I am starting development on an official Installer and Manager for AMX Mod X. Take a look at the list below and respond with any opinions, such as unnecessary or missing features, ideas, et cetera.
It will have the following features:
- Easy Installation
- Autodetection of mods/HL-dirs
- Ability to modify configuration files with a graphical interface
- Auto-Updating of AMX Mod X
- Copy configurations to different mods
- Ability to compile plugins on the fly and add them in
- Easy CVAR manipulation
- Configuration for multiple servers in the same dir
I don't know about it yet but another cool feature might be having the tool daemonize as a web server so you can do AMXx administration over the web.
As to whether it will run under linux: if there was the "daemonized" version, yes. Otherwise there would be a console based installer script only.
