AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Released!

[BAILOPAN]

I am proud to announce that AMX Mod X 1.8.0 is now released! This is a huge update, adding many features and fixing plenty of bugs.

For starters, admin and map limits are now completely dynamic. Command access flags can be changed without modifying plugin code. Plugin writers can now use dynamic arrays, and have a very powerful new "Ham Sandwich" module for hooking tons of private entity functions.

Links:
>> Downloads (http://www.amxmodx.org/downloads.php)
>> Upgrading (http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Upgrading_Amx_Mod_X)
>> Changelog (http://wiki.alliedmods.net/AMX_Mod_X_1.8.0_Changes)

Plugins, as always, remain fully backwards compatible (except in one rare case for War3FT 3.0 Beta, noted in the changelog overview).

AMX Mod X 1.8.0 has been thoroughly beta tested, and has been running on over 250 servers, without complaint, for weeks. However, if you do discover a bug, please file one here (http://bugs.alliedmods.net/index.php?project=2&do=index) rather than posting in the forums.

The web compiler will be updated in one to two weeks, followed by an announcement to notify everyone.

I would like to thank sawce (http://forums.alliedmods.net/member.php?u=13800), demigod and author of most additions to AMX Mod X 1.8, as well as recent promotions to the moderation/approval team: Roach (http://forums.alliedmods.net/member.php?u=18191), Hawk552 (http://forums.alliedmods.net/member.php?u=6457), and Zenith77 (http://forums.alliedmods.net/member.php?u=6644).

[ConnorMcLeod]

Good Job.

Nice Job. :)

i searched the whole forum, but i dont found anything about this Module... What is it for? Oo

[NsHO]

I think Amxmodx 1.8 has some error from cstrike_amxx.dll modules

What? o_O... did you read the changelogs ? omg...


Ham Sandwich
Ham Sandwich is a very powerful module by sawce (http://wiki.alliedmods.net/User:Sawce) which can hook and call virtual CBaseEntity functions on a variety of mods. For more information, see the hamsandwich.inc (http://svn.alliedmods.net/viewvc.cgi/trunk/plugins/include/hamsandwich.inc?root=amxmodx&view=log) file.

Just a question to Bailopan - from that what I can see - it seems You are too much busy to work on AMX X, so the main work on 1.8.0 version sawce did. The question is - are You going to extend some of AMX X features in some future version of AMX X or You rather think only about bug-fixes version (if they will exist in 1.8.0)? The question is related to some features they were promised long time ago (http://bugs.alliedmods.net/index.php?do=details&task_id=28), but You are still too much busy to work on them.
Is possible 1.8.0 is one of the latest version of AMX X, because the main goal for You will be developing SourceMod and for AMX X there is no time (or maybe even the motivation)?

Anyaway thanks to sawce for making 1.8.0.

[James]

Nice, good job. I have one question: Per-Map Features prefix_de.cfg is overriden by maps cfg, like de_nuke.cfg right?

[BigBaller]

Nice, good job. I have one question: Per-Map Features prefix_de.cfg is overriden by maps cfg, like de_nuke.cfg right?

I think they will work in tandem if you configure them right, because as I believe the map config is loaded before the prefix config, however this may not be the case.

To be safe I would define specific CVARs in de_nuke.cfg and not place the same ones in the prefix_de.cfg

[James]

I think will be situation, when I set CVARS for (example) all de_ maps, but for certain de_ maps i will need some special setup...

[BigBaller]

public delayed_load()
{
new configFile[128], curMap[64], configDir[128]

get_configsdir(configDir, sizeof(configDir)-1)
get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)

new i=0;

while (curMap[i] != '_' && curMap[i++] != '^0') {/*do nothing*/}

if (curMap[i]=='_')
{
// this map has a prefix
curMap[i]='^0';
formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/prefix_%s.cfg", configDir, curMap);

if (file_exists(configFile))
{
server_cmd("exec %s", configFile);
}
}

get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)


formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/%s.cfg", configDir, curMap)

if (file_exists(configFile))
{
server_cmd("exec %s", configFile)
}

}

Going by what the admin.sma the code suggests that all prefix based configs are loaded before a map specific configuration.

So I would guess that if you make a map prefix config for de maps then creating a de_nuke configuration would override the prefix config in a matter of seconds later.

To test I would try using mp_timelimit ... set your server config to like 20 minutes. make a prefix_de.cfg and set it to 35 then make a de_nuke.cfg set it to 27 or something in the middle. If you have HLSW then you can most likely watch the changes just by monitoring the server, otherwise you'd have to look in the logs to see if it changed.

