For sure there are some interesting stuffs but I don't think it's complete : - No ML, thanks for servers which have players from different country.

There is no one who I know of who wants to use ML. The community around it is very small and entirely English-speaking as far as I know.

I don't think it's that big, but as a plugin I suppose it is. You shouldn't need to understand the core to use it, anyway. The API has plenty of comments and example code.

Since I don't see any useful docs I don't feel like to test it.

It was originally designed for people who knew exactly what they wanted. It never really occurred to me that I should actually explain at all what it's for as no one has ever asked me.

Well, I think that's one of its biggest strengths.

There's a few interesting concepts that I used for it. The first is a keytable which saves itself dynamically to SQL for you. Here's an example of this in action:
PHP Code:
#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>
#include <ApolloRP>
new Class:g_Class
new Float:g_LastTime
public ARP_Init()
{
ARP_RegisterPlugin("Data Layer Test","1.0","Hawk552","Tests the data layer")
ARP_ClassLoad("server_settings","ClassLoadHandle","")
}
public ClassLoadHandle(Class:class_id,const class[],data[])
{
g_Class = class_id
ARP_ClassSaveHook(class_id,"ClassSaveHandle","")
ARP_ClassGetFloat(class_id,"lasttime",g_LastTime)
}
public ClassSaveHandle(Class:ClassId,Name[],Data[])
ARP_ClassSetFloat(ClassId,"lasttime",float(get_systime()))
public plugin_end()
if(g_Class) ARP_ClassSave(g_Class,1)
Another interesting concept I threw in is "clever querying", which is an engine that automatically decides whether to thread or not thread an SQL query. I wrote a wrapper around the non-threaded query process to make it act like the threaded process. This was written because ARP was maxing out the amount of threaded queries that could be sent without stalling the server, so I had to prioritize some of them. It mostly gets used at the end of the map, when there's no players, etc.

Yeah, I'll do that. I recently ported it so that it'll work on any mod, so I suppose it'll be more important now that it can be understood what it does.

Huh? There's like 10 new posts every day, a couple of them mine. I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, the entire point of it originally was to be expansive. You can throw away all of the addon plugins and just use the core alone.
