (which is nasty).

There are command line tools that will dump it, or since you're on Windows and trying to script something, perhaps you're using PowerShell:

Code:

(Get-Item sourcemod.2.csgo.dll).VersionInfo.FileVersion
1.8.0.5715

addons/sourcemod/scripting/include/version_auto.inc also contains all the info you need.
