AMX Mod X no longer works after Half Life Anniversary Update for me

[Setrom]

If I set it inside liblist.gam as: gamedll "addons/metamod/metamod.dll". The game opens normally, when I create a map, the game loads the map almost completely, but it closes abruptly, without any error warning.
Does anyone know how to fix this without using the steam_legacy beta?

[-={U.S.P}=- Doctros]

Aggravating!

So now that I finally got my server running, your right, Seems like once I installed metamod along with AMX MOD X the server starts then immediately crashes with no errors.

The only reason I even decided to set up a CS-CZ again was because of the Anniversary Update that was long overdue for this game.

I hope that metamod and AMX MOD X get some kind of update to fix this.

But I won't hold my breath...

[Setrom]

I see I'm not the only one with the metamod problem

I really liked the visual improvements of the update, I wanted to use it in CS. However, I assume that the team that made the improvements didn't even have time to test all the official mods.

Now I wonder, who will fix this?
Valve or the Metamod team?

Apparently, the only way is to use the steam_legacy version anyway

[LeviN]

amxmodx works on both legacy and the latest version of 1.6/cz.

weirdly enough i had my zombie plague working with updated 1.6 client.dll before cz got updated, now it doesn't. seems like some modules got broken or we just got unlucky with it

[Setrom]

I put the "log on" command before starting the local server to view the file in logs/L1205000.log
And this was the listing before the game crashed:

I took advantage of the information and communicated it to support too, now let's wait.

[-={U.S.P}=- Doctros]

Update

I was using...

"metamod-1.21.1-am" along with
"amxmodx-1.8.2-base-windows" and
"amxmodx-1.8.2-cstrike-windows"

for my newly updated CS-CZ server and I was getting the abrupt (no error) crashes also.

I read a post where someone was having another unrelated type of issue and saw that they fixed it by using...

"amxmodx-1.9.0-git5294-base-windows" and
"amxmodx-1.9.0-git-cstrike-windows"

These are unstable, development AMXX builds. But I figured I would give them a try so I manually updated the "amxmodx-1.8.2" stable versions with the "amxmodx-1.9.0-git5294" (unstable, development AMXX build) and my server is not crashing anymore! I left my "metamod-1.21.1-am" the same version it was. Below I will add the link for these files.

"amxmodx-1.9.0-git5294" - https://amxmodx.org/downloads-new.php?branch=1.9-dev&all=1

"metamod-1.21.1-am" (All OS Version) - https://amxmodx.org/downloads.php

NOTE: for "amxmodx-1.9.0-git5294" once you are on that download page click on the "LARGE" OS icons for your OS. Once clicked you will get a drop down menu where you can click on the "Base Package" for download then click on it again to get your "Game Mod Files" download.

Please let me know if this process worked for you!

Good Luck!

it did work now i can play zombie plague again

[LeviN]

Just an FYI, amxmodx 1.9 is very much stable. It was a continuation of 1.8.3.

As for 1.10 - it is not. Would suggest moving onto rehlds/regame in order for things to actually work in your favor.

It worked! But I have a caveat.
Using amxmodx-1.9.0 and metamod-1.21.1-am, replacing almost all the files, the game kept crashing.
It only worked when I replaced the two files: plugins.ini and amx.cfg
Now I will try to find out which configuration or plugin causes this error.

But thank you very much for the tip! This makes it easier to solve now.

[Setrom]

Update

The kill_assist.amxx plugin was causing the game to crash.
The playermodel.amxx plugin is no longer working, I checked and fakemeta seems to be working and I still had no success

I imagine thousands of plugins are broken with the current version of counter strike, I hope Valve can see what can be done.

[%a]

what about legacy amxmodx/metamod builds. i still run the old WC3X/ WC3FT builds and im sure the versions are very old.

AMX X 1.75a and metamod-p 1.19. is what im running does this work with new CZ update?

Anything utilizing the hamsandwich module will crash. Its signatures need to be updated

I'm using a few plugins that call for the hamsandwich module and they are working just fine.

There are many signatures in that module that are not functioning. More than likely the module itself can be running but not utilizing the signatures.
