1.2.0.10 released and webcompiler's includes updated - vittu - Feb 09, 2009 17:06
SuperHero Mod 1.2.0 build 10 has been packaged and released. The main reason for a repackaging was because of updated SH includes used in the AMX Mod X webcompiler.
You can check the svn to see what files have changed and redownload the main package here.
1.2.0.10 changes added to current changelog:
--------------------------
The AMX Mod X webcompiler has been updated with includes from the SuperHero Mod 1.2.0.10 release. [S]You can now use the "Get Plugin" link in hero posts for SuperHero Mod 1.2.0 and above. Users running SuperHero Mod 1.18e or below be aware you will no longer be able to use the "Get Plugin" link, you must now compile locally.
If you see the following error using the "Get Plugin" link...
...please report it in the post of the hero with the problem and I will try to fix the issue with compiling the hero asap.[/S]
Update: The normal webcompiler located here is correctly updated. The "Get Plugin" compiler in forum posts does not yet work due to a bug which has been reported. Please do not use "Get Plugin", I will post a news post when it gets fixed.

A small bug fix for SuperHero Mod 1.2.0.8 has been released. - vittu - Aug 27, 2008 00:06
A small but vital bug fix has been released for SuperHero Mod 1.2.0.8.
The bug effects the cvars sh_minlevel and sh_mercyxp (sh_mercyxp is only effected if sh_mercyxpmode is set to 2). The superhero.ini was being read too late causing the core to set the cvar values to 0.
This has been fixed as of revision 9. To avoid future problems with this bug, the main download has been updated to 1.2.0.9. Servers with 1.2.0.8 can either get the updated superheromod.sma from the svn or update from the main download.
Only superheromod.sma was affected and the change is minor. superheroconst.inc was also updated to reflect the change in build.

AMX Mod X 1.8.1 released / SuperHero 1.2.0 released - vittu - Aug 18, 2008 01:06
AMX Mod X 1.8.1 was released yesterday. For any of you running 1.8.0 I would highly advise updating to 1.8.1 for its bug fixes.

With that being said, on the heels of a new AMX Mod X release comes SuperHero Mod 1.2.0 (plugin version). It's been a long time coming, held off mainly due to requirements of testing code changes and time constraints. This release is primarily a code update (shedding old code for newer/better methods), though it also an overhaul and addition of forwards and natives, and it also has a few bug fixes and feature additions.
Hero creators should take a look at the new and changes to natives in superheromod.inc, many new things available along with improvements to old scripting style. You can look at default 1.2.0 heroes to see how new methods are implemented.
Many of you will be happy that bots will choose powers automatically now. Though they will still not be able to use the bound powers, will look into that into the future possibly an external plugin for it.

SH for CS:S & SuperHero Mod 1.19 news - vittu - Jul 12, 2007 20:28
Apparently there is a SuperHero Mod being created for SourceMod. This project has nothing to do with the SuperHero Mod or the SuperHero Mod Team. Do not ask in the superhero mod forums anything about this project as it has nothing to do with us.
Seeing as I am practically the only active member on the team and the limited time I do have to devote to SuperHero Mod, I have no plans to port it to SourceMod. Freecode at one point had begun a port and if he chooses he will probably continue it, but I will not be apart of any SourceMod project for SuperHero Mod.
Support his project if you wish, but do not post anything about it here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=116
---------------------------------
Now on to what's going on:
I have begun to take up where jtp10181 left off with the plugin version of SuperHero Mod, with updating the core of SH mod and fully converting to amxmodx for improved functionality. That being said I no longer support the Module version of SuperHero Mod and will not work on it. If Freecode decides he will do with it as he wishes, but I will not be doing any work on it.
I will try to get out an intermediate version as soon as I can, but please do not ask when this update will be available. There will be many coding changes in 1.19 from 1.18e that will lead up to a 1.20 version. (In reality this version is 1.20 but I decided to make a 1.19 without the code that will make old heroes incompatible. Though I will try to make an option to use both new and old methods). There are not many new features as this is mainly a change in coding methods as all heroes will need to be recompiled and might even require amxmodx 1.80 (not out yet) due to an issue found with versions prior to 1.80 of amxmodx. Some things to look forward to: SH will be able to recognize more heroes (currently problems occur after 60-80 due to old coding methods, have tested up to 95 all being usable), VIP support has been added, small improvements against xp farming, etc...

SuperHero Module On Halt. - Freecode - Nov 19, 2006 07:19
Its very basic. Im the only developer on the module. Work is taking up too much time and I have to halt the development on the module for some time. I apologise to all those who have switched to it. I DO recommend using the plugin version untill i can finish it.
Good day.
