You can always find the latest version of CSDM as a package at the AMX Mod X forums, in the CSDM Plugin Thread.
The source code is available in full in its CVS Repository.
CSDM Mod requires AMX Mod X 1.60 or higher. Most plugins will require the Engine and CSTRIKE modules enabled. It was designed to run on Counter-Strike and will not work on any other mod (except Condition Zero).
To install the mod, follow these directions:
;Counter-Strike Deathmatch Module csdm_amxx
csdm_active 1
Configuration is done entirely through the csdm.cfg file in amxmodx/configs. These values are NOT cvars! The csdm.cfg file is a special file that is read and parsed separately so multiple plugins can easily see values in it. Each value is explained either in the csdm.cfg file or in the documentation provided by the respective plugin.
These are commands that can be typed through the console..
| Admin Commands | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Command | What it Does | Plugin | Access Level |
| csdm_enable/csdm_disable | Switches whether CSDM mode is on or off. | csdm_main | f |
| csdm_reload | Reloads the csdm.cfg config file. | csdm_main | f |
| csdm_menu | Shows the CSDM admin menu. | csdm_main | u |
| edit_spawns | Shows the spawn editing menu (for adding or changing map support). Map config files are stored in amxmodx/configs/csdm/map.spawns.cfg, where map is the map name. | spawn_editor | f |
| csdm_cache | Developers - shows information about the CSDM runtime cache. | csdm_main | f |
guns, /guns, menu, enablemenu, enable_menu| Saying any of these re-enables the equip menu.
| csdm_equip

CSDM 2.0 is modular. The base portion is a module built to handle and capture primitive events, as well as express things which would be computationally expensive as a plugin. It is optimized for efficiency.
The idea behind CSDM 2.0 is rather than including every portion in one plugin, developers can write simple addons, using the basic events provided by the module. This way using other modules or expensive parsing is often not necessary. For a full reference of CSDM 2.0's API, you should see csdm.inc in the scripting/include folder of the CSDM download, or view it on CVS: csdm.inc. A good example of a simple plugin using the API is csdm_tickets.sma.
The module automatically respawns players whenever a player joins, a round restarts, or a player dies. The spawn events allow plugins to interrupt or hook various importat stages in a player's death/revival. The module makes no attempt to spawn players in a certain location, it simply revives them. Instead, it allows "spawn handlers" to attach. The current spawn style handler (set by csdm_main) is notified when it can relocate a player.
The module handles the following things, notifying plugins:
Lastly, the module also contains fast routines for common things, such as setting/retrieving player positions, respawning players through the CSDM interface, and removing weapons from the world or players.
I do not officially support CSDM, as it is an open-source project I created in my spare time. However, if you've read the manual and speak English I might be able to help you out. You can find me:
