nPawn - latest Pawn in SA-MP - ge0r - 13.08.2016

This plugin updates Pawn to the latest version from CompuPhase's repository without loss of original API.

Overview of main Pawn changes:

1. Structures

PHP код:



new msg[.text{30}, .priority];

msg.priority = 10;

strpack(msg.text, "update: {30} means [30 char]");

print(msg.text);

2. Enumerated lists

PHP код:



// from file.inc

const filemode:

{

io_read = 0, /* file must exist */

io_write, /* creates a new file */

io_readwrite, /* opens an existing file, or creates a new file */

io_append, /* appends to file (write-only) */

}

3. Lots of new natives in Pawn includes, e. g., functions that were added to file.inc:

PHP код:



native bool: fcopy(const source[], const target[]);

native bool: frename(const oldname[], const newname[]);

native bool: fcreatedir(const name[]);

native bool: fstat(name[], &size = 0, &timestamp = 0, &mode = 0, &inode = 0);

native bool: fattrib(const name[], timestamp=0, attrib=0x0f);

native filecrc(const name[]);


// ini reader

native readcfg(const filename[]=``'', const section[]=``'', const key[], value[], size=sizeof value, const defvalue[]=``'', bool:pack=true);

native readcfgvalue(const filename[]=``'', const section[]=``'', const key[], defvalue=0);

native bool: writecfg(const filename[]=``'', const section[]=``'', const key[], const value[]);

native bool: writecfgvalue(const filename[]=``'', const section[]=``'', const key[], value);

native bool: deletecfg(const filename[]=``'', const section[]=``'', const key[]=``'');

Also you can read about changes at official page: http://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawnhistory.htm

Changes and additions for API that aren't related to Pawn update:

1. Callback arguments are packed
2. It's safe to use packed strings with SA-MP functions
3. Some natives like GetPlayerName/GetWeaponName/etc got argument bool:ispacked=true at end.
4. format native that was taken from AMXMODX has been replaced with Pawn's strformat.
5. New include: a_vec.inc. It includes Vector3-powered versions of some SA-MP functions that have "Vec" suffix. Vector3 is a structure with fields Float

, Float:y and Float:z. Example of usage:

PHP код:



new pos[Vector3];

GetPlayerPosVec(playerid, pos);

pos.z += 20.0;

SetPlayerPosVec(playerid, pos);

Known issues:

- filterscripts crash the server. Looks like it will not be fixed because it will break support of most SA-MP versions or/and reduce performance
- Some plugins may not work with nPawn. Most of sampgdk-based plugins will not work.

BIG UP dude
Gonna try this right now!

It`s nice script. But me and my friend, we saw this:

Код:

- Some plugins may not work with nPawn. Most of multithreaded plugins will not work.

This issue is worries us, it will be fixed in next update or not?

Re: nPawn - latest Pawn in SA-MP - Crayder - 13.08.2016

When a safer solution is made, I'd definitely use this. It just doesn't exactly seem possible to fully support the latest PAWN without implementing this in the SA-MP server itself.

But still, you've done a really nice job.

Yes, I'm currently working on improving compatibility. I've just fixed compatibility with some plugins, but Streamer's initialization still fails. Updated binaries will be available later.

I hope that you can fix this..

Glad to hear that.

Latest update works well with MySQL R39-5 (needs to replace enum with const and replace [] = "" with [] = ``''), log plugin (needs to replace enum with const), sscanf (needs to replace [MAX_PLAYERS char] -> {MAX_PLAYERS} and [ % 7] -> { % 7} in sscanf2.inc), nativechecker and Pawn.CMD. Don't work only sampgdk-based plugins (Streamer).

Re: nPawn - latest Pawn in SA-MP - Mauzen - 14.08.2016

Looks nice. So it actually replaces samps internal pawn interpreter with the new version?
A performance comparison would be nice to see, i cant test this on my own atm.

In some cases it wins, but in most cases it's (temporarily) bit slower. In future versions perfomance will be improved as plugin will use optimized abstract machine.

Interesting if someone got a copy of the source of this plugin, would be nice if he shared it since the original creator of this plugin has deleted all his repositories.

Re: nPawn - latest Pawn in SA-MP - Salik - 30.11.2017

Yes there is, just like the first version, look at what fixes were done can do and update if you want to throw off.
