[REQ] Better location of databases in the plugins folder

[crashzk]

Would it be possible, any way to make the databases be read in the plugins folder instead of the plugins root folder?

This way we can save time when updating the GeoLite2-Country.mmdb databases in each plugin folder that has it.

In other words, I just put it inside the CSSharp plugins folder and all plugins use the database directly from there, without having to send it to each plugin folder.

Hey, this is a valid and reasonable request. I could do this but atm I am busy with my other projects. I will try to this somewhere between 06.may - 10.may. If I don't feel free to ping me again.

@aprox2 just to remember. 😊

[aprox2]

Done. Don't have time to test it now and create a release. If you have the time you can build it and try
#3

[crashzk]

@aprox2 I compiled and sent this new version, plugin doesn't even start. No error logs, nothing, just doesn't start the plugin, previous version everything is fine.

.NET 8.0 version of CSSharp I'm using.

[aprox2]

Wtf. Ok Ill try to fix this today

[aprox2]

Hey was busy, but I fixed a bug. Also if nothing is loading make sure to update the metamod dev package. Try now and if it works I will push these changes and update the Readme file

[crashzk]

Nothing yet, plugin doesn't load yet.

Would support for NET 8.0 be possible? CSSharp is already using it.

Note: I removed all the plugins that used this database and others GeoLite2-XXX.mmdb and placed the databases in the plugins folder, but the plugin still didn't work.

That's weird, because it did load for me and it was working. Add me on Discord, we can try to debug there "aproxje".
