Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
I'm thinking about starting to make plugins, I started reading some of the guides, I understood some of it but I found it not very clear and un-detailed. I was wondering how long time it will take me to learn the basics and how hard it really is.
I'm 14, I know how to make website using html+css so im not a complete noob to stuff like this. I mean, will it take weeks to learn the very basics, or will it take a few days ? Also any other additional info for Newbs would be great xD Thanks guys //Kevin :up: wanted to add: I have a server in cz, I know how to add plugins etc. The website I made is www.pwsclan.com made using only html+css |
Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
it took me a few days to learn the real basics, a couple weeks to grasp the intermediate stuff, and I still battle with some of the basic questions and intermediate stuff - and then I post those questions here for teh masters to assist me with :)
if you only have css+html background it may take you longer as this is more c++ / c# / php-ish style coding but its not terribly tough once you get the basics down. |

Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
Ok, thanks again :)
Also I was wondering how I compile the plugins. I have read the guide on the wiki page and it said do put the .sma file onto compiler.exe but I cant find the compiler. Sorry guys I know im a Newb :roll: |
Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
when you install amxx to a server you get the compiler in the addons/amxmodx/scripting folder
else you can use the webb compiler. http://www.amxmodx.org/webcompiler.cgi |
Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
For some reason I havent got the compiler ... :?
Anyway I tried the online one and it works great, thanks again :mrgreen: I'll start tonight reading the guides and creating the simplest one I can think of xD I'll probably be back soon :P Thanks everyone who helped me, its amazing how friendly people are here :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: |
Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
keep in mind the online one wont do the includes if you have mutliple files for your plugin, you would have to use the offline one.

Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
Oh, can I download the offline one ??
or actually, I remember now I put amxmodx on there automaticlly, well the server host did so Ill see if I download it if it works.. |
Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
Downloaded amxx, still cant find it :cry:
What is amx Studios ? Can I use that ? Where do I find the compiler ! ? :( |
Re: Some basic questions + info needed about making plugins
When I downloaded the compiler I did this: (presuming you are, sigh, using Windows)
1st, go to: "http://www.amxmodx.org/dl.php?filename=amxmodx-1.8.0-base.zip" and download from a mirror 2nd, unpack the .zip you just downloaded, and there should be the directory "addons" created to where you unpacked it. 3rd, find the subdirectory of "addons\amxmodx\scripting" 4th, there should be a file called "amxxpc.exe", BINGO! you found it. To use it run from a command line in the form "amxxpc file" to compile, let's have an example of a file called "mymod.sma" and you have the compiler in "C:\amxmodx\scripting" Go to "start"-->"Run..." and in the box type "cmd", use the commands below without the quotation marks. "C:\amxmodx\scripting\amxxpc C:\amxmodx\scripting\mymod.sma" or if you had the compiler in "C:\amxmodx\scripting" and the mod in "C:\amxmodx\mymods" "C:\amxmodx\scripting\amxxpc C:\amxmodx\mymods\mymod.sma" Hope you find this helpful. |
