Raw Blame History

# **Metamod-r** Changelog
**Metamod-r** is based on the original version of [Metamod](http://metamod.org/) written by _Will Day_ for Half-Life 1 with some improvements from [Jussi Kivilinna](https://github.com/jkivilin) ([Metamod-p](https://github.com/jkivilin/metamod-p)). This product contains a large number of performance optimizations and more pure code. The core was written using JIT compiler.

- Changed GCC optimization flags based on performance monitoring results,
replaced '-O3 -funroll-all-loops' with '-O2'.
- Made 'Fix for engine_api varargs log calls with very long log string'
default on in sources so that MSVC compile is 1:1 with GCC compile.

anymore and I don't have access to AMD64 machine to port new dynamic
linkent code. Sorry!
## 2007/04/05 `1.19p31`
[Patch: Metamod-P v31 by Jussi Kivilinna]

Vikings and Knights Beta 2.1, CSV15 (Counter-Strike 1.5 for Steam),
Adrenaline Gamer 6.5 and up.
- Changed MOD recognition for Adrenaline Gamer 3.x. The 3.x version of
the MOD is now being deprecated and support will be removed from a
future version of Metamod. It can currently still be used by renaming
the game directory from "ag" to "ag3" or by explicitly specifying the
gamedll.
- Improved parsing of plugins.ini file to not report errors on empty
lines and commented out lines that start with whitespace.
- Added "lin32" and "lin64" keywords in addition to "linux" keyword for
plugins.ini file to support using the same file for the same game on
both 32bit and 64bit servers. The "lin32" and "lin64" keywords
override the "linux" keyword when used on the same plugin. Do not
use "linux" when using "lin32" and/or "lin64" keywords for the same
plugin.
## 2004/07/28 `1.17.1p9`

```
- Removed mod recognition and entities for Master-Sword v1.3, at the
request of the Mod's authors.
- Added mod recognition and entities for HL-Rally vBeta 1.0, Kanonball
v1.01, Over Ground vBeta 1.0, Project Timeless vBeta 1.0, Underworld
Bloodline v2.0.
- Additional entities for The Battle Grounds v1.2.1, Firearms v2.8.
- Additional entities "env_rain" and "env_snow" used on some CS maps.
- Added "metamod_version" cvar that can be queried from game browser
clients.
- Added "meta" client command similar to the console command, providing at
this time only "list" and "version" subcommands.
- Introduced basic config file to provide more reliable and more
flexible options passing, in addition to the current +localinfo method.
- Default filename: addons/metamod/config.ini
- Options include:
```
debuglevel <number>
gamedll <path>
plugins_file <path>
exec_cfg <path>
```
- Added option "+localinfo mm_configfile <path>" to override default
config.ini pathname.
- Added "meta config" console command to display result of config
file and localinfo options.
- Added "meta require <plugin>" console command, to exit the server if the
specified plugin is not found loaded and running. Intended for use in
server.cfg or metaexec.cfg. Suggested by Florian Zschocke.
- If a specified override gamedll pathname is invalid, Metamod will now
exit with an appropriate error, rather than falling back to the
auto-detected gamedll. This should provide more useful feedback in such
situations.
- Added GINFO_REALDLL_FULLPATH for mutil GetGameInfo, to return the
(supposed) "real" dllpathname, ie in case gamedll is overridden. Needed
specifically for plugin "SinglePlayer".
- Raised META_INTERFACE_VERSION to 5:10, for GINFO_REALDLL_FULLPATH.
- Now recognizes "/dev/null" as valid for path options (pluginsfile,
execcfg, configini, etc), for when an empty file _is_ desired.
- Fixed loading of plugins.ini to detect duplicate plugins (by full
pathname).
- Added doc/config.ini with comments to document the file.
- Renamed doc/metamod.ini to doc/plugins.ini, and added comments.
- Internal changes:
- Added conf_meta.cpp, conf_meta.h for config file handling.
- Created full_gamedir_path() to centralize code for testing absolute
path, prepending gamedir if necessary, calling realpath, and
normalizing pathnames.
- Most paths are now stored and operated on as fullpathnames, rather
than gamedir-relative pathnames.
- Now using fopen() rather than LOAD_FILE_FOR_ME when reading text
files, in particular due to fullpathnames.
