Upgrading AMX Mod to AMX Mod X 0.16
(Windows)
Upgrading to AMX Mod X from AMX Mod is not a difficult
task, but it must be done carefully.
Follow these steps closely to make sure everything is done correctly.
For a brief overwiew:
AMX Mod X 0.16 modules are interchangeable with AMX Mod modules, but it is
highly recommend you stick with ours. As of 0.2 a new module interface
will remove this interchangeability.
AMX Mod X 0.16 plugins are not compatible with AMX Mod plugins. However,
AMX Mod plugins can be recompiled on AMX Mod X.
AMX Mod X 0.16 has a new directory structure which must be accomodated for.
Step 1: Changing the directory structure
AMX Mod X uses a new directory structure. The changes are shown
below:
| Old |
New |
| amx |
amxx |
| |
configs |
| |
custom |
| dlls |
dlls |
| |
modules |
| examples |
scripting |
| docs |
documentation |
| plugins |
plugins |
Each directory of your AMX Mod installation should be renamed accordingly.
Note the two new directories, "configs" and "modules". Step 2: Moving
files
1) Move all modules from the old "addons\amx\dlls" (any file that is not
amxx_mm.dll) and place them in the new "addons\amxx\modules" folder.
2) Move all configuration files in "addons\amx\" (anything ending in .cfg or .ini)
into the new "addons\amxx\configs". EXCEPT, do not move: amx.cfg or
modules.ini, which should stay in "addons\amxx".
3) Move amx.cfg to "addons/amxx/configs" but change the name to "amxx.cfg".
4) Move the old "addons\amx\plugins\" to "addons\amxx"
Step 3: Replacing old files
1) Replace all of your old modules with new ones from this table, from the
AMX Mod X 0.1 package:
| Old Module |
New Module |
| Fun |
Fun AMX, Cstrike |
| Xtrafun |
Fun AMX |
| VexD Utilities |
ENGINE |
| MySQL |
MySQL AMX |
2) Replace all your default plugins from the AMX Mod X 0.1 package by
viewing "addons\amxx\plugins" and deleting old plugins and copying the new
ones.
3) Replace your "dlls\amx_mm" file with the new "amxx_mm.dll" from the AMX Mod
X 0.1 package.
4) Update your module names in "modules.ini". It is a good idea to enable
"Fun, Engine, and MySQL" if you are using AMX Mod plugins that were not
developed by OLO. When you add your new module names, do not enter the
pathname. Simply enter the filename.
| Bad
addons\amxx\modules.ini |
|
addons\amx\modules\fun_amx.dll |
|
addons\amx\modules\engine_amx.dll |
|
addons\amx\modules\cstrike_amx.dll |
|
| Good
addons\amxx\modules.ini |
|
fun_amx.dll |
|
engine_amx.dll |
|
cstrike_amx.dll |
|
5) Replace the contents of your old "addons\amx\examples" folder with the
new "addons\amxx\scripts" from the AMX Mod X 0.1 package.
Step 4: Compiling old AMX Mod plugins written by authors other than OLO
You need to recompile plugins so their internal native tables are
compatible with AMX Mod X.
1) Find the plugin source on www.amxmod.net
forums.
2) Place the source code file (".sma" file) into "addons\amxx\scripts".
3) Double click the "compile.bat" file.
4) If there are errors, try reporting them on the AMX Mod X forums:
www.amxmodx.org
5) If there are no errors, your plugins new compiled file will be in
"addons\amxx\scripts\compiled".
6) Copy the compiled file to "addons\amxx\plugins" and add its entry to
"addons\amxx\plugins.ini".
7) If the plugin fails to work, or gives "AMX native" errors, please report
them on www.amxmodx.org
8) You can also try the web compiler at
www.amxmodx.org/compiler.php?go=sc
Step 5: Further Help
