I'm running the latest version of Metamod-P:
meta version

Patch: Metamod-P (mm-p) v31
by Jussi Kivilinna
    http://metamod-p.sourceforge.net/
compiled: Apr  5 2007, 11:07:06 EET (optimized)

I have my liblist.gam file setup as:
]# grep gamedll /hlds/tfc/liblist.gam
gamedll "dlls\tfc.dll"
//gamedll_linux "dlls/tfc_i386.so"
gamedll_linux "addons/Metamod-P/dlls/metamod_i386.so"
]#

I have my directory structure as:
]# ls -alh /hlds/tfc/addons/ | grep -i meta
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    9 Apr  2 23:33 metamod -> Metamod-P
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    9 Apr  2 23:33 Metamod -> Metamod-P
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    9 Apr  2 23:43 MetaMod -> Metamod-P

]#

When I check the config:
meta config
Config options from localinfo:
   debuglevel           0

   gamedll             

   plugins_file         /hlds/tfc/addons/Metamod-Pv1.19p31/plugins.ini

   exec_cfg             addons/metamod/exec.cfg

   autodetect           true

   clientmeta           true

it can be clearly seen that "exec_cfg" is hard coded. Can you please make it so that it isn't hardcoded? I had to setup symlinks because of this hardcoded lowercase metamod. The "plugins_file" is correctly finding itself in the filesystem even with symlinks as it should :)

plugins_file isn't fixed. Metamod still reads hardcoded path 'addons/metamod/plugins.ini' but corrects displayed pathname to remove symlinks. If you want to override default hardcoded paths see: http://metamod-p.sourceforge.net/doc/html/metamod.html#localinfo

For the "meta config" output can you make it so that "exec_cfg" output is similar to the "plugins_file" output?? For example:
   plugins_file         /hlds/tfc/addons/Metamod-Pv1.19p31/plugins.ini

   exec_cfg             /hlds/tfc/addons/Metamod-Pv1.19p31/exec.cfg

instead of the current:
   plugins_file         /hlds/tfc/addons/Metamod-Pv1.19p31/plugins.ini

   exec_cfg             addons/metamod/exec.cfg

Also in the first scenario above where
/hlds/tfc/addons/:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   17 Apr 14 16:20 Metamod-P -> Metamod-Pv1.19p31
drwxr-x---   3 root root 4.0K Apr 23 01:54 Metamod-Pv1.19p31

can't you detect where you are in the filesystem from
/hlds/tfc/liblist.gam:
gamedll_linux "addons/Metamod-P/dlls/metamod_i386.so"

and then just look for /hlds/tfc/addons/Metamod-Pv1.19p31/plugins.ini
rather than looking for addons/metamod/plugins.ini ??

I'd rather not go all trouble of making yet another release just to fix print output that isn't fixed in metamod.org.
Sure I can detect where metamod.dll/so is in filesystem. I wont do it because that isn't the way metamod.org does things and I want to keep metamod-p compatible with metamod.org with this. So please instead of requesting these features here, request theim for metamod.org so when they are implemented there I can do same here.

I wouldn't expect you to make these minor changes and then do another release... However the next time you go to do another release, could you then please include these changes?

I will also go and request the same changes at metamod.org as requested.

Requested:

Metamod hasn't been updated since 2006/04/17, while you have done 3 updates since then. Could you please consider adding these changes to your next release.
