enabling/disabling plugin with sever.cfg

ghostofmybrain · **Author**

Is it possible to put a line in the server.cfg file that enables a specific plugin when the config is loaded, and put in a server2.cfg a line to disable that plugin if that config is loaded? I know how to enable/disable plugins per map or things like that, but I've never done it with the execution of a server config file.

Same thing really. Just put the cvars in the files with the relavent values. Of course, this assumes that the plugin has a cvar that enables/disables it's functionality.

If you are refering to loading/not loading the plugin (equivalent to plugins-map_name.ini) then you can't use a .cfg.

That's actually what I was referring to...

But the plugin does have a cvar to enable/disable the functionality, so I could definitely go that route. Does it go in exactly like it would go into the amxx.cfg file?

I generally tend to avoid putting cvar created in AMX Mod X in server.cfg but they will probably work just fine. It would be the same as any cvar (all the things you see in server.cfg are cvars too.

In this context I would like to ask one thing. If I have only 1 installation and runs multiple hlds with different configs like 1 CSDM other 1 Normal Pub, then I need to disable some csdm plugins for Pub server and so I need to have a cfg for that and load that on Pub hlds_run startup.

But my question is. Is there any chances when csdm map changes the pub server will have those plugins enable and some cvar which is set for csdm server also affects the Pub server.

Yeah, I just didn't know if the server.cfg file knew what to reference. Like maybe it will only reference cvars that are coded as part of the hlds, and so anything extra to that (like an amx cvar) needs to go into an amx config file for it to even be understood. I will give it a try as soon as I have more than ten free minutes...

It sounds like you need to use two different plugins.ini's for each server.

I don't understand anything in this paragraph lol.