- Errorcheck for absolute paths as mm_execcfg filename, since
servercommand("exec") won't accept absolute pathanmes.
- Added debug messages to valid_gamedir_file(), for checking why it
failed to use a specified (config.ini, localinfo) path.
- Simplified logic in cmd_doplug() to not require re-mapping pcmd to cmd
string.
- Fixed Makefile to always recompile meta_api.cpp for changes in
info_name.h.
- Split lookup_game() into setup_gamedll and lookup_game, to better
organize for storing gamedll->real_pathname.
- Source and documentation files based on the list of supported
game/mods are split into their own files (games.h,
supportedmods.html), so they can be generated from a local database
rather than maintained manually.
- Makefile now using gcc-2.95 explicitly, to avoid using gcc3 at this
time.
## 2003/08/02 `1.16.2`
- Mod recognition and entities for The Point of No Return v.Beta 4.0.
- Even more entities for The Specialists v.Beta 2.0.
## 2003/07/30 `1.16.1`
- Mod recognition and entities for Master-Sword v1.3, The Wastes RC 1.2,
and Monkeystrike v1.2.
- Additional entities for Natural Selection v2.0, The Specialists v.Beta
2.0, Earth's Special Forces v.Beta 1.1, The Battlegrounds v1.2, and
International Online Soccer v2.0.
## 2003/05/08 `1.16`
- Added support for Server_GetBlendingInterface() in order to allow client
and server to properly coordinate custom player model blending. This
should fix the issue with mismatched hitboxes observed with CS and DOD.
- Mod recognition and entities for International Online Soccer v1.0 and
Morbid Inclination v1.0.
- Added studioapi.{cpp,h} to provide Server_GetBlendingInterface.
## 2003/05/03 `1.15.3`
- More additional entities for Day of Defeat v1.0.
`
## 2003/05/02 `1.15.2`
- Mod recognition and entities for Rival Species vBeta 1.0, Public Enemy
vBeta 1.0, and Bumper Cars vAlpha.
- Additional entities for Day of Defeat v1.0, Sven Coop v2.1, WormsHL
vBeta 3.0, and Natural Selection v1.1.
## 2003/04/09 `1.15.1`
- Additional entities for Firearms v2.7 and Desert Crisis v1.5.
- Fixed mod recognition for Adrenalinegamer v4.x and later.
## 2003/02/12 `1.15`
- Additional entities for VampireSlayer Chapter V.
- Fixed entity name "TS_PowerUp" for The Specialists 1.5; should fix
precache error for "models/powerup.mdl".
- Added DLFNAME implementation for win32, provided by Jussi Kivilinna.
Thus, "meta info <plugin>" will now list registered commands and
registered cvars under win32, rather than just under linux.
- Now dynamically allocating lists of registered commands and registered
cvars, rather than a fixed limit of 1024 (and before that, 512). Based
on code provided by Jussi Kivilinna.
- Console listing of regcmds/regfuncs now also shows currently allocated
list sizes.
- Replaced valid_file() using LOAD_FILE_FOR_ME with valid_gamedir_file()
using stat(). Thus, it should no longer find unintended files under the
"valve" subdirectory.
- Normalize filenames under win32 to use slashes (/) and lowercase chars,
to get rid of mixed-slashes (ie "half-life\cstrike/dlls") and to
simplify pathname comparisons.
- Also, canonicalize filenames under both win32/linux to remove ".." and
redundant "/" path components, to provide more reliable pathname
comparisions.
- If meta_CVarRegister fails to find a corresponding plugin for a cvar, it
now logs only a Debug message rather than an Error message, as a cvar_t
that's malloc'd by a plugin can't be traced back. Problem reported by
Olo.
- In plugin trace, added "classname" to DispatchSpawn output.
- Added is_absolute_path() to centralize the logic, and to be more
OS-precise.
- Split meta_init_gamedll() from meta_load_gamedll() so that the correct
and normalized Gamedir is available earlier in the code.
- #define NAME_MAX and PATH_MAX to the correct win32 constants, rather
than using (inaccurate) internal values.
- Renamed internal classes RegFunc to RegCmd, to provide more easily
associated names.
- Lots of internal file organization changes:
- Removed superfluous symlinks in docs dir.
