Check If Admin Mod Is Loaded

Once you have sucessfully installed Admin Mod it should load when you run the server. But how can you tell?

Start the server as normal. Once the server has loaded the map and is just sitting idly use the meta list command at the console. This should result in a listing like this:

meta list
Currently loaded plugins:
      description      stat pend  file              vers      src  load  unlod
 [ 1] Adminmod         RUN   -    admin_mm.dll      v2.50.60  ini  Start Start
1 plugins, 1 running

This listing tells you two things:

• The first thing it tells you is that metamod is running. Metamod responds to the meta command, the meta list lists all metamod mods that metamod is aware of.

   

  • If the meta list command does not produce an output listing then metamod is either not loaded or not working.

     

• The second thing it tells you is whether or not Admin Mod is loaded. In this example Admin Mod can be seen to have been loaded from an entry in the ini file. We are told when it can be started and stopped and that it is currently active.

   

  • If Admin Mod is not on this list then it is not present in the metamod plugins.ini file.

     

  • If Admin Mod is present but not active then there will be a reason that metamod could not load or start Admin Mod. This reason can be found in the log files by settting the meta_debug cvar to level 2 or 3 and reading the debug messages produced by metamod.
