Please take notice AMX Mod 2005 is NOT an upgrade from AMXModX. It is the newest version of the original AMXMod (Not X)

I looked at it myself and some of the stuff they added looks promising, I have not loaded it up yet to test with it.
They actually added some new features AMXX does not have, nothing useful to superhero though really.

switching to amx is wortless and waste of time. best thing to do is update to amxx.

yes, I agree. I just wanted to see what our members were doing.

Although I do like some of the features in the new AMX, coolest things being:

o admin
- added cvar amx_correct_usersfile (if set to 1, when reading users.ini, the
plugin will modify the lines if the user did some mistakes)

- added amx_loadadmins and amx_loadsqladmins (server commands); these commands
reload the admin accounts and the flags of all the players that are on the server

o cmdmenu

- added automatic precaching of sound files added to speech.ini (wav and mp3)
- added amx_plugcmdmenu : type this command, it will display a menu with the list
of all the plugins that contain commands you have access to, then choose a plugin,
it will display the list of the commands, then choose a command, the chat will
be triggered, type in the chat the arguments needed by the command and press enter,
the command will be executed with the arguments typed in the chat. When the chat is
triggered, if you press escape (which closes the chat) and you want to type
a message, you have to type "resetchat" in the chat (or wait 20s); you can also
type resetchat if you don't want to execute the command any more. If the
command needs no arguments, don't type anything in the chat and press enter.
- added amx_plugcvarmenu : type this command, it will display a menu with the list
of all the plugins that contain cvars you can modify, then choose a plugin,
it will display the list of the cvars, then choose a cvar, the chat will be
triggered, type in the chat the new value of the cvar and press enter,
the value of the cvar will be changed. When the chat is triggered, if you
press escape (which closes the chat) and you want to type a message, you have
to type "resetchat" in the chat (or wait 20s) ; you can also type resetchat
if you don't want to change the value of the cvar any more.
- added amx_plugcmdmenu [pluginname.amx / plugin name] option so that you can
bind a key and display a menu with the commands of a plugin automatically
- added amx_plugcvarmenu [pluginname.amx / plugin name] option so that you can
bind a key and display a menu with the cvars of a plugin automatically

o plugmod manager
- modifies amx/config/plugins.ini and amx/config/modules.ini
according to the contents of amx/plugins and amx/modules folders


I was actually quite impressed with the changelog, but it is just a changelog. I have not actually tried it yet. I was surprised they actually came up with some of thier own ideas instead of only stealing things from AMXModX. Since AMXModX is no virtually near a done state, I would hope some of these cool features could be picked up and added to that now :).

C'mon Freecode. I know you guys work hard on this stuff, and appreciate it.

I was just being honest.

I treated 1.6 and still am treating CZ like an old beater car. Drive her til she's dead, then dump it. But don't put any more $ or time into it.

10-13-2005, 18:06
hmm. well lets see the facts.
Game--------------------------Current Players-----Current Servers
Counter-Strike-------------------91,260----------------43,872
Counter-Strike: Source---------42,972----------------21,664

So since 1.6 and CZ is an old then "DANG" people these days love old cars. Its a CLASSIC!!
Second of all Source sucks ass! Its netcode is terrible. 1 Reason why CPL doesnt want to have championships for it.

Third. The SDK for Source sucks too. Untill valve decided to update their SDK to something that we can use, im not planning to make no superhero for source.

So you actually looked at all of the 1000s of lines of code, and understood it all, freecode? Dang you must have had alot of free time, I'm guessing?

no. all u have to look at is the structure and whats available and whats not.

10-13-2005, 18:12
Oh, I see, so you just looked at what functions do generally? And not go down to the nitty gritty detail of how those functions work? Yeah maybe I should do the same, cause I was trying to go down to the nitty gritty detail, and I can't remember anything lol. BTW, for the SDK movetype_angleclip and movetype_anglenoclip have been commented out, why?

10-13-2005, 18:19
ok enuff being off-topic.
all im gonna say is all i had to do is look at structures and what i am able to use freely vs what i have to hack in. And alot of stuff is hacking which is bad.

Okay on-topic then, I vote to stay with amxx, and not switch to amx mod 2005 beta, because of the fact that many of the developers abandoned the amx mod project.

This is the information I see (from gamers-search.de):
Counter-Strike - 40542 players
Condition Zero - 5152 players

Counter-Strike Source - 36270 players

The steam status pages probably include bots, I don't know...

I often check these stats and remember the days when HL1 Counter-Strike averaged around 100k players. The 1.6 and CZ have steadily declined while the CS:S increases. I won't argue which is a 'better' game, but I would argue that the future is in the HL2 engine.

Plus, for companies renting out gameservers (which I am not), you have to focus where the $ is. Most guys still playing 1.6 didn't ante up the cash for CS:Source, so they won't be buying any game servers either. I know you guys code for the love, but if you want the chance to make any $ from the work, you have to go where the money is.

I'm not here to dis anyone. I just want to encourage you guys to put your efforts where the opportunity for reward is greatest.

no steam doesnt include bots. Ur stats are very unaccurate.

1. This project has nothing to do with money. And were not here to make any money.
2. Truthfully speaking. HL2 engine isnt gonna last long unless they update their structure. Everytime they update SDK alot of mods are gonna break. Sooner or later people will get tired of that and leave.

lol whats better about amx 2005, theres are some improvements but they can just be ported to amxx. amxx and amx are nearly the same except amxx is coded MUCH better with ALOT more features and options.