- Renamed toplevel doc files to *.txt.
- Added Config.mak to toplevel dir, to provide project name and subdirs,
so that toplevel Makefile can be used for multiple projects.
- Added copyrights to Makefiles.
- Added blurbs to engine notes for FunctionFromName and NameForFunction,
based on investigation of singleplayer support.
- In source Makefile, added support for compiling linux-only or
win32-only projects.
- In source Makefile, fixed vdate.o to properly compile for each link.
- Removed tmp files in msvc dir (.ncb, .plg).
- Added copyright/GPL blurb to *.rc files.
- In stub/meta_api.cpp, comment out unused variables rather than doing
"if(var)" to satisfy gcc -Wunused.
- Reduced vers_meta.h to just the version and other common info, and
create info_name.h for module-specific name, desc, etc, so that I'll
only have to edit 1 file when increasing version/date for all the DLLs
distributed with Metamod.
- Made res_meta.rc common among Metamod and the plugins, rather than
having a separate res_plugin.rc.
- In source Makefile, added "--include-dir" args to windres, so it can
find the now common vers_meta.h.
- Source Makefile now copies targets into ../dlls, rather than doing
that only for comprehensive "dlls" targets.
- Added "-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" to possibly reduce code size,
suggested by Jussi Kivilinna.
- For plugins, renamed ie "mm_wdmisc" to "wdmisc_mm" where it was missed
earlier.
- For plugins, better organized common code, to make it more adaptable
to other plugin projects (ie, singlep). Ie, plugin_query,
plugin_attach, plugin_detach; moved plugin welcome banner to
meta_api.cpp; etc.
- Added tools/stlfilter to help hide -Weffc++ warnings from g++ STL
headers (although not using STL at this time..)
## 2003/01/24 `1.14.1`
- Properly recognize win32 full pathname from GetGameDir.
- Added "#include <direct.h>" for getcwd() under MSVC.
- Trace plugin: Changed AlertMessage formatting, ie from
"atype=at_console/1" to "atype=at_console(1)".
- Stub plugin: fixed to compile under MSVC again.
## 2003/01/23 `1.14`
- Fixed to handle new behavior of engine routine GET_GAME_DIR under HL
1.1.1.1 (CS 1.6) beta, where the routine no longer returns the
fullpathname of the game directory, but now returns only the string
passed to hlds as the argument to "-game" (pointed out by Alfred
Reynolds).
- Added meta-util function GET_GAME_INFO to return various string-based
information about the gamedll (name, description, gamedir fullpathname,
dll fullpathname, dll filename).
- Raised META_INTERFACE_VERSION from 5:8 to 5:9.
- Added FAQ.
- Some docs touchups.
## 2003/01/18 `1.13.4`
- Additional entities for betas of Counter-Strike 1.6 and TFC from HL
1.1.1.1.
- Added missing #include "osdep.h" to several files, to make sure things
like win32 vsnprintf are defined.
- In stub plugin, added engine_api.cpp, to provide example framework for
hooking engine routines.
- In trace plugin, changed logtag to all caps.
## 2003/01/12 `1.13.3`
- Additional entities and updated mod recognition for Earth's Special
Forces Beta 1.

- Hopefully complete list of entities for Day of Defeat beta 2.0.
- Don't complain for NULL routines in gamedll's NEW_DLL_FUNCTIONS. Should
solve "Couldn't find api call: dod.dll:ShouldCollide" errors with DoD
b2.
- Changed default for newapi ShouldCollide() from 0 to 1, per Mugsy@DoD's
observations.
## 2002/02/03 `1.11.1`
- Mod recognition and entities for Snow-War 1.0, and Earth`s Special
Forces version Alpha 2.0.
- Additional entities for Oz 2.4.1, Svencoop 2.0, and partial entities for

- Additional entities for version 1.2 of Global Warfare.
- Linux binary linked against glibc-2.1.2 for better compatibility.
- 'meta game' now lists user messages registered by gamedll.

plugins that need to know RegUserMsg name/id mappings (like bots) don't
need to be loaded at server startup.
- Raised META_INTERFACE_VERSION from 5:6 to 5:7.
- Fixed NUM_FOR_EDICT error in pfnCenterSay (from Fritz Elfert).
