Hi all.
I would like to upgrade from 1.71 to 1.75 and i have read this guide for the upgrade:
All Versions
For general upgrades, you should make sure you: - Replace all binaries.
- dlls, modules / *.dll/*.so - This includes amxmodx_mm and all modules.
- plugins/*.amxx - Any default plugins AMX Mod X comes with.
- data/GeoIP.dat - If you use GeoIP, make sure you update the database.
- Replace language files.
- data/lang/*.txt - Important to make sure plugins are using the right language phrases.
- Read the upgrade notes to see any other custom changes needed.
- If you do scripting locally...
- Replace all base include and source files (.inc, .sma).
- Replace the compiler and its binaries (amxxpc, amxxpc32, amxxpc64).

Upgrading to AMX Mod X 1.75
Instructions for upgrading to AMX Mod X 1.75 from older versions are below.
[edit]
From 1.71
- Follow general upgrade instructions.
- Make the following configuration changes:
- Recommended: Open configs/sql.cfg. Add the new cvar:
- amx_sql_type "mysql"
- Note: Other option is "sqlite"
- Optional: Open configs/modules.ini.
- If you are using MySQL or SQLite, or any custom modules, write them down.
- Replace your old modules.ini with 1.75's stock version.
- Re-add your custom or SQL modules back in.
- Optional: Recompile 3rd party plugins.
- If you wish to take advantage of some automatic module loading features, plugins will need to be recompiled with the 1.75 compiler. However, all old plugins will work as is.
I am however still not 100% sure how to carry out the upgrade (am I the only one?). I take it that I would not need the AMX Mod X Full Installer, or would I? Would I also need all or part of the Counter-Strike Addon? Some of the files in both the AMX mod X installer and the addon appear to be files I already have installed in my 1.71 version, and I would expect that I would not need these, or........?
Furthermore, I have made various modifications to some files and I have installed a number of custom plugins that I use. Are there any way I can perform an upgrade without "messing up" the customisation of my 1.71 version, or do I have to go through every customised file individually? Would I have to re-install all my plugins?
You help is appreciated.
