Hi,

so, you faced with a bug, next you fixed it and would like to test plugin again.

-> compile -> replace on server...

What is a fastest way to check everything okay?

1) E.g., are there a command to force reloading all plugins without server full restart?

2) How do you place "assert-s". Are you placing something like "PrintChatAll" at some key places in plugin code to see in-game that every variable works fine? What is a most convenient way?

3) Is there special IDE for SourcePawn?

Another tips...

P.S. I worked on L4d1 plugins 2 years ago. Just trying to refresh memories and improve knowledges.

Thanks,
Alex.

`sm plugins refresh` will reload all plugins that have been modified.

Pretty much, yes.

Yes, Pawn Studio, but it is old and clunky, there is also SPEdit - neither are really recommend and it is almost certainly better to use your favourite editor whatever that is (and if it isn't Notepad, it probably has a plugin/extension out there for a) SourcePawn syntax highlighting and b) the ability to run build commands)

1. sm plugins reload x, sm plugins refresh
2. if it isn't that complicated add +1 to the int for every passed check, at the end of the function print the message with int value

Thanks.

3) I'm using AkelPad + plugins + (Ctrl + F5 for build) together with reg. tweak:

compile

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sp]
@="sourcepawnfile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sourcepawnfile]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sourcepawnfile\DefaultIcon]
@="s:\\Server\\Left4Dead\\plugin\\sourcemod\\win\\addons\\sourcemod\\scripting\\spcomp.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sourcepawnfile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sourcepawnfile\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sourcepawnfile\shell\open\command]
@="cmd /c \"\"s:\\Server\\Left4Dead\\plugin\\sourcemod\\scripting\\spcomp.exe\" \"%1\" || pause\""

Glad to see there is IDE with Intellisense.