Alternatively you could use the log_amx scripting function of AMXX. This would make a lot easier to do cause then you dont have to try the test I mentioned above, and easier to read in the amxx logs.

public delayed_load()
{
new configFile[128], curMap[64], configDir[128]

get_configsdir(configDir, sizeof(configDir)-1)
get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)

new i=0;

while (curMap[i] != '_' && curMap[i++] != '^0') {/*do nothing*/}

if (curMap[i]=='_')
{
// this map has a prefix
curMap[i]='^0';
formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/prefix_%s.cfg", configDir, curMap);

if (file_exists(configFile))
{
server_cmd("exec %s", configFile);
log_amx("Prefix based configuration file loaded. File is %s", configFile); // Prefix configuration loaded and logged.
}
}

get_mapname(curMap, sizeof(curMap)-1)


formatex(configFile, sizeof(configFile)-1, "%s/maps/%s.cfg", configDir, curMap)

if (file_exists(configFile))
{
server_cmd("exec %s", configFile)
log_amx("Map based configuration file loaded. File is %s", configFile); // Map configuration loaded and logged.
}

}

Edit

And here is your answer
L 10/27/2007 - 06:32:39: -------- Mapchange to fy_snow --------
L 10/27/2007 - 06:32:45: [admin.amxx] Prefix based configuration file loaded. File is addons/amxmodx/configs/maps/prefix_fy.cfg
L 10/27/2007 - 06:32:45: [admin.amxx] Map based configuration file loaded. File is addons/amxmodx/configs/maps/fy_snow.cfg

But what would be the case for plugin based configurations if the Devs could answer that one?

[BAILOPAN]

We will not be handling any bug reports through the forums. Please post in the bug tracker.

Prefixed map plugin files are not superseded by anything; prefix-de would be loaded after de_nuke.

[vittu]

Was this overlooked: stock const AMXX_VERSION_STR[] = "1.8.0.3660";
or are you keeping that svn form now?

[RaYden]

Yeeeee congratz on the release :) keep'em coming

[BAILOPAN]

Was this overlooked: stock const AMXX_VERSION_STR[] = "1.8.0.3660";
or are you keeping that svn form now?

I'm not sure I understand the question -- but indeed, that is a revision number from SVN.

[lucKy]

Many thanks to the AMX Mod X 1.8.0 Team for all their hard work making our servers better. :)

[vittu]

I'm not sure I understand the question -- but indeed, that is a revision number from SVN.Meaning amxmodx 1.80 was released with the svn includes and is using that as the string version 1.8.0.3660. (Was it overlooked ie was it supposed to be released as just 1.80...)

[commonbullet]

Nice job!

[BAILOPAN]

vittu: with this release we've moved all our projects onto a more sane versioning scheme, that is, major.minor.maintenance.build. The old one was just plain silly.

So, it's 1.8.0, not 1.80, and the revision number is there for completeness (it's easier to keep it in because it makes more sense against nightly builds).

If I could go back in time and change 1.76c to, for example, 1.7.9, then I would :|

[jopmako]

Thank you!

[BigBaller]

I personally like the build number in the version. Makes things look sexy. Not to mention its easy to figure out if people are using "release" and/or "svn" versions of AMXX when trouble shooting.

By the way if it helps, I am willing to help out and use my server as a guinea pig, pm me.

Guys this isnt a support thread...this is a release thread. Support threads go in General AMXx Support / Help below.

If you are having major issues with the release and you think it is a bug in the release that was missed in the public beta test, file a bug report using the bug tracker link on the front page.

Is it likely to contain ctrl+tab / ctrl+1 / ctrl+F4 et c. standard tab-related shortucts ?
(switch to next tab, to first tab, close tab, repsectively)

And might Ctrl+Z just possibly be scoped to the particular tab you have open?

EDIT VV : Good call. I'll PM you.

Let's not turn this into a thread about PStudio. I'd answer your questions if I fully understood what you wanted to know.

[Nekso]

Web Compiler still not updated? or is just me that is having problems with it?

Besides the WebCompiler, any other way I can compile a plugin?
if yes, explain please :)

[KWo]

You can compile any plugin always locally. I have explained it about 10 times at the forum. Look for example here (it's example concerning to CSDM, but the way of compiling plugins locally is the same):

[philli]

okay,

after i upgraded to this version (not sure if it has anything to do with the new amx)..my server was hacked, and random ppl can add themselves onto the amxmod user.ini. This has become a big problemm! Is there some kind of amx backdoor??????

i couldnt post anyhwere else since im restricted to making a new post. This is why i posted in here.

*No its not my admins
*Rcon was changed and is very complicated to figure out
*No spy ware stuff on my comp
*No logs on any comp, im the only perosn that uses my comp.

[BAILOPAN]

There is no backdoor unless you created one (for example, by changing access levels in cmdaccess.ini). I suggest reinstalling your configuration files from scratch.

If you can't make new posts it means you did not activate your account.

oh wow, this sounds like it would help. Im really new to amx, but can get by how things work when looking at the actual files. I edited the cmdacess.ini , deleted amx_addadmin line so it cant be used. that will work yea?

The version does not work for server cs 1.5 :( or am I doing something wrong? :(

Sorry to ask here but, I use this with my cs, it doesn't work, other versions fine but this doesn't work.

[YamiKaitou]

If this doesn't work for you, then you are doing something incorrectly or you do not have your Steam server up-to-date. This isn't the place to be asking for support with it

This is better so far as I have tested

Nope. You can do 64-bit arithmetic by using two variables though (32-bit low and 32-bit high).
