Welcome to the official open.mp includes, vastly upgraded and improved from the original versions - more functions, more correctness, more compile-time checks. open.mp is the culmination of years of gradual improvements, fixes, and hard-learnt best practices for pawn code and SA:MP. It is the direct continuation of several projects all with the same aim - making online San Andreas better for everyone:
If you are completely new to Pawn programming click here for the beginner documentation, showing you how to get your first server started: readme-beginner.md
If you are an expert at Pawn programming click here for the expert documentation, detailing all the changes made and their reasons: readme-expert.md
If you are somewhere in between click here for the intermediate documentation, which just tells you how to upgrade your code: readme-intermediate.md
Many legacy libraries using sampctl will reference samp-stdlib and pawn-stdlib directly, which this library replaces entirely. We need to trick sampctl in to not downloading those libraries so that this one takes precedence. A new @open.mp branch has been added to both projects to achieve this. They are completely empty so there are no duplicates of files. Using this tag version in pawn.json in your project will ensure that and other dependencies including those libraries transitively will use the same tag, and then including <open.mp> in your main file will correctly set all the requisite defines to appear to those libraries like you have included <a_samp>. Basically your pawn.json should first include:
"dependencies": [
"openmultiplayer/omp-stdlib",
"pawn-lang/[email protected]",
"pawn-lang/[email protected]"
],All other dependencies go after these three lines.
