Hey !

I have a small problem.
I have a main plugin, wich is required for module to run. The problem is that the module load first because the name is "shorter" than the main plugin :

ASteambot_Core (MAIN plugin)
ASteambot_Chat (MODULE)

ASteambot_Chat load before ASteambot_Core and ASteambot_Core is unable to send that to that plugin.

Maybe this? (in core plugin)

PHP Code:

void OnPluginStart() {
    ServerCommand("sm plugins reload YourModule.smx");
} 


Or why not just rename file.

Because, again, that's dirty code.

EDIT:
Plus, the point of modules is to be COMPLETLY independant from the core plugin. It should only use it. Not the other way around.

Of course. Do you have any other ideas?

Maybe place modules in folder for ex: ASteamBot/modules.smx and maybe they will load later?

Nope, that's why I asked here haha... !

There is no guarantee what order SM plugins are loaded in, your best solution is to write your code to handle ANY load order.

The OnAllPluginsLoaded hook exists for a reason. Just have your modules set to not do anything until it's called.

Indeed, but I didn't know about it. Oh well, should have thought about it.
Thank you!

Something like:

PHP Code:

bool g_bCoreLoaded = false;

public OnAllPluginsLoaded()
{
    if (LibraryExists("some_fancy_core"))
    {
        g_bCoreLoaded = true;
    }
}

public void OnLibraryAdded(const char[] name)
{
    if (StrEqual(name, "some_fancy_core"))
    {
        g_bCoreLoaded = true;
    }
}

public void OnLibraryRemoved(const char[] name)
{
    if (StrEqual(name, "some_fancy_core"))
    {
        g_bCoreLoaded = false;
    }
}

public YourFancyFunctionHere()
{
    if (g_bCoreLoaded) {
        /* YAY! We got our core, ... do what you need to do here! */
    }
    else
    {
        /* Ohhh no, core is missing, do what you need to do here! */
    }
}
