Hello! Long time lurker first time poster...
I've been scouring the search for weeks, and I've found a few close issues, but no solution to this problem on other posts.

Before I get flagged, I've also searched this whole steam/non-steam issue and I still can't find anyone to define what that ACTUALLY means.
I have a steam account, and installed HLDS through my account.

I set up a personal dedicated server on an extra PC I have using HLDS, updating through SteamCMD, and freshly installing AMXMODX and MetaMod.

I'll preface this saying I've had this issue on both the standalone PC, and a game server hosting service.

MetaMod runs perfectly fine with the server.
I enable AMXMODX and the servers crash whenever I join.
I disable cstrike in the modules.ini, then I can join perfectly fine.

Here are my rcon commands, with cstrike module loaded. Nothing shows an error in any log files.

version:

Protocol version 48

Exe version 1.1.2.7 (cstrike)

Everything seems to run fine, until I join the server, and then it crashes.

Is the latest cstrike_amxx.dll corrupted? From a previous post, it seems 1.76d cstrike_amxx.dll works fine.

Any help is appreciated, and I apologize in advance if I've done something against posting guidelines, I'm a noob here.

Try AMX Mod X 1.9.0, im sure 1.8.2 isn't as stable on latest builds from a long time, one of all reason is the hamdata.ini in 1.8.2 is with old offsets.

[claudiuhks]

Try downloading the latest https://www.amxmodx.org/amxxdrop/1.10/ AMX Mod X build.
Then update the game data files: https://github.com/alliedmodders/amxmodx/issues/1086

However, the CStrike module will not fully work but it will not crash.
Hamsandwich as well, will not fully work, unless you manually update the Ham data.

I was able to extract a few new signatures/ offsets, but not all of them. Perhaps in the future everything will get fixed.
Also, you can use ReHLDS+ReAPI+ReGameDLL. If you really want the entire CStrike module to properly work.
By doing so, you will use public swds.dll and mp.dll modules which are not released by Steam/ VALVe.

Should also work with AMXX 1.8.2 and without the "Re" stuff but you will need to use the 2020 version of HLDS, by using

PHP Code:

app_update 90 -beta steam_legacy 


By using the steam_legacy 2020 thing, you won't need to manually update anything.

hey long time lurker, 1st time posting as well.

Just wanted to confirm that using the 1.10 dev build fixed the issue for me. In my case, I was writing a plugin for `czero` and was importing the `cstrike` module which was causing the game to crash.

Upgrading to 1.10 fixed it for me.

I will add a further note for fellow noobs like me thatafter downloading and installing 1.10 you have to manually create the `gamedata` files. Specifically, the ones outlined in this comment in the GitHub issue linked above.

- https://github.com/alliedmodders/amx...ent-1876235385

So you should end up with the following files in your addons folder.

- `addons/amxmodx/data/gamedata/common.games/custom/functions.engine.txt`
- `addons/amxmodx/data/gamedata/common.games/custom/globalvars.engine.txt`
- `addons/amxmodx/data/gamedata/modules.games/custom/game.cstrike.txt`

I have a noob question, is this manual patching a temporary fix and ideally it gets included by default in the next stable release?

[HamletEagle]

Ideally, the manual patching should be a temporary fix. However, most likely there will not be a new "official" stable release of AmxModX, as no maintainers are active.

The only realistic scenario I see is that the new signatures get merged into amxmodx 1.10. But I don't think 1.9 or 1.10 will ever be "officially" released.

What's funny.. Half-life 25th Anniversary Update was release in November 2023 and till now (11.September.2024) there is no git update on https://github.com/alliedmodders/amxmodx

People manually need to update the data files.

Maybe its time for them to start using RegameDLL.

Probably because nobody has provided a fully tested, fully functional set of files and created a pull-request. Nobody is stopping you.
