Small Update Release + Downtime

[BAILOPAN]

We've released a quick patch to the core DLL (amxmodx_mm). This fixes a problem where running Metamod-p could cause AMX Mod X to crash when using modules. If you're not running Metamod-p, there is no reason to get these updates.

For more information about the problem, click here (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=11160), or to get the downloads, visit the downloads (http://www.amxmodx.org/downloads.php) page and update your base package, or download the binaries attached to this post. Thanks to evilspy for quickly diagnosing and fixing the problem.

Lastly, you may have noticed a bit of downtime today. I apologize for this, I was applying some patches and accidentally damaged some packages. It's all set now.

oh poor PM
never mind this...
u guys r always great~~~ 8)

i spent some nights figuring out why my servers always crashed :?. thanks for this patch :D


btw: the statsx language file contains the same wrong translation as the first version which i reported as soon as i noticed it. simply search für "Sieger" and replace it with "Opfer".
explanation for non-germans: its the headline above the list of your victims (its actually is named VICTIMS). but the standard file contains the word "Sieger" which means something like winner. doesnt really fit ... should be replaced since every admin who knows how to change it has to edit the file everytime.
could you please update the language file from stats this time? its just some minor thing but very annoying bcause you see it every round ;)

I have a question...

I get this when running amxmox v.1.01 with metamod-p

L 03/19/2005 - 21:12:05: [META] ERROR: dll: Not loading plugin 'Fun'; already loaded (status=running)
L 03/19/2005 - 21:12:05: [META] ERROR: dll: Failed to load plugin 'fun_amxx.dll'
L 03/19/2005 - 21:12:05: [META] ERROR: dll: Not loading plugin 'CStrike'; already loaded (status=running)
L 03/19/2005 - 21:12:05: [META] ERROR: dll: Failed to load plugin 'cstrike_amxx.dll'

L 03/19/2005 - 21:12:05: [META] dll: Finished loading 3 plugins

and if comment those modules in the modules.ini i dont get thoses errors, instead i get errors about that i need to load those modules..

My question is should i run it with the modules uncommented and ignore the meta errors?
Does the meta errors affect the server in anyway and perhaps could make it to crash??
Am i doing something wrong that is causing the meta errors, if yes what am i doing wrong and what should i do??

[Mborman]

are you sure you have "a quick patch to the core DLL (amxmodx_mm)" installed?

[BigBaller]

ViPer

You dont place any modules other then amxmodx_mm.dll inside of the metamod plugins.ini

All AMX MOD X Modules are ran thru the AMX MOD X modules.ini located in the configs directory.

I dunno if thats your problem, but to me it looks like your trying to load both modules at the same time via modules.ini and metamod plugins.ini .. Only use the modules.ini

You have nothing to worry about.
Thats just the way metamod 1.17.4p20 does it.

From Hullu
I think I change all non-critical 'error'-messages in mm-p21 to 'warning'-messages or 'note' or something

Ok, thx everyone for your quick answers

[ronin]

I get the same issue

[Mborman]

after 1.01 was released a patch... (patched amxmodx_mm.dll)

[ViPer]

Sry if i´m not understanding you Mborman, but if what you are trying to ask me is, if i downloaded the patch? The answer is no, i downloaded the entire full install after it was updated to v1.01, and as far as i can tell from what BAILOPAN wrote that´s also ok

[Herpies the Terrible!!!]

everytime i try to run the installer i get an error

a run-time '5' error;
Invalid procedure call or argument

Just download the zip files and install manually then.

i have just done that for someone lol it worked alright

Hi,

I got a big problem :(

Since I updated AMX Mod X our Server crashs a lot and don't restart agian.

I tested a lot and can now say that it's defently not because of Metamod.
I tried out the new Metamod-p. Than I changed back to the normal.
But it didn't help.

So it's defently because of AMX. I changed nothing. I just updated the binaries of AMX. (also the modules)

So, where is the problem? Can somebody help me? Why I'm the only one, who has the problem? I'm sure I did everything right.

k4n!

[Dorksville]

your plugins might be only for amx and u might need to change the code in libgist

[ronin]

Mine does the same thing (cept it comes back up)

It only happens at map change.

Reverting Metamod had no effect.

At this point I am considering restoring the older AMXX mod

[|BBC|k4n!]

Sorry, maybe I didn't understand you, Dorksville.
But the plugins are all for AmX Mod X and everything worked fine with the version 1.00.

Then I updated AMXX (including the bugfix for metamod-p, because I wanted to use it) to version 1.01.

Thanks ronin, that you tell it.
Now I'm know that I'm not the only n00b who has problems :)

k4n!

[PM]

Is this linux or windows?

[ronin]

Mine is a linux server

just load the new .dll file wich is posted in the head of this topic...

[|BBC|k4n!]

Mine is also Linux ^^

[One shot dont miss!]

Here i go n00b ? comming up umm wuts the diff betwwen metamod p and metamod 1.0.41 or wutever wuts the advantages

* Hardcoded linkents have been replaced with dynamic linkents. No large list of entities that get outdated fast as new mods come and old ones update.
* Extra enginecallback function slots, for future engine updates. Valve have to add 128 new functions before Metamod-P gets out of date.
* Autodetects gamedll for unknown/new mods (so you don't have to use metamod-config to make Metamod-P work on those mods).
* Because of reasons above, you basicly never need to update metamod again anymore. This works all future mods and updates.
* Better performance/less CPU usage than original Metamod.
