Hi, when I start up my server I am getting an log at the console :
client_disconnect forward has been disabled

And the plugins which have the forward just the part of "client_disconnect" does not work ...

Any suggestions?

Reinstall using amxmodx 1.8.2 maybe.

@LAWLIET: Make sure you did copy the whole /data/gamedata directory on your server, those file are mandatory. "client_disconnect" is by the way deprecated in 1.8.3-dev, use "client_disconnected" which is guaranteed to be paired with client_connect. Don't forget to stop/Start your server since such files are read one time at server start.


@SkumTomteN what the hell you're suggesting him.

That is confusing. Changing the tense on one but not the other makes them not seem like they are paired. "connect" and "disconnect" are both present tense while "connected" and "disconnected" are both past tense.

What made client_disconnect not "paired" with client_connect? I'm curious.

Not really the choice, we had to keep backward compatibility as always. We proposed at first client_drop, called only when player is dropped by engine (SV_DropClient, and by the way, pfnClientDisconnect is called inside), but because engine calls manually pfnClientDisconnect at specific place outside of this SV_ function, this means that from a pawn plugin, to catch all situations, you would need to hook client_disconnect and client_drop. This is awkward. That's why at the end we're using client_disconnected as a drop-in replacement of client_disconnect, this makes more sense and is more friendly for coder.

client_disconnect may not be be called in situation where a client got timeout before spawning in server, like while the loading process.

Yes, I am using 1.8.3 dev.

So I have to change the forward in my plugins to :
client_disconnected
as I understood ?

[Arkshine]

Sure.
