Where does shconfig.cfg go and such?

[kanu | DarkPredator]

I downloaded an autoinstaller of superheromod ( i think from your site), and installed it, and my server worked fine for two hours.
Then i was looking around the files and realized i don't have shconfig.cfg.
Is that possible?
What folder is it supposed to be in?
If I do have it it is extremely well hidden, if not do I need it?

As well, I booted my server back up after installing a crapload of heroes from you guys, and now the /showmenu doesnt work.
I know you will say to tell you specifics, but I don't know how to find a log of errors, Plz help.

[kanu | DarkPredator]

I uninstalled all my heroes except the normal basic ones and the problems above persist.

[jtp10181]

I do not support the autoinstallers. Get the current AMX version and read the install docsumentation and update your install to the newest one.

I hope yo have AMX anyway.... or do you have AMXX?

jtp10181 -> Why don't you support the autoinstallers ?
I think it is much easyer to use one of those
Plus you don't have to explain 100 times where shconfig goes...

[jtp10181]

the autoinstallers are old and have old versions. Also I don't even know if they set everything up correctly.

Plus its just a plugin, its not hard to install.... if you need an installer just to install an AMX plugin you should not be running a server.

[kanu | DarkPredator]

umm, could you tell me the folder where shconfig.cfg goes?

i got the file (shconfig.cfg) from your download, but i dont know where to put it.

Other question: do i have to write in all the cvars into shconfig.cfg for the extra heroes?

[jtp10181]

well if you read the docs you would see that the folders are all laid out in the zip, so since the shconfig.cfg is in the root of the zip it goes in the amx folder.

and if you want to change cvars for extra herso you should add them to the shconfig.cfg

[kanu | DarkPredator]

i have installed my extra heroes, but the ppl in the server can choose heroes of any level. I want to restrict the heroes to certain lvls. HOw do i do this?. This is my shconfig.cfg:

--The end

BTW, i found out that I *was* running my server properly for 2 hours without even having shconfig.cfg which is really weird.

[Chivas2973]

just so you know, the cfg is only to modify the default cvars that are in the mod and or the hero, so with out it, all heros and mod run on default, which isn't bad at all

make sure your shconfig.cfg is in the amx folder and see if in console when you start server if it says that shconfig.cfg was started

[jtp10181]

also with some servers the heros get loaded before the config file so the cvars are not used right away. Please change maps and see if the cvars take effect.
