FAQ

Short answers to common questions.

Is Knight a SA-MP plugin?

No. It is a standalone server that speaks the SA-MP protocol. The official client connects to it directly.

Do I need Pawn?

No. Gamemodes are written in Knight (.sa). Pawn .amx files are not supported.

Do I need Go installed?

Not to run Knight. The release binaries are self-contained. Go is only needed if you build the engine yourself.

Where do custom models go?

Anywhere. Pass a path to AddCharModel / AddSimpleModel; a bare file name is looked up in the optional artpath folder.

Can I use MySQL?

Yes. mysql_open, mysql_tquery, mysql_pquery, mysql_format, mysql_errno, mysql_close and the cache_* getters are available, alongside SQLite.

Does it support 0.3.DL?

Yes. Custom skins and objects are sent only to 0.3.DL clients; 0.3.7 clients fall back to base models.

Why is there no self or sa. prefix?

The API is native-first. Callbacks receive playerid, and natives are plain global functions.
