I am trying to follow that tutorial on how to install a plugin but I get stuck when I try to find the compile.bat file in examples directory. I see one called sc.bat, when I press it there is no "compiled" amx file. Anyone can help me out?

Thanks

Basically same problem, I'm unable to install this profanity plugin. It is

http://amxmod.net/amx-showplugin.php?id=29607

Here's what I did according to the AMX site I am suppose to:

Copy that plugin. Save it as an sma file, then put it into addons/amx/examples

Then I compile it by pressing...(this is where I'm stuck). But I pressed sc.bat anyways.

But then no compiled AMX file is produced and I don't even have a folder called compiled until I manually made it?

Lastly, I of course made wordlist.ini and put it under amx with my list of swear words I wanted to star out. The file swear.amx was also put in my plugins.ini file under addons/amx/plugins

Something along that way went wrong. Anyone care to shed some light?

Just FTR I did read the FAQ but it did not have the same files that were mentioned on the AMX site...

I fixed his problem.

Don't forget to tell potentially curious readers what his problem was and what the solution was.

His problem was that he was trying to do the compile on our server, which is not possible. Instead, it is necessary to download AMX to your personal machine and perform the compile there; then you can upload the resulting .amx file to the server.

. I was also helping him in email.

Yes thank you both for your explanations! I appreciate them...now I am on mIRC hoping to get some fine tuned details settled

Just one quick question, how do i turn a copy of plugin coding into a sma file inorder to compile it by using compile.bat?

Thanks

When you paste it into your text editor (presumably copied from the AMX mod forums), you just save it as pluginname.sma. There is no conversion process other than that -- the code you are seeing is in Small language format already. Then you put that sma file in addons/amx/examples and run compile.bat.

Yeah but it's still a piece of text document...it looks different from others sma files...will it still work?

I tried to compile, after i downloaded the amx folder from the ftp down to my machine, but there's an error: it said there's not temp.text. The compiled folder is empty after the compiling process...

When you save the file in notepad, put its name in quotes. For instance, "pluginname.sma". That will save it with the correct extension and not add .txt to it.
