Release Notes
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Major changes with Metamod 1.17
===============================
- New cvar "metamod_version" that can be queried from client game
browsers.
- New console commands available to clients (much like the existing
server console commands):
- "meta version" prints out version information (date, compile type,
etc).
- "meta list" shows a list of the plugins running on the server
(name, author, version, etc).
- New file config.ini to provide a more reliable and flexible method of
specifying configuration options. At the moment, the recognized
options mirror those from +localinfo, ie:
- debuglevel <number>
- gamedll <path>
- plugins_file <path>
- exec_cfg <path>
- autodetect <yes/no>
- clientmeta <yes/no>
Default path is "addons/metamod/config.ini" but can be overridden with
"+localinfo mm_configfile".
Also, new console command "meta config" to display this information.
- New console command "meta require" 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:
- meta require adminmod
- meta require 1
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.
- 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incompatible changes with Metamod 1.13
======================================
- Config file metagame.ini is no longer supported. This file was
deprecated in Metamod 1.08 (2001/06/16). Use instead the "+localinfo
mm_gamedll" option.
Major changes with Metamod 1.13
===============================
- New config file names and locations, per the Addon Development
Standard rev 1.00, developed on the hlds_apps list.
Default config file locations are now:
- $gamedir/addons/metamod/plugins.ini
- $gamedir/addons/metamod/exec.cfg
Previous config file locations are also supported for backwards
compability:
- $gamedir/metamod.ini
- $gamedir/metaexec.cfg
Note that the pathnames in plugins.ini are unchanged, and are still
relative to the gamedir.
