interesting tip
 

In Source, when you want to load server plugins you have to create an "addon" folder and in it, put as many .vdf files as there are plugins to load, each file having a particuliar syntax which I find unpractical.

If you want to do things in a more metamod-like way, i.e. one single config file for all your plugins, just use the autoexec.cfg :)

it's no rocket science, but I thought I'd share this one :D

though i don't think this will help fro plugins required to start up at the same time as HL2?

Re: interesting tip
 

that's what I thought at first, but yes it does! the autoexec is parsed before the engine starts! try it! 8)

yeah doesnt it.. thats how i come to think about it.. ;)

Re: interesting tip
 

wait... Don't the vdf's automatically get executed?
Nowhere did I set my mani admin plugin to load, and it did anyways!

Re: interesting tip
 

as soon as the game finds any vdf file in the addons directory, it loads the plugin mentioned in each. But it's a pain to maintain one different file for each plugin. By deleting the vdfs in your addons folder and loading them in the autoexec like I do you have a metamod plugins.ini-like way of doing the same thing.

@Trub: I do'nt remember having crashed your computer? I gotta try that, someday :D

Re: interesting tip
 

you can't load more than one plugin from the vdf in the addons folder?

Re: interesting tip
 

well I tried, but it definitely seems you can't.
