Even though we aren't nearly as many as we used to be, people still care about the project.
This has been the primary area we have left out of this planned release, mostly because of missing time, but also because we needed to get the internals right before we can improve our user-facing tools.įinally, we will try to get the community involved more. Secondly, future changes will be focused on user-related issues, such as new/improved tools for managing servers and customization. It is simply not feasible for a mature project like AMXX to focus on big iterative releases that take years to come together. We will provide more information at a later date, but this essentially means that we will be able to provide you with more frequent stable releases.
#CS 1.6 GAMEBANANA MOD#
The forum will remain the place for general support, help, and discussion.įirst, starting from the next AMX Mod X release we will follow SourceMod in switching to a rolling-release cycle. The old tracker will still be publicly available, but new AMXX tickets will no longer be accepted. Also, quite frankly, the old issue tracker was barely used and still contains numerous outdated tickets that might not have been relevant for years. Having everything in one place for development should be more intuitive and get more eyes on the project.
#CS 1.6 GAMEBANANA CODE#
While this will require you to create a GitHub account to get in touch with contributors, we hope that it provides us with similar benefits as moving our code there. We've decided to complete our switch to GitHub and use their integrated issue tracker for all future bug reports and feature requests.
#CS 1.6 GAMEBANANA FULL#
Īs usual, AMXX should retain full backward compatibility, so if existing functionality breaks after upgrading, file a bug report. We are in sore need of more people that are willing to test and verify the new version.Ĭheck out the release notes and give our new features a try, if something does not work as you expect it should, please let us know.ĪMXX 1.9 latest build can be downloaded here. Īs outlined above, this release has gotten pretty large, and we somewhat neglected including the community in the development. The full detailed release notes are currently work in progress, and can be found in the Wiki.
Once we have wrapped up the past couple of years into an official release, it will be much easier for our small team to get new stuff into the hands of users.ĪMX Mod X has had numerous fixes and improvements across all facets of the project: We know that we still have a few exciting improvements and even the odd new feature in the pipelines, but we have to make a commitment to a release at some point. Development will now focus on bug fixes and our time spent preparing for the next release. This means that no new functionality and improvements will be accepted into what is going to eventually be the next release of AMX Mod X. However, please keep in mind that all of the contributors are volunteers, and we can't force anybody to devote more time to AMXX than they are comfortable with.Īs of 1.9, we have put the development version of AMXX into a feature-frozen state. I failed to get help from the community to process and test new changes and failed to tighten the scope of what we could ultimately deliver as an official release. This meant that the number of changes got larger and larger as time passed (and oh how quickly it passes). My mistake as a maintainer was not setting clear targets that could be achieved with the limited time that both our contributors and I could put into the project. So without a core team available to push through issues and keep the project on track, the contributions became a bit chaotic from a scheduling perspective.
Our primary goal still is to once again provide an up-to-date release, including many bug fixes and long-awaited features.ĭue to the waning interest in the games it supports, it is only natural that contributors would dip in and out of active development. Since we moved the project to GitHub, development has become quite a bit more active, but the pace is ultimately still slow. Not many people are actively working on the code base, a direct result of reduced interest in the project specifically and GoldSrc games in general.
Today, we would like to talk about the next AMX Mod X version, what is happening, and what our future plans are.Īs you may already understand, AMXX as a project is past its prime.
