AlliedModders - [Bash] Autoupdate the AMXX to the latest version [1.9 / 1.10]

I've modified compile.sh and created update.sh to simplify the process of compiling plugins and updating AMXX on unix based operating systems.
More information and examples shown below.

Successfully installed

NOTE: All files inside configs directory that were set as 'replace' can be found at addons/amxmodx/configs/backup folder

- Setup the autoupdater
Run ./update.sh --setup and specify the game that the server is currently running.
To setup the autoupdate the current version of AMXX must be either 1.9 or 1.10, which you can see it at ./compile.sh --version
If you get an error saying amxxpc does not exists then the only option is to update the game files using ./update.sh --update
The autoupdater loads a hidden file (addons/amxmodx/scripting/.save_data) that this file is created after successfully updating using ./update.sh --update.
The scripts checks if there's a new version and if so it automatically updates without user interaction.
Note: You must run --update then use --auto

- How to lauch autoupdater every server restart?
Firstly you need the .save_data file to load the configurations.
If you are missing the file, you can create one yourself or get it from updating the files: ./update.sh --update
If you are not able to use the terminal, you can create a dummy file and set the build version to a random number which will cause the autoupdater think that this is an old version and updated the files for you
Dummy file

Code:

.save_data >

game=cstrike

amxx=1.9

build=1234

configs=0000000100000000

The numbers in the configs are the files listed alphabetically, which 0 stands for 'to not replace' and 1 'to replace'.
The autoupdater will loop through each value and compare it with the files and decide if this file should be replaced or not.

After setting up .save_data modify the server start options as shown below:
bash <gamemod>/addons/amxmodx/scripting/update.sh --auto && <your-current-server-start-script>
e.g: bash cstrike/addons/amxmodx/compile.sh --auto && screen -S server ./hlds_run -game cstrike -port 27015 +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 32 +sys_tickrate 512 +fps_max 512

Or your can run a side bash script to auto update
Note: Repacing modules meanwhile the server is running may cause the server to crash.
screen -S autoupdate ./autoupdate.sh

Code:

autoupdate.sh >

#!/bin/bash



while [ true ]; then

    bash cstrike/addons/amxmodx/update.sh --auto

    sleep 24h # execute the script every 24 hours

done

How to use the commands?
If your server is running either 1.9 or 1.10, you can setup the autoupdater and run the autoupdate.sh script.
./update.sh --setup
If your server is on a older version, you can update to 1.9 or 1.10 and lauch the autoupdate.sh script.
./update.sh --update
