Hey i need some help to update my levelmod that i released a while ago.
Im planinng on making an ini document where the user can choose needed lvl | lvl name | knifemodel. The problem is that i dont realy know how i can make it.

I want something like this in a ini

"0" "New Player" "v_knife" "p_knife"
"200" "Beginner" "Levelmod/v_crowbar" "Levelmod/p_crowbar"

Right now im using these const todo the level functions

#define MaxLevels 6

new const iLevels[MaxLevels] = 
{ 
        0,
	200,
	300, 
	550, 
	700, 
	1000 
}
new const iLevelsName[MaxLevels][] =
{
	"New Player", 
	"Beginner", 
	"Rambo",  
	"Freak", 
	"Elite", 
	"Superman" 
}
new const iKnife[MaxLevels][2][] =
{
	{"models/v_knife.mdl", "models/p_knife.mdl"},
	{"models/LevelMod/v_crowbar.mdl", "models/LevelMod/p_crowbar.mdl"},
	{"models/LevelMod/v_axe.mdl", "models/LevelMod/p_axe.mdl"},
	{"models/LevelMod/v_machete.mdl", "models/LevelMod/p_machete.mdl"},
	{"models/LevelMod/v_katana.mdl", "models/LevelMod/p_katana.mdl"},
	{"models/LevelMod/v_silverblade.mdl", "models/LevelMod/p_silverblade.mdl"}
}

I manage todo this by looking on Vecos knife menu. But i dont know how i can connect them like when i im level 1 i should have evrything on the first line in the ini and so on

public plugin_precache( ) 
{    
	new file[44] 
	formatex(file,43,"addons/amxmodx/configs/levelmod.ini") 
	
	if(file_exists(file)) 
	{ 
		new iLevels2[64], iLevelNames2[64], iLevelModel_v[64], iLevelModel_p[64]    
		for(new i=0;i <= file_size(file, 1) - 1;i++) 
		{ 
			new data[1024],buffer 
			read_file(file,i,data,1023,buffer) 
			parse(data, iLevels2,64, iLevelNames2,64, iLevelModel_v,64, iLevelModel_p,64) 
			
			if(!equali(iLevelModel_v,"") || !equali(iLevelModel_p,""))
			{
				precache_model(iLevelModel_v) 
				precache_model(iLevelModel_p) 
			}
		} 
	} 
	else 
		log_amx("[%s] ERROR: File configs/levelmod.ini doesn't exist!", TAG) 
}

The plugin is in my signature

I really don't understand your problem because you are practically done. You simply need to populate your global variable arrays with the information from the file. If you do this before the original precaching code, you don't need to add any precaching code and can simply insert the loading of the file at the beginning of plugin_precache().

Sorry but i dont understand. If you are able to show me i would be grateful

[fysiks]

e.g.

PHP Code:

iLevels[i] = str_to_num(iLevels2) 


Stirngs are even simpler, you can actually populate that directly from the parse command.

PHP Code:

parse(data, iLevels2,64, iLevelsName[i],64, iKnife[i][0],64, iKnife[i][1],64) 


But, make sure that you declare a maximum string length in the declarations of those global variables.

-------------------------------

Another thing that you will need to consider is the maximum number of levels there will be allowed in the file and also account for when there are fewer levels. You can see an simple example of this in my Bot Apology plugin.

Also, you should avoid using the deprecated file reading method and switch to the more efficient method (fopen, fgets, fclose, etc.).

Is this better? and will it work?

public plugin_precache( ) 
{    
	new cfgdir[64]
	get_localinfo("amxx_configsdir", cfgdir, charsmax(cfgdir))
	format(cfgdir, charsmax(cfgdir), "%s/levelmod.ini", cfgdir)
	
	if(file_exists(cfgdir)) 
	{ 
		TotalLevels = 0
		new iLevels2[64], iLevelNames2[64], tmpfile[101], sfLineData[128]
		new file = fopen(cfgdir,"rt")
		
		while(file && !feof(file)) 
		{
			fgets(file, sfLineData, charsmax(sfLineData))
			parse(sfLineData, iLevels2, 64, iLevelNames2[TotalLevels], 64, iKnife[TotalLevels][0], 64, iKnife[TotalLevels][1], 64)   
			
			TotalLevels++
			
			if(TotalLevels >= MaxLevels) 
			{
				log_amx("[%s] ERROR: You got %i levels and the plugins only allows %i", TAG, TotalLevels, MaxLevels) 
				return PLUGIN_HANDLED  
			}
			
			for (new i = 0; i < TotalLevels; ++i) 
			{
				format(tmpfile, charsmax(tmpfile), "models/%s.mdl", iKnife[i][0])
				format(tmpfile, charsmax(tmpfile), "models/%s.mdl", iKnife[i][1])
				
				iLevels[i] = str_to_num(iLevels2)  
				iLevelNames[i] = iLevelNames2[i]
				
				if (file_exists(tmpfile)) 
				{
					precache_model(iKnife[i][0]) 
					precache_model(iKnife[i][1]) 
				} 
				else 
					server_print("Failed to precache %s", tmpfile);
			}
		}
	} 
	else 
		log_amx("[%s] ERROR: File %s/levelmod.ini doesn't exist!", TAG, cfgdir) 
	
	return PLUGIN_HANDLED  
}

What happens when you run it?

