AMX Mod X 1.60 Released!

BAILOPAN · **Author**

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of AMX Mod X 1.60! This is mostly a bug-fix release, fixing many known issues from the 1.50 chain and introducing a few delicious, chocolately new features.

This release includes better compile-time optimization for Linux, compiler fixes, vast new plugin debugging features, client-cvar querying, and more!

You can download the binaries from the AMX Mod X Downloads Page, or from our SourceForge project at: http://www.sf.net/projects/amxmodx

Notes:
The Web Compiler will continue to be for 1.01 for at least another few days until we're sure that plugin authors have had enough time to let us know of any backward compatibility issues.

Thanks to Faluco for his tedious and gracious work this release! He has reformatted all the files still formatted in "OLO" style to the AMX Mod X coding standards. Readability is now much better!

Full Changelog:

Code:

    * Plugins can now query/retrieve client-side cvars (for example, to enforce CVAR rules).
    * Plugins can now use modules and natives without them being loaded. For example, plmenu will use the cstrike module only if it's available, and no recompile is necessary.
    * Plugins can now handle their own errors and look at their own debug traces.
    * Rewrote the debugger from scratch and, in some cases, greatly improved error message output.
    * Numerous other warnings and compiler bugs were removed and/or fixed in this release.
    * Fixed many bugs in AMXx Studio (bringing it to version 1.2).
    * Faluco has reformatted every single original, OLOcode AMX Mod X source code file to be readable! This was a herculean task and we thank him for his time.
