AMXX Not Loading Modules or Plugins [SOLVED]

[scrow51]

Hello,
I'm hoping some server admin veterans could look over my problem here.

I have been trying to get a fresh install of HLDS Linux, Natural-Selection, Metamod, and Amxmodx. I've gotten everything installed and running properly except for Amxmodx. I have tried version 1.01 of Amxmodx with no luck, the following example outputs are of version 1.00 with the same problems. Thank you for any assistance! :)

This is what my server looks like when it runs;
Auto detecting CPU
Using Pentium II Optimised binary.
Enabling debug mode
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Updating server using Steam.
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
Checking/Installing 'Linux Server Engine' version 16

Checking/Installing 'Half-Life Base Content' version 7

HLDS installation up to date

As you can see Metamod is loading, Amxmodx is loading, it "appears" that the [FUN], [ENGINE], [FAKEMETA], and [NS] modules are loading, but when I run amxx modules and amxx plugins it shows nothing. Shouldn't this show those modules loaded?

One thing I noticed strange about the core.ini file is that the addons/amxmodx/data/vault.ini file is not included with amxmodx-1.00-tar.gz or amxmodx-1.01.tar.gz. Neither are the files, addons/amxmodx/data/dictionary.cache or addons/amxmodx/data/languages.dat.

Here is my liblist.gam file;

Here is my addons/metamod/plugins.ini file;
linux addons/amxmodx/dlls/amxmodx_mm_i386.so

This is the command I use to start my server;

amxmodx-1.01.tar.gz
amxmodx-ns-1.01.tar.gz

Thanks again for any help.

the vault.ini file will be created when playing

adn command for plugins and modules is
amx_modules
amx_plugins

[scrow51]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the commands amx_plugins and amx_modules only works from the client, not the server console?

I don't think I can run those commands because amx is not loading any plugins. Specifically the admincmd.amxx plugin needs to be loaded in order to issue those commands?

[f1del1ty.oXi]

and in any case, it's amxx, not amx. amxx_modules, or amxx modules, and amxx plugins or amxx_plugins.

What I would try is to put custom plugins in plugins.ini for AMXX, restart the server, and make sure it's a plugin you can visually smoehow see working. Go into your server and check if it works.

If so, then the outputting of amxx_modules is not working, and someone should look into it. If not, then you've got a problem.

Does amx_help yeild anything? how about giving yourself admin?

Other than that good luck with this, this is very weird. And thanks for putting alot of effort into your post, always helps to hav alot of information!

[scrow51]

I discovered my problem. In my liblist.game file I had;
game "Natural Selection"
url_info "www.natural-selection.org"
url_dl "http://www.natural-selection.org/"
version "v3.0"
size "165000000"
svonly "0"
secure "0"
cldll "cl_dlls\client.dll"
hlversion "1110"
type "multiplayer_only"
nomodels "1"
nohimodel "1"
mpentity "info_mapinfo"

// gamedll "dlls\ns.dll"
gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"
gamedll_linux "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod_i386.so"

I needed to comment out the line;
// gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so"

Everything works now.

[f1del1ty.oXi]

I was curious about that myself, but when I looked in your console and saw that metamod read the ns.dll file and registered it fine, I took it back.

Glad it's working.

and in any case, it's amxx, not amx. amxx_modules, or amxx modules, and amxx plugins or amxx_plugins


very strange that amx_modules is working for me then..
anyway Im glad your prob is solved
