[Any] Plugin AutoReloader
v. 18.0710.0

This plugin has the simple function of monitoring all running plugins for changes in the SMX's timestamp. If a change is detected, this plugin reloads the changed plugin. This plugin should really only be used on development/testing servers being run by my fellow plugin authors. It was designed to facilitate and aid those of us who rapidly make changes to our plugins in development, and test them out as we go. Manually running sm plugins reload blahblahblah can get really annoying after a while.

This plugin is a rewrite of the following plugin:

This plugin does NOTHING by default; you must enable its functionality via the first cvar listed below:



CVARS, shown with default values:

• sm_pluginAutoReload 0 - (0/1) Enables or disables the main function of this plugin. This is set to 0 by default; you must manually turn this on in order for this plugin to function.
  
  
• sm_pluginAutoReload_duration 2.0 - (Any number greater or equal to 0.1) This cvar sets the amount of time, in seconds to wait between scans of running plugins to determine timestamp changes.
  
  
• sm_pluginAutoReload_update 2 - Controls Updater compatibility
  • 0 : Completely disables Updater integration
  • 1 : Updater will notify you in Updater.log if an update becomes available.
  • 2 : Updater will automatically download any updates. They will be installed on the next server start or map change.
  • 3 : Updater will automatically download and immediately install any updates.

This is a must-have plugin for all developers! Saved me much time and nerves.

But, after some days without using the server, I get this error - only in servers console, nothing in logs.

Thanks for your great work!

This is exactly what I needed, thanks!

Thanks for the plugin. I used the old one for years - it would say 'plugin reloaded' when I actually deleted the plugin lol.

Could you add an option to detect and load newly installed plugins, so I don't have to enter "sm plugins refresh" (or sm_refresh from my dev cmds plugin)?

Also developers: please add support for your plugins to late load and unload if required. Nearly all my plugins handle that even in mid use - to totally reset and delete created/active ents (and to avoid deleting weapons/items someone is carrying that was spawned by my plugins). I see very few plugins from the community able to support late load/unload.

Then plugins like custom votes to turn on/off plugins can work without causing bugs during gameplay.
