Hello, I would like to know whats the recommended way to install plugins...For example, have an order to add plugins into plugins.ini? The most important plugins first or in the end of plugins.ini? Or following some special order like AMXX Dev Team plugins first?
I saw in my plugins list it says "unknown" for some plugins like there is an error and others it says "bad load" anyone know why it happens? And what the difference between a plugin running and "debug"?

Thanks, I believe that are good questions, since everyone use plugins lol.

Unknown plugins are named all plugins which hasn't register itself as a plugin.(missing register_plugin())
Scripter who test huge plugins turn their debug on to check for any plugin failure messages, bad load is more likely a error that get called when the plugin isn't complied under AMXMODX ver that server is using, or a module isn't loaded at modules.ini

You must keep the default plugins at top, always.

A recommendation about installing plugins: check for 3rd party plugins updates.

Or plugins that failed to load if the "bad load" error is present. Bad load can happen because of compiling the plugin on a AMXX version that is newer than your server's AMXX version, or if the plugin requires some additional plugin/module that you're missing. The full error will be shown when you start the server so you can easily figure it out yourself.

When you have errors in your error log and want to find out what's wrong, you need to enable debug mode to see a better explanation for the problem - it will show you exactly on which line it is.

Nonsense. Some plugins require to be put ontop of all other plugins (e.g. gag, mute), while some need to be on the bottom (e.g. admin prefix, ranks), but it all depends on how the plugin is made. It should come with instructions where to put it if there's anything specific about it, otherwise it can be put anywhere, but most often people put it below the default plugins.
