Today is a cool day because three mods are updating.
I am proud to announce the immediate availability of Metamod 1.17.2 and a preview release of AMX Mod X 0.20.
Now, for a word on the new AMX Mod X. This is a "Technology Preview". In other words, it's a pre-release. It's not the official release. It's for some people to play with, and some developers to toy with. It's not recommended that the whole population switch over as we still have a number of things to do: Code:
- Finish documentation
- Finalize mod packages
- Translate mod packages
- Verify some new modules are fully functional
- Convert the webserver to the new compiler
- Stablize everything
However, because the public has been _dying_ for a new release, we've decided to release these editions. This release is so big, this news post is split into two sections. The first section is a quick tutorial on how to upgrade, since we haven't put the documentation into a nice little package yet. The second section is the very, very long changelog.

You can get the new Metamod binaries here: Click Here.
For the lazy among us, here is a VERY brief rundown of the big changes: Code:
- New module API
- AMD64 Compatibility
- New packaging system
- Largely rewritten core
- New multi-lingual system
- Engine, mysql, csstats, rewritten from scratch
- Vastly superior mod support
- Many new modules
- Better SQL support
- JIT increases speed dramatically
- Lowered CPU usage
- New plugin file format (.amxx)
- New compiler (amxxsc)
- Assembler (sasm)
One of the philosophies behind AMXx is "Developers, developers, developers!". AMX Mod X offers an excellent scripting and mod design API unlike any of its predecessors. As well as being a decent administrative tool, we hope AMX Mod X will continue to give people awesome powers over their servers
We'd also like to give a round of applause to our good friends at Admin-Mod who have also made a milestone release today, for they have also succeded in making the AMX Core 64bit compatible!
Last, but not least, thanks to all the people who put blood and sweat in to make this release possible. As you can see, this was not a trivial update. Special thanks to our dilligent bug reporters, beta testers, supporters, and mahnsawce, for daring to take on fakemeta_amxx.
