I know it looks nooby but I always want to ask before fail.
1. When I use code like:

#define PLUGIN_VERSION "1.1"
(...)
cvarPluginVersion = CreateConVar("version", PLUGIN_VERSION, "Version", FCVAR_PLUGIN|FCVAR_SPONLY|FCVAR_REPLICATED|FCVAR_NOTIFY);
(...)
AutoExecConfig(true, "awesome");

and it creates config with version cvar 1.1 then i will change version in plugin with version 1.2 which version will be set for this cvar? 1.1 or 1.2?
Whats a difference when I add:

SetConVarString(cvarPluginVersion, PLUGIN_VERSION);

after AutoExecConfig, it basically can set the new version number to the cvar, right?

2. How to do not include version cvar in cfg file? (ye, I know there is answer somewhere) -not sure but adding "FCVAR_NOTIFY" flag only to version cvar does it?

#define PLUGIN_VERSION "1.1"
(...)
cvarPluginVersion = CreateConVar("version", PLUGIN_VERSION, "Version", FCVAR_NOTIFY);
(...)
AutoExecConfig(true, "awesome");

as only "FCVAR_NOTIFY" is required for version cvars?
search.php was blocked by public computer. so forgive me.

when you change PLUGIN_VERSION, the cvar will be set on compile.. its mostly just a simple and easy way to update the version (instead of scrolling down to the createconvar command).

you dont need a setconvarstring, at least not for plugin version.. if your using it AFTER the createconvar command, the value is already set - and static, if your using it BEFORE, the convar doesnt exist yet.

use FCVAR_DONTRECORD if you dont want it in the autoconfig.

i believe NOTIFY reports when the cvar is changed - which version doesnt.

Thanks

Also note that you should use a unique name for that cvar.

oh yeah, version isnt a very good name to choose.

including your plugin into it is better:
my_plugin_version

I already knew it before I asked my questions lol

Where is that documented? The API reference has "Don't record these command in demo files."

[dirka_dirka]

the first time i saw it was in another plugin.
the api says what you quoted, but it is a flag of createconvar..

and, it does prevent cvars from showing up in the autoconfig.

i just made a comment under CreateConVar about it. so in the future people will know.

Thanks. I've been fighting with this for a while and ended up putting a create and set convar in OnConfigsExecuted().

But I did see that FCVAR_DONTRECORD does work in a test plugin I made.
