Keywords
Cleo
Cleo library (or simply CLEO) is a hugely popular extensible plugin for the Grand Theft Auto games series by Rockstar Games. Cleo library allows the usage of thousands of unique mods which change or expand the gameplay.
SampFunctions
SAMPFUNCS (abbreviated SF) is a mod, created and maintained by FYP, that expands the CLEO 4 library and adds extended support for SA-MP related functions.
Beside CLEO, it also supports the creations of plugins(.sf) in C++ using the API provided.
SAMPFUNCS is only compatible with the current SA-MP version at release time.
Cleo Scripts
A CLEO script is a custom script written for the Grand Theft Auto games series by Rockstar Games. While these games already provide a very rich gameplay experience, they can be easily expanded by adding new features or tweaking existing ones. These scripts can be compiled with a compiler such as Sanny Builder into a single binary file with the extension .cs (Custom Script). Anyone can learn to write their own scripts and share them freely with other CLEO users!
Cleo Plugins
CLEO plugins are dynamic libraries with the .CLEO extension. At startup, the CLEO library scans the CLEO folder for the .CLEO files and tries to load them. In case of success the plugins begin to work and do what they were made for.
CLEO 4 allows to make new opcodes using sources of the CLEO SDK. The starter kit contains three examples of such plugins:
IniFiles.cleo - opcodes for INI files;
FileSystemOperations.cleo - opcodes for files and folders.
IntOperations.cleo - opcodes for logical operations (AND, OR, XOR, etc).
Cleo Opcodes
CLEO 4 adds 100 useful scripting commands (more with SampFuncs) (opcodes) that make possible to work with external files, to change the game memory, to call exe functions with custom parameters and much more.
New opcodes were added in the fourth version to play audio streams, to format strings, to display custom texts on screen without using external text files (.fxt, .gxt).
