Pause Metamod

[Shoe]

I'm still trying to fine tune the server for scrims...

is there any way that I could enter a line of text to a cal.cfg (i know that you are not allowed to mod it) so that it pauses all of the metamod plugins.....

and then I would put a line of text in the server.cfg that would unpause them...
thanks in advance

meta force_unload amx/adminmod/statsme
they will reload automatically when the server is restarted.

ty very much.....

but i'm also try to give my lower level admins (who just have the ability to load configs) the ability to change the server back to normal

so is there a was to reload the metamod plugins?

[bOoya]

well the easy way would be to make a config that contains

Code: Select all

restart 1

amxmod can be manually reloaded (or on mapchange), and statsme will reload on map change. Adminmod unfortunately will not reload unless the server is restarted.

[Shoe]

so let me bounce this off you...

at the bottom of my cal.cfg i put this

Code: Select all

meta force_unload addons/statsme/dlls/sm_cstrike_mm.dll
meta force_unload addons/headshot/headshot_mm.dll

and the one for amx and admin (the question is that i unload the dll's)

use the rcon to change the map and do stuff in the scrim.
then run the server.cfg and change the map ~ and everything will be loaded again?

you dont need to put the path, statsme/headshot will suffice. If you exec cal.cfg, those mods will be unloaded, if you change the map, statsme will come back, (i am unfamiliar with this headshot mod but if you do 'meta list' you should be able to see when it loads.) but unload again if cal.cfg is exec'd.
as long as

• a.) headshot mod thing reloads on mapchange and
  b.) the cvar 'mapchangecfgfile' is set to mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg" (rather than cal.cfg)

you should be fine.

ok..i got it to work

I put this in the begining of my lo3 config

Code: Select all

meta force_unload amx
meta force_unload statsme
meta force_unload hostitron
meta force_unload phpua_mm 

seems to be working but...when I want go back to being normal....I use the rcon (because everything is unloaded) to change the map.....and the server just restarts.?!?!?!?!

Kinda weird huh.

[bOoya]

using what command?

[Shoe]

Code: Select all

rcon changelevel de_dust

[bOoya]

interesting... the meta plugins all reload right?

[Shoe]

yeah...after I try to change the map...and the server reboots..all of the metamod plugins are loaded.

statsme is a bit buggy on the unload aspect, see you are unloading it, not merely pausing it

theres rcon meta pause statsme, but doesnt remove statsme completely (feel free to experiment with it)

now in the 2.8 beta's of statsme, you can install that and you should have a better time disabling and reenabling statsme.

you can find it in my files at http://acura.nuclearfallout.net/files/

as for amx or admin mod's, if you unloaded that, in order to reload and process the users.ini, its a little buggy, but some experimentation is needed.

to reload a plugin, go rcon meta load statsme, rcon meta load amx and try that.

force_unload is a harsh thing for metamod to do, to forcibly unload a loaded plugin thats running, which is most likely causing this issue.

[Shoe]

harmm...
so maybe I could put those load cmds at the end of my regular server.cfg and then they'd all be loaded again?


would that be a good idea?....
anybody see anything wrong with that idea?

[bOoya]

no harm in trying it

I would upgrade statsme to 2.8 and use pause for all mods and try that.

also could use csstats in amx instead of statsme, thus when you stop amx, you stop both amx and stats
