3.2 Installing an extension
This is pretty much the same as installing plugins, so it does not seem necessary to list the required steps, but i will do it anyway.
To install an extension you just copy it to the
/extensions directory.
Extensions can require gamedata and translations like plugins, so don't forget to install them too.
To actually load the extension just change the map or type
sm exts load <name of your extension> in the server console. Remember that extensions wont load automatically if they are not required in the first place.
To force an extension to always load, just create an empty file with the name of the extension itself and the file-extension
.autoload.
Example:
- extension file name is extensions/sdkhooks.ext.ep2v.dll
- to autoload this extension create an empty file extensions/sdkhooks.autoload
Note: You can't update a running extension, you need to disable it first via
sm unload <extensionname> or stop your server. Otherwise your server will most likely crash (at least on linux).
