This is a quick news update to showcase the latest addition to SourceMod - SQL support. SourceMod now has a uniform and extensible database interface for both C++ and scripts.
The system is uniform because, no matter what backend you use, the natives stay the same. And it's extensible because multiple backends (drivers) can be supported. Currently we've got an extension for MySQL, and an SQLite one will be coming soon. Any number can be loaded at once, and SourceMod auto-loads the drivers as it needs them.
The "default" database can be configured through configs/databases.cfg.
If you're a developer and interested in how you can use the new SQL API in your plugins, check out the
SQL article on the wiki.
We've also finally added "PrintToChat" and "PrintCenterText" natives so scripters don't have to craft usermessages anymore.
Lastly, Metamod:Source beta 1.5, which has a number of delicious changes from PM OnoTo (including vtable-wide hooks) has gotten some good feedback. If you've put it in your server and forgot to say whether it worked, please drop us a line
here.
Thanks for your support, and enjoy!
