Metamod Plugins Issue

<div class="IPBDescription">won't load my plugins :/</div> I have the below in my plugins.ini file:

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->win32  addons/metamod/dlls/mm_award.dll

win32  addons/metamod/dlls/lerklift.dll
win32  addons/metamod/dlls/MM_Nvg.dll
win32  addons/metamod/dlls/MM_PhaseSelect.dll<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

But when I run the server I get:


Currently loaded plugins:
description stat pend file vers src load unlod
[ 1] mm_awards RUN - mm_award.dll v2.2 ini Chlvl Chlvl
[ 2] AMX Mod X RUN - amxmodx_mm.dll v0.2 ini ANY ANY
[ 3] AFK-Kick RUN - afkkick_mm.dll v2.0c ini ANY ANY
[ 4] LerkLift RUN - lerklift.dll v1.01 ini ANY ANY
4 plugins, 4

It like, totally ignores the fact that the other plugins are listed to be loaded...

Tried using both of the win32 metamods that work with beta5 and I get the same result, there must be something simple I'm missing :/ Any ideas?

    It's weird, if I comment out the awards plugin it loads the following:


    Currently loaded plugins:
    description stat pend file vers src load unlod
    [ 1] AMX Mod X RUN - amxmodx_mm.dll v0.2 ini ANY ANY
    [ 2] AFK-Kick RUN - afkkick_mm.dll v2.0c ini ANY ANY
    [ 3] LerkLift RUN - lerklift.dll v1.01 ini ANY ANY
    [ 4] Night Vision RUN - mm_nvg.dll v1.0 ini ANY ANY
    4 plugins, 4

    So I'm really confused since there's not supposed to be any problems with nv/awards...

    I don't know whether this relates to your problem, but the lerklift version you are loading is old, and doesn't work in 3.0x. Look for version 2.01 in <a href='http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20' target='_blank'>this thread</a>

    yeah I wasn't entirely interested in using lerklift, I was originally trying to use awards, amxmodx, afk kicker and team attack manager, but I deleted the TAM since it wasn't running, then figured out that it was able to run and I had some metamod issue.

    Kinda annoying, does metamod log anywhere?

    My entire <a href='http://www.bahamutns.com/ns/addons.zip' target='_blank'>Addons</a> directory is available if someone wants to check it out :/

    Just a quick guess here by browsing your metamod plugins.ini:

    Have you tried changing your comments from semi-colon (';') to what they're supposed to be? (Hash '#' or C++ style '//')

    Also try typing this in the server console if that does not help:

    log on
    meta refresh

    then post the output.

    changed the comments to hashes, no idea why I was using semicolons, but it just gave me:


    Currently loaded plugins:

    tried running it through a dedicated HLServer install (from the actual HLServer install, not the steam included one) and I get the same results :/

    Gotta test this stuff before I can get it put on our major NS servers :\

    Well, from metamod + all mod patch source:

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
    // Check if a given plugin is the same but possibly for a
    // different platform. A match is considered to be found if
    // 1.  the filename without the path is the same, or
    // 2a. for an attached plugin the logtag is the same, or
    // 2b. the description is the same, or
    // 3.  a significant part of the filename is the same.
    // A significant part of a plugin name is currently defined to
    // the the part up to the last underscore, if one exists.
    // meta_errno values:
    //  - none
    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    That check is where it's 'failing' at. The log tags and descriptions for the plugins are different, the place it's 'failing' at would be here the parts of the names. These plugins use the mm_<name>.<ext> scheme, metamod + all mod is expecting the scheme to be <name>_mm.<ext>.

    Simple fix for this:

    Rename the files from "mm_award.dll", "MM_PhaseSelect.dll", "MM_Nvg.dll" to "award_mm.dll", "PhaseSelect_MM.dll", "Nvg_MM.dll" and change their respectful entries in metamod's plugins.ini.

    I love you man, thanks so much. Never thought it'd be something that simple. Guess the guys making plugins over at <a href='http://modns.org' target='_blank'>http://modns.org</a> need to rethink their filenames before distributing "working" mods =D

    Thanks again =)

    To be honest here (since I am one of 'those guys' <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->):

    They were working fine for Metamod 1.17.1 and below. It's the patches added in Metamod 1.17.2 which caused these errors. I was unaware of this change until I looked through the source just now.

    Hullu maintains Metamod + All Mod Patch (which is what you're using), but he keeps it up to date with the official metamod patches. So of course, he put the check which this was failing on there.



    I'll change my plugins around to match this now, but I'll leave it up to everybody else to fix theirs. =/

    One of my plugins is named "mm_award.dll" and works fine with MetaMod v1.17.2p10, so why does it work on my server and not his?
    Off Topic Disagree Agree Awesome
  • sawcesawce Join Date: 2002-12-14 Member: 10787Members
    Because you just have one plugin named like that.

    When any metamod equal to or greater than 1.17.2 loads that plugin, it thinks it's called "mm". So if it were to load a plugin such as "mm_phaseselect.dll", it would think it's name is <i>also</i> "mm" and not load it.
