A fast and minimal socket plugin for SA-MP (San Andreas Multiplayer), designed to run without SSL and provide simple TCP/UDP communication capabilities for SA-MP scripts.

---

## Features

* Lightweight & minimal

* SSL-free build (for security-paranoid or minimalist environments)

* Easy to compile on Linux and Windows

* Compatible with most modern AMX-based SA-MP scripts

---

### Why I Built This Version

The original BlueG Socket plugin had a major drawback — it relied on OpenSSL (`libcrypto`, `libeay32.dll`, `ssleay32.dll`) which caused runtime issues on both Linux and Windows:

#### 🐧 Linux Issue

```ini

Failed (libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

```

#### 🪟 Windows Issue

```ini

This application failed to start because libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll were not found.

```

These external dependencies were either missing, incompatible, or flagged by antivirus software. Most users had no idea how to get the right versions or where to place them.

### ✅ The Solution

I rebuilt the plugin from source and **completely removed OpenSSL**, eliminating these issues:

* 🚫 No more `libcrypto` dependency on Linux

* 🚫 No more `libeay32.dll` / `ssleay32.dll` needed on Windows

* ✅ Just drop the plugin and it works — no DLLs, no errors, no headaches

This makes the plugin **lightweight**, **portable**, and **production-ready**, especially for custom backend communication (e.g., Node.js, Python, etc.).

Built to make your SA-MP experience smoother. 💡

## Installation

### Prerequisites

* **SA-MP Server** (0.3.7 or later)

* **Visual C++ Redistributable** (if using Windows DLL)

* **`socket.inc`**: Place it in your `pawno/include` folder

### Windows (x86)

1. Download the latest `socket.dll` from the [Releases](https://github.com/RJRYT/samp-socket-plugin/releases) page.

2. Copy `socket.dll` to your SA-MP server's `plugins` folder

3. Copy `socket.inc` to `pawno/include/`

4. Add `socket` to your `server.cfg` plugins line:

   ```ini

   plugins socket

   ```

### Linux (x86/x64)

1. Download `socket.so` from the [Releases](https://github.com/RJRYT/samp-socket-plugin/releases) page.

2. Copy `socket.so` to your `plugins` folder

3. Copy `socket.inc` to `pawno/include/`

4. Update `server.cfg`:

   ```ini

   plugins socket.so

   ```

> Make sure the plugin file has execute permissions:

```bash

chmod +x plugins/socket.so

```

## Usage

```pawn

#include 

new Socket:g_socket;

public OnGameModeInit()

{

    g_socket = socket_create(TCP);

    socket_connect(g_socket, "127.0.0.1", 7000);

}

public onSocketAnswer(Socket:id, data[], data_len)

{

    printf("[TCP Server] %s", data);

}
