Unloader allows server owners to disable plugins per each individual map. If you would like a certain plugin to be active on most maps but disabled on others, this plugin will help. It was originally a private request, but permission was given to release it publicly.

How to use: There is a configuration file in sourcemod/configs/unloader.cfg that will or can be created. The plugin has a built-in command to add configurations via console, but the cfg file can also be made from scratch. If you want to write it yourself, the layout is

[PLUGIN_NAME] : [MAP1], [MAP2], [MAP3], etc...
//Example:
ThirdPerson : ctf_turbine, de_dust2, de_mirage

Commands:

• sm_unload "Plugin" "Map1" "Map2" ...

Just drag and drop into plugins folder then use the command to configure it. Problems may arise if you attempt to make multiple configurations for 1 plugin. To fix this, the cfg file would need to be altered or deleted.

As always, thank you for sharing your stuff.

To the negative end, I see no reasons for things like this. You can simply place your plugins in the plugins/diasbled folder, and use map configs to execute "sm plugins load disabled/WHATEVER" in order to load the plugins only when you want to.

Even though this is supposed in the opposite direction, I'd still say it is a technical waste to load the plugins, only just to find out that they should get unloaded again.

This sort of assumes you want the plugin loaded for most maps when the disabled folder assumes the opposite. I understand that it is somewhat irrelevant, but it's here in case someone wants it.

Will this plugin help me avoid model precache table limit crash? I need to unload my whole store plugin to avoid crashes on certain maps, I just can't find a way to to do it before the models are all precached.

I believe it should. Please test and give some feedback.

I attempted to use sm_unload in-game and it immediately crashed my server. Nothing in the error logs :/

Very odd. I'm not sure what could have caused this unless there is a problem reading files among various operating systems. Are you using Windows for your server or something else?

Whats about no plugin solution? map_name.cfg contains 'sm plugins unload bla-bla-bla'.

Both this plugin and that map thing with "sm plugins unload" will make the plugin load, and then unload it afterwards. So if you have problems that come with just loading a plugin, they will still come both ways.

The way to prevent such would be the opposite direction, to make a "whitelist" of plugins to load:

Place your problem-plugin.smx in disabled/ folder, so it is always "disabled" (never loaded automatically).

For all maps that would need problem-plugin, you'll execute "sm plugins load disabled/problem-plugin" from that map's config.

You would need to unload all plugins OnMapEnd() though, right? Otherwise plugins will continue to operate once loaded on a map on which is whitelisted, even through the next map may not have a whitelist at all.
