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. Tons of new functionalities for plugin developers and admins.(Almost) completely revised and completed documentation.Significant improvements to modules and the official plugins.Much improved UTF-8 support across the project.Official support for ReHLDS and ReGameDLL.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.
