Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve a list of all administrators stored in AMXX's dynamic list. I see that in amxmodx.inc there is a function admins_lookup() to do this, but perhaps I'm using it wrong:

PHP Code:

static iAdmins;
static fFlags;
static szAuthData[44];

new szAdmins[MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH]
format(szAdmins, MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH, "VALVE_ID_LOOPBACK")

iAdmins = admins_num();

for (new i = 0; i < iAdmins; i++)
{
    fFlags = admins_lookup(i, AdminProp_Flags);
    admins_lookup(i, AdminProp_Auth, szAuthData, sizeof(szAuthData) - 1);

    if (fFlags & FLAG_AUTHID || fFlags & FLAG_IP)
        format(szAdmins, MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH, "%s;%s", szAdmins, szAuthData)
} 


Basically I'm trying to get all administrators into a string, split by a semi-colon. It should not matter if the administrators are stored in a file or SQL table as I want to read them after they are loaded by the core.

The main issue I'm finding is iAdmins is always 0 -- so the admin_num() function isn't returning anything, or is being called after the core plug-in has loaded the list of administrators.

Why don't you test this theory?

When exactly are you attempting to use that code. I just tested it (calling at plugin_init) and it is returning admins for me...or perhaps I am not understanding your objective/question. I don't use SQL or anything for admins, just users.ini.

PHP Code:

const MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH = 1000;

public plugin_init() 
{
    LoadAdmins();
}

public LoadAdmins()
{
    static iAdmins;
    static fFlags;
    static szAuthData[44];
    
    new szAdmins[MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH]
    format(szAdmins, MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH, "VALVE_ID_LOOPBACK")
    
    iAdmins = admins_num();
    
    for (new i = 0; i < iAdmins; i++)
    {
        fFlags = admins_lookup(i, AdminProp_Flags);
        admins_lookup(i, AdminProp_Auth, szAuthData, sizeof(szAuthData) - 1);
    
        if (fFlags & FLAG_AUTHID || fFlags & FLAG_IP)
            format(szAdmins, MAX_ADMINS_LENGTH, "%s;%s", szAdmins, szAuthData)
    }
    
    server_print( szAdmins );
} 


Result (I am the only admin on my test server)

VALVE_ID_LOOPBACK;loopback;STEAM_0:0:XXXXX

It's probably because I'm using SQL tables, perhaps there is a delay before the core plug-in has finished loading the admins from it.

Perhaps I should attempt to call it again after 15 seconds if it doesn't find any admins the first time round.

plugin_init() calls ReadAdmins().

I've fixed this by trying again 5 seconds later after a fail, though it sets a global bool to true so it only tries again once.

Try doing it at plugin_cfg()?

[AdamR]

Does plugin_cfg() run after admins have been loaded? (even from SQL)

[Bugsy]

I have no idea if it makes any difference for what you're doing but it never hurts to try.

Looks to me like it loads at the same time that it would if it wasn't SQL.
