I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of AMX Mod X 1.75!
This is a major feature-packed release which adds much more general usability to AMX Mod X. For starters, we've added
automatic module loading, threaded SQL querying, plugin grouping, and many additions to FakeMeta.
Yes, you read that right. AMX Mod X now detects and loads modules automatically as needed. For most cases, you will never need to touch modules.ini again. Furthermore, to help people organize their servers, you can now group plugins into separate, auto-detected config files.
For scripters, many common Engine natives were moved into Core. We also re-organized the HL related include files to be more readable and easily accessible. With the new SQL modules comes an additional, powerful new set of functions. You can use two different database types at once, and even thread queries so they don't interrupt gameplay.
If that isn't enough for you, there's also dozens of bug fixes, including fixes for crash bugs found in hudmessages and the debugger.
Note: Plugins are fully backwards compatible. However, to take full advantage of module autoloading, you will need to use the 1.75 compiler. The Web Compiler will be updated to 1.75 on July 3rd.
