Most of each client's data is indeed cached in the server. In this case passing-by-reference has little to no impact on the code speed, it's more probable that return value was intended to be used as ...

It already exists and you can compile it, though it's command-line based.

I'd suggest for somewhat effective missing brackets finder to perform following steps: 1. preprocess input file(via pawncc with switch) 2. consider brackets in strings and any other possible place aft...

Today I learned: You can do stuff like pawn Код: #tryinclude test"#tryinclude test> Also if you try: pawn Код: #tryinclude a_samp"#assert defined a_samp" As expected you get compile-time as...

The one important thing you gain with good indentation is easily avoidable dangling-else problem.(Interestingly this reason is explicitly stated in compiler sources)

The fundamental workings of y_commands and zcmd are actually simple and quite reasonable. If you have a command named "testcmd" its faster to call a function with that name directly(actually all funct...

Today I learned you can have (almost) arbitrary placed numeric placeholders(they are skipped while parsing though): All of these are valid: Code: 0b_10_1 0x_1DEAD 1_3_4_5 1_2.1_e-4 And as a added bon...

You can try to add the "samp compatible" patches by ZeeX that are located here: "https://github.com/Zeex/pawn-3.2.3664_patches/tree/master/samp_compatible"

YSI Server Includes as a base framework and modules system such as PAWN-Boilerplate by Slice(which also includes YSI and some other cool stuff.)

Quote: I am advanced / professional coder and i require of code purity. You are not. Also learn proper English.

I'd say mini-mode and y_properties should be priority. YSI Documentation should really be taken care by other scripters because you do not need that much of a knowledge to document YSI, just a lot of ...

There should be some slight speed gain by using C++ because AFAIK in samp-gdk, when calling native, samp-gdk hooks amx_Register and intercepts all the natives so you have a direct access to that funct...

use load.s.pri instead of const.pri (same thing with ALT)

You can get required patches from ZeeX's github repo, the download link is also provided.

switch is implemented just as a if-elseif-else in current Pawn VM so you are doing pretty much the same slow stuff.

Lookup Slice's project called PAWN-Boilerplate, though unreleased yet, I find it very mature and it serves exactly to make building a new gamemode easier. Why start from scratch, when you can build on...

Today I learned that pattern name is called prefix. The prefix is the part of pattern that begins at the beginning of the pattern and ends on first occurrence of non-alphabetic character. Note: in thi...
