AMX Mod X 1.76 Changes

AMX Mod X 1.76 will be a small feature release and contains mostly bug fixes. This changelog is brought to you by Batman and ramen.

New Plugin File Features

Per-Map Plugin Files

You can now have per-map plugin configuration files. AMX Mod X will automatically load any plugins listed in files having the following name: configs/maps/plugins-<map>.ini. Thus, de_dust specific plugins will be loaded from configs/maps/plugins-de_dust.ini.

Map-specific plugin files are parsed after the main plugins.ini is parsed, and after all secondary plugins-*.ini files are parsed in the configs folder. This means that a map-specific plugin listing inherits all settings above itself.

Disabling Plugins

A second feature was introduced to let users disable plugins per map. In any plugins-*.ini file, you may now add a "disabled" flag to a plugin name. This works like the "debug" flag. Example: gaben.amxx disabled

This will block the plugin from being loaded from any other configuration file. So if plugins-de_dust.ini has the example line above, gaben.amxx will not be loaded from any other plugins file.

Full Changelog

Core Changes

New Features

• The compiler has been heavily optimized and will now compile plugins much faster.
• Request am43012: You can now specify per-map plugins files. For example, you can list de_dust only plugins in configs/maps/plugins-de_dust.ini.
• You can now specify a new "disabled" option after plugin names in plugins.ini files. This will prevent the plugin from being loaded in any config file, and is useful for disabling plugins in map-specific plugin files.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where secondary plugin files would not autoload modules.
• Fixed a serious corruption bug in callfunc_push_intrf, callfunc_push_floatrf, and callfunc_push_str. Strings or data passed with these methods could be easily overwritten internally.
• Fixed am41317: ExecuteForward() string parameters would be trashed on future internal string calls.
• Fixed am41777: time.txt was not included in the installer.
• Fixed am42213: "amx_logs" was incorrectly listed as "amx_logsdir" in core.ini.

• Request am41295: Added CZ model types to the CsInternalModel enumeration.
• Request am42697: Added SQL_GetQueryString() to find the query string of a query handle.
• Request am42810: Added callfunc_push_array() to push an array through a callfunc.
