Build SA:MP gamemodes with Go

Bishop

Maybe it's not a Queen yet but it's still something something better than pawn to write SA:MP gamemodes. Do it with Go!

What is this anyway?

This is a wrapper for sampgdk adjusted for go users. All the files in the root directory (except README.md and go.mod are generated with contrib/generate.sh script. Basically, swig and some code generation.

TODO

• Windows
• Argument names in bishop.go file (SWIG lacks such functionallity)
• Add possibility to get strings. E. g. GetPlayerName

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/Savolro/bishop"
)

func init() {
	bishop.CallbackOnGameModeInit = func() bool {
		// TODO: s/worst/best
		fmt.Println("Hello from the worst gamemode ever created!")
		return true
	}
}

func main() {}

Building

Linux

GOARCH=386 CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -buildmode=c-shared -o yourgamemode.so

How to use

1. Download SA:MP server from here. You can delete all filterscripts, scriptfiles, gamemodes, etc.
2. Create empty gamemode .amx file to gamemodes sub-directory
3. Create sub-directory plugins and place yourgamemode.so file in there
4. Configure your server.cfg file
5. Add such line to your server.cfg (on Linux):

plugins yourgamemode.so
