suggestion
Ghello dudes !
I noticed there's a TOTAL new version of AMXMODX (1.71). This version is a major improvement seeing the current one running. Normally I don't suggest upgrading until major improvement is realized (core-technically speaking(like less lagg nd stuph)/new functions we can definite use)... The current version we are running on CS and DOD is 1.6... Wadda ya guys think, should we upgrade or stay on the current level ?... Ive added some techical stuph and I beleive some of u can interprete this... have a read and spam on ! ;]
...well, to make it easier on U: read the lines containing the words HEAVILY, IMPROVED & BUG
note:
*heavily means: *they* really thought about it
*heavily improved means: the program runs absolutely more efficient --> program runs faster --> less or no lagg when function is invoked --> happy pp on the server !
*improved means: more efficient (less then I mentioned in the line above)
*bug means: when function is invoked *wierd* unexplainable stuff happens that nobody comprehends... errm ... something like that ... well, with the word *bug* comes *fixed* as you notice when reading the lines ... catch me drift ? .. GR8 ! ;]
