so we need .sma and .inc file(s) right? what if there are more of them? like .sma .inc and .txt and cfgs???
what should we do? copy all of them to the include folder?

and this is my 1st post
so Hello guyz

[ANTICHRISTUS]

so..
this topic is about to compile some .sma files that request a specific .inc file, that the web compiler dosen't include.
the .txt, .cfg, .ini files aren't needed for the compilation process, you just need the .inc one. but which one ?!
open your .sma, and you'll find which non-official include (.inc file) do you need.

example of zp_zclasses40.sma:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>
#include <zombieplague>

Thanks!
really appreciate ur help .

I have 1 more question from u guys. (I am new to amx and I think this is the place to get some experience).

My Question is:
Why do we always compiling the .sma file(s)? We can just download the .amxx file and put it to the server plugins folder and link it via the plugins.ini file right?

but sometimes when I compared file sizes of a plugin (.amxx)that we downloaded from alliedmodders approved plugins section, with a plugin that I compiled on my pc from the source file (.sma) (compiled by AMX Studio) they are different.
I meant the original amxx file (directly downloaded from AlliedModders amxx file) is larger than the plugin that I compiled on my own pc.
Why is that?


and why we use .sma? why dont download the .amxx file?

• not all the time, but you must do it in some cases (my previous post).
• sometimes, some plugins should (and not must) br compiled locally, because the web compiler is making some little errors, I think like the Galileo plugin.
• in other cases, there are some problems with files that are compiled locally, and you need to use the web compiler, can't remember which cases.

but sometimes when I compared file sizes of a plugin (.amxx)that we downloaded from alliedmodders approved plugins section, with a plugin that I compiled on my pc from the source file (.sma) (compiled by AMX Studio) they are different. ... I meant the original amxx file (directly downloaded from AlliedModders amxx file) is larger than the plugin that I compiled on my own pc. Why is that?

• if it's a small difference, just don't care (can't find the right post of YamiKaitou about it).
• if it's a big difference then read my first post in this thread.

and why we use .sma? why dont download the .amxx file?

• when you upload a .sma file in your post, the "get plugin" link is instantaneously generated by the web compiler. but it only "contains" the default .inc files, the contrary of other web compilers (of other sites).

compile.exe is just a wrapper for amxxpc.exe in where it will compile all plugins found in the same directory

If you want the webcompiler, search for the hundred threads that ask the same question.

i have some platform based questions:

1. why plugins bigger which compiled on Linux? is it normal?
2. which platform better for compiling and why (Windows vs. Linux)?
3. does it matter what kind of system i use for compiling? for example:
i compiling plugins on Windows and upload to a Linux HLDS server.

i'm just curious. never thought about these before.

I only compile with Windows® and I only run servers on Linux. Therefore, you can compile on either one and it will work for both types of servers.

I've never actually compared the files between the two different compilers but it's mostly irrelevant as long as AMX Mod X can read them correctly.
