Community patches for buggy SA:MP functions.

Introduction

SA:MP is beta software written by a small team in their spare time, thus it has bugs (as does all software). Some of these have been known for a long time but are low priority due to their minor effects, others go undiscovered for a long time. Many of these bugs have solutions which can be implemented in PAWN (and this may be simpler than implementing them in the SA:MP source code). This include aims to collect fixes for as many of these bugs as possible from the community (i.e. anyone who has a fix) together in to one easy to use place for everyone's benefit.

Use

This library is a single-file include. The only required part is:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pawn-lang/sa-mp-fixes/master/fixes.inc

Save this file as pawno/include/fixes.inc then include it after the default SA:MP functions, but before third party includes:

#include <a_samp>
// Any default re-definitions should go here.
//#undef MAX_PLAYERS
//#define MAX_PLAYERS 10
#include <fixes>

#include <other>

To disable any fix for whatever reason simply do:

#define FIX_<name> 0

For example, to disable all the file.inc fixes if you always correctly check the file handle, do:

#include <a_samp>
#define FIX_file_inc 0
#include <fixes>
#include <other>

All the names of the fixes are single words, and are all listed with their fix descriptions below.

If you only have one script running on your server (i.e. no FilterScripts), you can use this define to improve the fixes.inc code:

#include <a_samp>
#define FIXES_Single 1
#include <fixes>
#include <other>

See below for more configuration settings.

If you use sampctl the inclusion path to go under dependencies is:

"pawn-lang/sa-mp-fixes"

You can also download the entire repo using git, and will get a more complete experience, including better warnings and this documentation.