- Re-fixed set_new_handler for MSVC (from Fritz Elfert).
- Fixed meta_AddServerCommand; was registering plugin's command string
rather than local string, causing segfault on plugin unload.
- Changed trace plugin to use GET_USER_MSG_NAME instead of local list.
- Added 'const' to 'char *' arguments in DLOPEN and DLSYM macros.

- Added list of supported mods to docs.
- Updated MSVC project/workspace files to match recent source changes.
- Fixed problem with set_new_handler compiling under MSVC.
## 2001/06/30 `1.08.01`
- Updated for Day of Defeat v1.3. The name of its win32 dll changed (was
mp.dll; now dod.dll). No new entities.
- Added mod recognition and entities for Rocket Crowbar.
- Fixed problem with windows internal DLL version (don't use leading
zeros as compiler will assume it's octal notation).
## 2001/06/16 `1.08.00`
- Allow specifying/overriding various things on the command line, via
"+localinfo". Fields are:
- mm_gamedll
a bot or other dll, instead of the gamedll based on the gamedir.
Note this is now the preferred method; the "metagame.ini" file is
deprecated, but still recognized for backwards compatibility.
- mm_pluginsfile
a file with the list of mm plugins, instead of "metamod.ini".
- mm_execcfg
a cfg file for mm plugin cvar settings, instead of "metaexec.cfg".
- mm_debug
an initial debug level.
- Examples:
./hlds_run -game cstrike +localinfo mm_gamedll dlls/pod_bot.so
./hlds_run -game cstrike +localinfo mm_pluginsfile mylist.ini
./hlds_run -game cstrike +localinfo mm_execcfg mysettings.cfg
./hlds_run -game cstrike +localinfo mm_debug 7
- Don't try exec'ing metaexec.cfg unless it exists.
- Added additional entity for Action Half-Life Beta 4, from list forwarded
from the dev team.
- Added a couple additional entities for Global Warfare, from list
provided by the dev team.
- Moved a couple entities from the "common" list back to the "valve" list,
for better organization.
- Changed logmsg "Plugin '%s' interface version didn't match" from
"Warning:" to "Note:" to reduce confusion.
- Added an optional plugin meta-api routine Meta_Init, to be called prior
to GiveFnptrsToDll, to let the dll know that it's going to be
queried/loaded as a metamod plugin, to allow for DLL's that can be used
as both a metamod plugin _and_ a standalone DLL. Raised
META_INTERFACE_VERSION from 5:4 to 5:5.
- Removed segfault handler under linux, when calling plugin console
command functions, as (a) it masked legitimate segfaults in plugin
commands and produced confusing output ("plugin has been unloaded", when
really it segfaultd), and (b) wasn't necessary since the situation
should be covered by other tests.
- Replaced combo SDK macros with inline funcs, and added ones for
accessing serverinfo and localinfo infokey buffers.
- Unfinished code for event triggers is in the source, but is disabled
(since it's not finished yet).
## 2001/06/10 `1.07.03`
- improper compile was reporting wrong version number
## 2001/06/07 `1.07.02`
- added mod recognition and best-guess list of entities for Deathmatch
Classic v1 and Global Warfare Beta 1.0.
- updated entity list with best-guess additions and corrected win32 dll
name for Wasteland Beta 2.
- added additional entities for Frontline Force 1.2a, from list forwarded
from the dev team.
## 2001/05/25 `1.07.01`
- added complete (hopefully) list of additional entities for Front Line
Force 1.2a/1.3.
- added best-guess list of entities for Day of Defeat b1.1.
- added best-guess list of entities for Science & Industry 0.97 (later
confirmed by SI lead programmer).
- added better guess list of entites for Action Half-Life b4.
- shrunk entity lists for Jailbreak and Judgement to include only
mod-specific entities (rather than common Valve entities which are in a
separate list).
- in THREAD_CREATE inline, replaced "(DWORD (*)(void*)) func" with
"(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) func" to properly compile under MSVC.
- added engine_notes.html with a list of all the engine routines, and some
comments.
- added utils/getents.sh script to pull entity lists from .so files.
