Pre-made addons folder
When i tried to put together an addons folder with the wc3 XP plugin, i ran into tons of problems.
Just a sugestion, put together an addons folder with all the files set up so that simple minded people like me dont have to go through hours of trying to get it installed, and to fail. You could put the compiler on the side so that after you could simply put the wc3.sma(i dont know if thats the right file name) in its appropiate location and it would all work. I know of acouple of people who have had to settle for FT because wc3XP was too complicated to install, so this would probley increase popularity
Just an idea.

I'm not following. The new version, 2.6, is zipped up correctly.
warcraft3_2.6.zip:
The only thing you have to do is unzip this in your server root, then add "warcraft3.amxx" to your AMXX plugins.ini and enable Fun/Engine/Cstrike in modules.ini
These are all things you have to do for WC3 FT as well.
warcraft3_2.6.zip:
Code: Select all
cstrike/
addons/
plugins/
warcraft3.amxx
scripting/
warcraft3.cfg
warcraft3.sma
sprites/
warcraft3/
..sprite files..
sounds/
warcraft3/
..sound files..
These are all things you have to do for WC3 FT as well.

Hello, ferret:
On a side note, and since it runs on CS:CZ, you could drop the cstrike folder from your packaging scheme and it would work on both. Only have to update the documentation to reflect the new extract point.
Regards,
If I understood right his analogy, this is what he means. It has the advantage of being very easy for a clean install, but you'll have to keep the current packaging scheme for people wanting to upgrade/add the pluging to an existing server.ferret wrote:or do you mean a zip file that INCLUDES amxmodx and metamod as well?

I'll build an install package that includes AMXMODX and metamod as soon as the new versions of both are released. That should be in a week or two.

I'm not including anything beyond amxmodx and metamod. Anything else like bots is stuff that WC3 doesn't need and I don't maintain, so I'm not zipping it up.

Well i guess i will just ask now.
I forgot the file name(the one you tell the server to run the metamod dll's and all that stuff), but you gotta tell it to run metamod AND to run the bots, and i have run into problems there. I have tried to put them both down with the same command thing, but on diffirent lines and it didnt work so well. Theres always the possibility that I messed up while setting up metamod and stuff.

Hello, ferret:
Regards,
Better, since most people that will pickup the preconfigured package are less skilled in configuring a server, you can avoid a bunch of questions about liblist.gam by simply including it in the package. Just warn about it in case someone doesn't want his one altered.ferret wrote:liblist.gam has to be altered to run metamod
