<h2>Major changes with Metamod 1.17
|
||
|
|
</h2></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><li> New cvar "<b><tt>metamod_version</tt></b>" that can be queried from
|
||
|
|
client game browsers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><li> New console commands available to clients (much like the existing
|
||
|
|
server console commands):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <b><tt>"meta version"</tt></b> prints out version information
|
||
|
|
(date, compile type, etc).
|
||
|
|
<li> <b><tt>"meta list"</tt></b> shows a list of the plugins running on
|
||
|
|
the server (name, author, version, etc).
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><li> New file <a
|
||
|
|
href="metamod.html#config.ini"><tt><b>config.ini</b></tt></a> to provide a
|
||
|
|
more reliable and flexible method of specifying configuration options.
|
||
|
|
At the moment, the recognized options mirror those from <a
|
||
|
|
href="metamod.html#localinfo">+localinfo</a>, ie:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt><b>debuglevel</b> <i><number></i></tt>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt><b>gamedll</b> <i><path></i></tt>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt><b>plugins_file</b> <i><path></i></tt>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt><b>exec_cfg</b> <i><path></i></tt>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt><b>autodetect</b> <i><yes/no></i></tt>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt><b>clientmeta</b> <i><yes/no></i></tt>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Default path is "<tt>addons/metamod/config.ini</tt>" but can be
|
||
|
|
overridden with "<tt>+localinfo mm_configfile</tt>".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, new console command <tt><b>"meta config"</b></tt> to display this
|
||
|
|
information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><li> New console command <tt><b>"meta require"</b></tt> to force the
|
||
|
|
server to exit if the specified plugin isn't loaded/running. Intended for
|
||
|
|
use in server.cfg or metaexec.cfg, to keep the server from starting up if
|
||
|
|
desired plugins don't load. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt>meta require adminmod</tt>
|
||
|
|
<li> <tt>meta require 1</tt>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The former requires that a plugin with the substring "adminmod" is found
|
||
|
|
loaded and running. The latter requires that the plugin in slot 1 is
|
||
|
|
loaded and running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><li> If an override gamedll is specified and found to be invalid or
|
||
|
|
missing, Metamod will now exit with an appropriate error message, rather
|
||
|
|
than just falling back to the auto-detected gamedll. This should provide
|
||
|
|
more immediate and useful feedback, and help prevent some confusion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<h2>Incompatible changes with Metamod 1.13
|
||
|
|
</h2></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> Config file <tt><b>metagame.ini</b></tt> is no longer supported. This
|
||
|
|
file was deprecated in Metamod 1.08 (2001/06/16). Use instead the "<a
|

|
|
href="metamod.html#localinfo">+localinfo mm_gamedll</a>" option.

<h2>Major changes with Metamod 1.13

</h2></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> New config file names and locations, per the <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://www.unitedadmins.com/info_addon_dev_standards.aspx">Addon
|
||
|
|
Development Standard</a> rev 1.00, developed on the <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_apps">hlds_apps</a>
|
||
|
|
list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> Default config file locations are now:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> $gamedir/addons/metamod/plugins.ini
|
||
|
|
<li> $gamedir/addons/metamod/exec.cfg
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> Previous config file locations are also supported for backwards
|
||
|
|
compability:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> $gamedir/metamod.ini
|
||
|
|
<li> $gamedir/metaexec.cfg
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> Note that the pathnames in plugins.ini are unchanged, and are still
|
||
|
|
relative to the gamedir.
