I. Resume about the story
of AMX Mod
************************************************************************************************************************
AMX
Mod is dead since its developers have decided to leave out the
project, many developers wanted to have a new addon completly rewrited.
This one now includes a large community of gamers and coders, it's
named "AMX Mod X", we guess you know it since a long time.
We
don't really know why lot of coders didn't want to continue on the AMX
Mod development, maybe because it wasn't Open Source when it was
started, even if there are some other reasons for that.
But
KRoT@L, a powerfull coder worked alone on the AMX Mod 2006.3 version,
which has been very appreciated by many users, and today yet!
When
KRoT@L decided to giving up (at the end of year 2006), that was so sad
for the community and the most faithful of AMX Mod.
So
dJeyL was gone since a long time, and KRoT@L has gone too, m0gely
decided to close the English forums, until these fucking spamers come...
The
domain has been given up, and it wasn't possible to make anything on
the official website...
AMX
Mod was dead.
II. What will happen now?
************************************************************************************************************************
The
domain has been taken back and a new AMX Team has come, composed of
some AMX Mod members. Lot of these things was happenned between
February and March (just some month so).
This
AMX Team wish to continue to the same project and to the same
objectives that KRoT@L initiated.
Now,
you have to wait for the new site, which will be such as before, but
with some small changes. We hope that won't be long, it's why just
before to do that, we made a
punch action with our new release, available at the third and
fourth parts .
Also,
we will try to get the old dJeyL forum, and clean up it. But we promise
nothing.
To
finish we don't give you a valid email adress for the
moment, because we want work on the site without to be annoyed.
AMX
Mod left its tomb... and it won't be anymore a
skeleton!
III. Information about the
newest release
************************************************************************************************************************
The
objective of this new release was to fix some forgotten things or
either the
other mistakes that contains the latest official release (2006.3
version).
But
that's not all! We have profited of this opportunity to add some new
functions and features which may be very interesting for you (like the
admin chat commands with color!).
Q: What's the name
of this release?
A: This new release
is named: AMX Mod 2006.4 RC2
Q: Why to keep the
"2006" part on your release?
A:
Just because we have upgraded all files on this version (plugins,
includes, langfiles, configfiles) except the core who is always the
same as the previous 2006.3 version.
Also,
we considered so good that we do not have the enough "rights" to call
it "2010", with a core of the 2006.3 version. But it's almost a 2010
version.
Q: Why the core has
not been updated?
A:
It's very long to upgrade a core binarie, AMXX is more advanced than
AMX
about functions and catch up the delay would been so long, as maybe you
won't have to see again the site!
Two
other reasons:
1)
There is a priority, we are thinking to you and we do not want as you
waiting too many time for the site.
2)
To convert many AMX Mod X plugins into AMX Mod plugins is more
important.
You
can consider this release such as a pre-2010 or pre-2011 version, even
if this is not the 2010 version!
IMPORTANT:
Read that!
The
new release contains new includes files, which are used for each
compilation. It's very important to recompile all your custom plugins
with the new .inc files.
You
just can do this with the AMX Editor software who is very practice to
display, modifiy, create then compile your plugins, file per file. But
you must take the new version because it contains a patch with the new
includes files.
Otherwise,
if you do not recompile your custom plugins, sometimes you could get
any translation error for all sentences defined into the cmd_target
function.
The
'sound package' won't be available anymore into a separate package.
It's now only available on CS and DoD packages (only the CS and DoD
stats plugins are using it).
This
is a "RC" version for the moment, that means it might be slightly
updated if we have some feedback.
If
you have any request about this version, you can contact us at this
mail. But we do not give you another mail adress
for the moment (read the end of the part 2 if you have skipped the
reason).
To
finish we remember you as it's very adviced to see each documentation
(readme.txt, FAQ.txt and the HTML documenation available here
or directly inside your package (amx/docs)), which have been updated
according of this version
Also, this doc folder on the site (here) has been
updated too, you may if you want, do not need to see inside the amx/docs folder into
your WinZip archive.