## 2001/05/08 `1.07.00`
- fixed "%s" server-crashing bug. "You should never pass strings with
unknown contents as the format string." Metamod was passing a
preformatted non-constant (thus unknown contents) string as the format
string (and only argument) when handling printf-style varargs engine
functions (in particular, AlertMessage). Ie, don't do:
printf(buf);
Instead do:
printf("%s", buf);
- added some entities for Action Half-Life Beta4, which should help
address crashing on startup, especially with Last Man Standing random
weapons. Note that I don't have an official, complete list of entities
for the mod, so there may still be some instances of crashing.
- added debugging messages for printf-style varargs engine routines, since
we can't rely on trace_mm for this (as the messages are re-written by
metamod before being passed to trace).
- better info in trace plugin's log messages for AlertMessage and
CreateNamedEntity.
- altered debug levels AlertMessage API routines in api_info.cpp
## 2001/05/04 `1.06.10`
- fixed a couple of entities for HL Paintball.
- added links.html to docs, a set of links/URLs and books that I found
helpful for the project.
- added to META_INTERFACE_VERSION comments to include associated metmaod
version for each change.
- additional data checking in various MPluginList routines.
- added 'const' to various function arguments to more properly reflect
function purpose.
- changed various function macros to inlines, to provide more obvious type
checking, and easier debugging.
- adjusted private/public members of various classes, to try and make them
more proper.
- added new_handler code, for upcoming code additions.
- added MPluginList::find(plid_t id), for upcoming code additions.
- added thread primitives to osdep, for upcoming code additions.
## 2001/04/29 `1.06.02`
- added entities and mod recognition for VampireSlayer and Open-Source
Jailbreak.
- updated mod recognition for current names of Action Half-Life's DLL/SO
files.
- added some entities for FLF 1.2a, listed on Botman's news page.
- added some docs for Installation and Compiling.
- added build type info (optimized, debugging, etc) to the SpecialBuild
tag in the version info for the win32 DLL.
- disabled SDK's "DBG_" functions, for MSVC win32 debug compiles.
## 2001/04/22 `1.06.01`
- added some entities for FLF 1.2.
- better info in trace plugin's log messages for
DispatchObjectCollsionBox, SetModel, FindEntityByString, SetOrigin,
EntOffsetOfPEntity, PEntityOfEntIndex.
- fixed missing initialization for "len" in wdmisc.
- added <a name> links to sections in html docs.
- for non-critical interface version mismatch, changed from a META_ERROR
to just META_LOG, since it's not, strictly speaking, an error.
## 2001/04/17 `1.06.00`
- added support for "metaexec.cfg", a commands file to be exec'd after
loading the plugins, for plugin commands and cvars, since autoexec.cfg
is parsed too early (before plugins loaded) and server.cfg is parsed too
late (after ServerActivate).
- better info in trace plugin's log messages for MessageBegin,
WriteString, AlertMessage, RegUserMsg
- to provide more manageable trace log output, throttled trace plugin to 1
logmsg per second, by default (of course, this can cause log messages to
be lost). Added cvar "trace_unlimit" (0/1) to enable unlimited logging,
as it did previously.
- added centersay meta-utility functions (CENTER_SAY, CENTER_SAY_PARMS,
CENTER_SAY_VARARGS). Raised META_INTERFACE_VERSION from 5:3 to 5:4.
- fixed crash when trying to load typical game DLLs (like standalone-bots)
as metamod plugins.
- fixed segfault on failed plugin attach; was dlclosing plugin
prematurely.
- in wdmisc, added a proof-of-concept for catching certain game events by
doing string matching on all the log messages produced by the game.
Ugly, to be sure, but interesting nonetheless.
- added more entities for HL Paintball, and fixed the linux so name.
- added "-Wno-unused" to CFLAGS when compiling sdk_util.o, to alleviate
the complaints from #including all the extra SDK header files and class
definitions.
- removed GetEntityAPI routine from trace plugin, as it's unnecessary as a
metamod plugin if already providing GetEntityAPI2.
- in trace, moved gMetaFunctionTable declaration to plugin.cpp, so that
meta_api.cpp can be a standard (plugin-independent) sourcefile used in
any plugin.
- updated the docs to include recent new features, as well as some better
discussion of coding details.
