Ok, what's happened here is that when you've updated the files the FTP server on the host has locked them, then, due to the massive delay on most file operations committing on Windows, you've started the server too quickly and deadlocked it.

Your best bet is to shut the server down for a few minutes then try again.

Still nothing. Contacting them.

I've just added this into my AFK manager plugin.

Question though, if I call Updater_ForceUpdate() does it still use Updater_OnPluginChecking() so I can stop it still?

Answer from GoD-Tony is Yes.

Since:

Your server must be running at least one of the following extensions:
cURL
Socket
SteamTools (0.8.1+)

I was wondering if the plugin could be coded so that we don't see this kind of thing:

[11] <FAILED> file "steamtools.ext.dll": The specified module could not be found.
[12] <FAILED> file "curl.ext.dll": The specified module could not be found.
[13] Socket (3.0.1): Socket extension for SourceMod

I've heard the "just ignore that" before, but tracking down other errors is much more difficult in that case. What if something else actually does depend on one of those other 2 extensions?

Then that "something" would be marked as failed as well.

You can also just pay attention to the error logs, missing module errors aren't logged for optional dependencies.

If a plugin really needs an extension you don't have you can usually find an error about that in your logs.
If not, here is an example.

] sm plugins list
  18 <Failed> "New unnamed plugin" (0.1.0) by Impact

So i go ahead and see why it failed.

] sm plugins info 18
  Load error: Required extension "SteamTools" file("steamtools.ext") not running

Hope this helps.

Yours sincerely

Yes, I see what you guys mean. But when you are starting from a hard crash of SRCDS and working backwards, it just seems natural to look at things that say "Error" next to them. I guess you really can't do that with the extensions listing.

Hi, I have installed the plugin but when i type the command sm_updater_status, it only told me that the plugin monitored is updater.smx. May I know where did it go wrong?


There are also no log file created when i type sm_updater_check :/

Updater only monitors plugins that have had Updater integrated by their authors.

I had the same issue a few nights ago and if I remember correctly it was a simple fix. I believe the issue I had was the CVAR was not in place and without the CVAR it just didn't seem to pick up any of the additional plugins that it should be watching.

All the simple questions always seem like the dumb ones but....do you have the CVAR as stated in OP added to your config file?