[ironskillz1]

It doesnt seems to work

Here is my levelmod.ini

"200" "Pro Player" "GSJailbreak/v_katana" "GSJailbreak/p_katana"
"1000" "Elite Player" "GSJailbreak/v_hunter" "GSJailbreak/p_hunter"

Here is the function

public plugin_precache( ) 
{    
	new cfgdir[64]
	get_localinfo("amxx_configsdir", cfgdir, charsmax(cfgdir))
	format(cfgdir, charsmax(cfgdir), "%s/levelmod.ini", cfgdir)
	
	if(file_exists(cfgdir)) 
	{ 
		TotalLevels = 0
		new iLevels2[64], iLevelNames2[64], tmpfile[101], sfLineData[128]
		new file = fopen(cfgdir,"rt")
		
		while(file && !feof(file)) 
		{
			fgets(file, sfLineData, charsmax(sfLineData))
			parse(sfLineData, iLevels2, 64, iLevelNames2[TotalLevels], 64, iKnife[TotalLevels][0], 64, iKnife[TotalLevels][1], 64)   
			
			TotalLevels++
			
			if(TotalLevels >= MaxLevels) 
			{
				log_amx("[%s] ERROR: You got %i levels and the plugins only allows %i", TAG, TotalLevels, MaxLevels) 
				return PLUGIN_HANDLED  
			}
		}
		if(file) 
			fclose(file);
		
		for (new i = 0; i < TotalLevels; ++i) 
		{
			//format(tmpfile, charsmax(tmpfile), "models/%s.mdl", iKnife[i][0])
			//format(tmpfile, charsmax(tmpfile), "models/%s.mdl", iKnife[i][1])
			
			iLevels[i] = str_to_num(iLevels2)  
			iLevelNames[i] = iLevelNames2[i]
			
			log_amx("Loaded %s %s %i %s", iKnife[i][0], iKnife[i][1], iLevels[i], iLevelNames[i])
			
			/*if (file_exists(tmpfile)) 
			{
				precache_model(iKnife[i][0]) 
				precache_model(iKnife[i][1]) 
			} 
			else 
				server_print("[%s] ERROR: Failed to precache %s", TAG, tmpfile);*/
		}
	} 
	else 
		log_amx("[%s] ERROR: File %s doesn't exist!", TAG, cfgdir) 
	
	return PLUGIN_HANDLED  
}

And here is the outcome its completly wrong.

L 06/13/2014 - 15:14:35: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GGGGSJailbreak/p_hunter GGGSJailbreak/p_hunter 1000 P

L 06/13/2014 - 15:14:35: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded SJailbreak/p_hunter Jailbreak/p_hunter 1000 l

And here is the complete plugin.

The first thing that I notice is that iLevelNames and iKnife are not arrays for strings. They are simply arrays (single cells). You need to make them arrays of strings.

Also, when working with strings, never assign a string directly to another string variable. Always use copy() or some other formatting function to do it.

Here is how I would do it.

[ironskillz1]

Thanks but it still seems to have an problem.
It makes the last points loaded again when i didnt write it in the ini like this

L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GSJailbreak/v_katana GSJailbreak/p_katana 1 Player1
L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GSJailbreak/v_katana GSJailbreak/p_katana 2 Player2
L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GSJailbreak/v_katana GSJailbreak/p_katana 3 Player3
L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GSJailbreak/v_katana GSJailbreak/p_katana 4 Player4
L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GSJailbreak/v_katana GSJailbreak/p_katana 5 Player5
L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded GSJailbreak/v_katana GSJailbreak/p_katana 6 Player6
L 06/14/2014 - 01:06:47: [Untitled.amxx] Loaded   6

Here is the updated code.

[fysiks]

I can't really tell what is wrong without the exact .ini file you are using. Please upload that as well.

Also, another thing that I realized is that the prefix "i" is used for "integer" but you are using it for strings. This makes reading the code much harder. In pawn, strings are zero-terminated often denoted as "sz".

Also, the number of levels loaded will likely be needed in a global variable so that you index your arrays beyond where there is relevant data. You generally would replace your "number of levels variable" from your hard coded version with this new one.