## 2001/04/06 `1.05.00`
- created utility callback functions, for use by plugins, to reduce code
duplication and help simplify some things. Currently, these consist of
only some convenient logging functions (LOG_CONSOLE, LOG_MESSAGE,
LOG_ERROR, LOG_DEVELOPER).
- added "mutil_funcs_t" to Meta_Query, to pass the meta utility function
table. Increased META_INTERFACE_VERSION from 5:2 to 5:3.
- made sure all exported DLL routines (ie routines that are accessed via
dlsym) are both declared _and defined_ as 'extern "C"', so that the C++
compiler enforces parameter type-matching, rather than considering
routines with mis-matched arguments/types to be overloaded functions...
Note that it's not sufficient to just be declared "C"; it has to defined
this way as well, to make sure the C++ compiler matches it with the
declaration. Otherwise, again, it'll consider it an overloaded
function, and allow it happily without complaint, and cause the
subsequent dlsym to fail.
- created and deployed C_DLLEXPORT macro for declaring/defining functions
'extern "C" DLLEXPORT'.
- added plugin 'wdmisc' as a basic example, and for my miscellaneous
commands/cvars.
- renamed "mm_stub" and "mm_trace" to "stub_mm" and "trace_mm" to make
plugin name more apparent, and to be more consistent with adminmod_MM.
- had to move plugin_info_t to its own header file, to avoid circular
#include's between meta_api.h and mutil.h.
- in dllapi.cpp and engineapi.cpp, pulled RETURN_API out of META_HANDLE
macro, to make it easier to add code to middle of API routines.
- renamed util_meta.h to support_meta.h, to avoid confusion with mutil.h
- some code cleanup (better 80-column linebreaks).
## 2001/04/03 `1.02.00`
- added support for Half-Life Paintball
- added "*_mm" and "*_MM" to the list of suffixes to look for when loading
plugins at console.
- log errors when plugin tries to use MRES_SUPERCEDE in a _Post function
(supercede is only relevant in a non-Post function; use OVERRIDE in a
Post function).
- mm_trace: added info to trace log for FindEntityInSphere
- added osdep macro for strcasecmp, for compiling under windows
- fixed a debug log message for GetEngineFunctions_Post
- fixed a couple internal references to engine globals (gpGLobals)
- renamed local SDK API routines to "mm_*" for easier debug breakpoints
- altered debug levels for a couple API routines in api_info.cpp
## 2001/04/01 `1.01.00`
- replaced use of FStrEQ in most places with !strcasecmp, so that case
doesn't matter for things like console commands ("META LOAD" will now
work in addition to "meta load") and paths (like "-game CSTRIKE"; and
win32 filepaths are case-insignificant anyway). Interestingly, the HL
engine ignores case for console commands ("ADMIN_COMMAND" works), but
cvars are only recognized with matching case ("ADMIN_DEBUG" does not
work). Confusing.
- added "by " when printing author info, to make it a bit clearer
- added a bit more operation info to metamod.html
## 2001/03/30 `1.00.00`
- released as v1.0, for inclusion with release of Adminmod v2.50.
- added $(VERSFILE) to Makefile and Config.mak, to better insure correct
rebuild on version number changes
- added "i486", "i586", and "i686" to "i386" in the list of prefixes to
look for when loading plugins at console.
- added "MDLL*" and "MNEW" macros in meta_api.h, to be more convenient for
plugins to call GameDLL functions.
- added missing "extern gamedll_funcs_t *gpGamedllFuncs" to meta_api.h
- added handling of gpGamedllFuncs in stub, for example purposes.
- fixed problems with running bots under metagame.ini:
- moved instantiation of Plugins object to before meta_load_gamedll, so
that if gamedll calls engine functions during GiveFnptrsToDll (like
hpb_bot does), META_ENGINE_HANDLE won't crash from a null Plugins object
pointer.
- in GET_FUNC_TABLE_FROM_GAME, memset gamedll.funcs.struct_field, and then
free/null it if the gamedll's GetFuncs call fails, to handle the
situation where the gamedll provides GetNewDLLFunctions(), but doesn't
have anything to return (like hpb_bot does, when the real gamedll
doesn't provide GetNewDLLFunctions).
- add handling of gpGamedllFuncs to mm_stub's Meta_Attach().
## 2001/03/27 `1.0-rc5`
- fixed problem with crashing when a plugin failed to load (improper
dereference of null 'info' structure; incomplete fix from rc2).
