This plugin exists to make your plugin work if needed.

Working perfectly with Veer's plugin. Much appreciated!

L 01/20/2016 - 10:43:19: [SM] Unable to load plugin "UpdateCheck.smx": Required extension "SteamWorks" file("SteamWorks.ext") not running

The file does infact exist. All files are where they should be.

Edit: Nvm map change did the trick even though I had just did it.

Is this compatible with a normal start up batch script?

Sure.

I'm not real clear on how the update check works if the server's been empty for a while:

PHP Code:

public OnMapStart()
{
    CreateTimer(120.0, OnCheckForUpdate, _, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE|TIMER_REPEAT);
} 


I recall testing that timer callbacks don't get called on an empty server unless you have AFK cvars in place (timer callbacks don't get executed when the server is in hybernation mode).

So if the server was empty when a game update got published - this timer callback never gets called in the first place - then how does it check for an update?

Can test with this and see the callback never gets executed on the server unless you have AFK cvars to prevent the server from going in hybernation mode:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

#pragma semicolon 1
#pragma newdecls required

public void OnMapStart()
{
    CreateTimer(30.0, OnCheckForUpdate, _, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE|TIMER_REPEAT);
}

public Action OnCheckForUpdate(Handle timer, Handle hndl) 
{
    PrintToServer("Timer callback executed");
    
    return Plugin_Handled;
} 


Personally I just manually check the screen session's log file for the word "MasterRequestRestart" every so often for updates (then clear the log file so it doesn't keep detecting that same word). I'm mainly posting out of curiosity / potential bug report.

Not sure if this plugin is still maintained but I tried running it on my CSGO server that was recently out of date and seeing if it would cause my server to restart. So far, it has not restarted yet after waiting 10 minutees and I made sure to add the latest SteamWorks (build 132) to the server. Plugin appears to be loaded when I checked with sm plugins list and I did not see any obvious errors.
