In this very opinionated write-up, we'll go over alternative libraries and plugins that can be used to replace some functionality found in YSI.
YSI is a set of libraries for SA-MP/open.mp servers that are admittedly useful, but often criticized for their bloated, complicated nature and occasional questionable actions by its main developer. (Sneaking in malicious code to hinder the experience of unassuming SA-MP Android users)
Over the years, people have expressed displeasure when using these libraries since they are over-engineered and can often cause issues that are confusing for less experienced pawn scripters. We'll go over some alternative libraries that are more plug-and-play, are way less hacky and can be used to produce cleaner code. (in my opinion)
A lot of the libraries and snippets I'll be sending depend on the PawnPlus plugin. PawnPlus is a very neat plugin that greatly expands the potential of pawn scripting in SA