- added a plugin status "badfile", for plugin files that appear to be
invalid metamod plugins; this is to differentiate from "failed", which
is a valid-looking plugin file (queried) but encountered a failure
attaching/unloading/etc.
- changed "-march=i686" optimization to "-march=i586", and moved this to
only the optimized binaries, and not the debugging binaries. As it
turns out, i686 doesn't work on things like AMD K6-III cpus (I know, go
figure :).
- duplicated functionality of adminmod's "admin.ini", except with a file
named "metagame.ini". This will allow (at least partial) use with game
DLLs that metamod doesn't support yet - "partial" because, although the
game DLL will load, it may not work if it uses entities that metamod
doesn't know about yet. It will also allow use of standalone "bot"
DLLs, which sit between metamod and the gamedll (much like metamod sits
between the engine and the gamedll).
- added console command "meta game" to show information about the loaded
game DLL (to help troubleshoot issues with "metagame.ini").
## 2001/03/25 `1.0-rc4`
- split linkfunc.cpp into linkent.h, linkgame.cpp, linkplug.cpp
- split entity lists for mods into separate files, one for each mod; these
are used to build linkgame.cpp
- metamod/mm_trace version info should indicate debugging/optimized compile
- added entity support for Judgement DM
- added "-fno-rtti" to mm_trace gcc cflags, to address problem of
unresolved CSaveRestoreBuffer symbols using older versions of gcc
- lowered debug levels in GetEntityAPI, GetNewDLLFunctions, etc to enable
"+developer" messages (6 -> 3).
- removed "-Werror" from Makefile's default cflags; should only be used
on devl system with edited SDK
## 2001/03/18 `1.0-rc3`
- central Makefile can now build optimzed as well as debugging targets;
default to compile is debugging; default in 'dlls' dir is optimized
- toplevel Makefile builds release tgz/zip files. TGZ file includes only
linux .so objects, and text files in unix-LF format. ZIP file includes
only win32 .dll objects, and text files in dos-CRLF format, and actual
files rather than symlinks.
- added mod recognition for "judgedm" mod; still need entities list
- added 4 entities for Firearms 2.5
## 2001/03/07 `1.0-rc2`
- fixed missing WINAPI in mm_trace GiveFnptrsToDll
- added HTML version of docs
- description field in metamod.ini is now optional:
- uses "name" from plugin info for desc by default
- desc field in metamod.ini will override this
- "meta list" shows just desc, rather than desc and name
- altered debug levels for a couple API routines in api_info.cpp
- added missing "load" cmd in "meta" usage help
- added to "meta load" usage help
- added macros RETURN_META(result) and RETURN_META_VALUE(result, value) to
simplify plugin coding
- added parameter "gamedll_funcs" to meta_attach(), to give each plugin a
copy of the gamedll's API function tables
- raised META_INTERFACE_VERSION to "5:2"
- now load gamedll before plugins (rather than the reverse) so that
it'll have the gamedll func tables to hand to the plugins
- changed trace plugin console commands:
trace_version -> trace version
trace <routine> -> trace set <routine>
untrace <routine> -> trace unset <routine>
showtrace -> trace show
- added "trace list <api>" to list all available routines for tracing
- fixed broken trace cvars
- for "meta {load,unload,etc}" console cmd, added matching against plugin
logtag, as well as for "mm_<prefix>" in plugin file
- handle null 'info' after failed plugin load (ie in "meta info" etc)
- fixed "usage: meta list" errors on some meta commands; was calling
cmd_meta_pluginlist() instead of Plugins->show()
- fixed: unload/attach delayed plugins at changelevel
- now doesn't export newapi if gamedll doesn't provide it
- now doesn't call plugins getnewapi if gamedll doesn't provide it
- fixed incorrect apitable references in MPlugin::show()
## 2001/02/08 `1.0-rc1`
- fixed unistd.h under MSVC
- fixed S_ISREG under MSVC
- fixed strncasecmp under MSVC
- fixed void svr_meta() returning value
- fixed missing WINAPI in mm_stub GiveFnptrsToDll
- remade MSVC project for metamod
- created MSVC project for mm_stub
- added an example "metamod.ini" to ./docs
