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

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

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.

when you install amxx to a server you get the compiler in the addons/amxmodx/scripting folder
else you can use the webb compiler.

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.

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.
