holidayhelladdon.coralie.megabrutal.com:27019. Do you also run or know about any Christmas servers I should check?Think() callback for it with a sufficient delay set for nextthink. Now I'm wondering if this is the elegant way of delaying actions in a plugin or is there a more straightforward way.ClientPutInServer which runs when the player enters the game, but unfortunately it is too early to send messages from here.
void ClientPutInServer( edict_t *pEntity ) {
const char* playername = STRING(pEntity->v.netname);
char* modelname = g_engfuncs.pfnInfoKeyValue( g_engfuncs.pfnGetInfoKeyBuffer( pEntity ), "model" );
char modelfile[256];
snprintf(modelfile, sizeof(modelfile), "models/player/%s/%s.mdl", modelname, modelname);
LOG_MESSAGE(PLID, "Player %s is using model %s", playername, modelname);
if (fileExists( modelfile )) {
LOG_MESSAGE(PLID, "Model %s is present on server", modelname);
SAY(pEntity, "Your model is present on the server, it will be precached for the next round!");
if (addPrecacheEntry( playername, modelname ))
LOG_MESSAGE(PLID, "Added model %s to precache list", modelname);
else
LOG_MESSAGE(PLID, "Model %s will not be precached - reduntant or precache list is full", modelname);
}
else {
LOG_MESSAGE(PLID, "Unable to precache due to FILE MISSING: %s!", modelfile);
SAY(pEntity, "Your model is not present on the server, can't distribute for other players!");
}
RETURN_META(MRES_IGNORED);
}SAY() doesn't work. I think somehow I should add some timing, so the message would be sent several seconds later when they are already playing. (Just an irrelevant sidenote: the log message "Model %s will not be precached - reduntant or precache list is full" is confusing, because if the model is already added to the list, it WILL be precached for the next round, but won't if the list is full.)SAY() is a macro I defined to send raw messages – I remember there are other methods I tried, but all of them effectively do this at their core.
#define SAY(pEntity, text) {\
MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_ONE, GET_USER_MSG_ID(PLID, "SayText", NULL), NULL, pEntity );\
WRITE_BYTE( ENTINDEX(pEntity) );\
WRITE_STRING( text );\
MESSAGE_END();\
}fileExists() here is just a wrapper for calling access() (this is the other thing I have problem with):
bool fileExists(const char* path) {
char fullpath[256];
snprintf(fullpath, sizeof(fullpath), "%s/%s", &gGamedir[0], path);
return access(fullpath, R_OK) == 0;
}LoadFileForMe() would mmap() the file – it would be somewhat better because it's faster and the kernel could at least unload it if it's not used, but it would still be better to not load files in the middle of a game when they are not needed in memory.IFileSystem in public/FileSystem.h is interesting, I think it would do what I need but I have no idea what it links to.CBarney class and overriding the methods those are different for your CCustom class.LoadFileForMe, but I don't want to load the model files at that point, just check for their existence. I also don't know the lifetime of the buffer returned by this function, is the engine smart enough to not load this file again when it is precached the next round, or would I waste memory, how to ask the engine to free it if I need to.ALLOC_STRING() would redundantly allocate the same strings for the same player models over time and I don't know when these strings get freed. So I felt like this is the only way to control the lifetimes of these strings, but I'm curious for better ideas.
func_vehicle, I want to host them on my server!
sv_allowupload is enabled... of course it's not the case...env_ entities.Tower 1 uses spirit 1.8, maybe you downloaded the wrong version? I have a Linux version of SOHL 1.8 with bug fixes here, but note that I do not test these builds on Linux.At first it didn't seem to work, then I reverted to the other libraries I had and gave up, so I noclipped through the barrier and finished the game. But then I thought to give it another try, because it occurred to me that save files might not be compatible between different SOHL versions and I was right. When I loaded the map directly, I could gauss over the barrier with ease! So yeah, it wasn't supposed to be hard.
For Tower 2, it uses a slightly customised version of SOHL 1.8, the changes are pretty minor so the same thing might work for that, otherwise you can compile it yourself from this branch.I've built the libraries but for some reason it keeps crashing randomly. Wish I knew why. It looks so random that I can't even provide useful error messages beyond "Segmentation fault". I can start the game and play for some time, but loading a saved game always leads to a crash (the save in question was made with the same libraries). Here is some output from the terminal:
I didn't have any issues with the jump when I played it, but if it's not working right you can always just noclip through.Yeah, I wanted to verify whether it's really glitched, or the different game library, or I'm just clumsy enough that I legitimately can't make that jump before cheating my way through.
Good question! Well, the TWHL Tower download from RunThinkShootLive didn't include a Linux .so file to allow me play. But I saw it's Spirit, so I just downloaded the release version of Spirit and used spirit.so from that package. It worked so far... at least, until this point. That's why I'm curious whether TWHLT utilizes a vanilla build of Spirit or has custom code that I'm obviously missing.I'm using the vanilla Spirit of Half-Life game librariesWhy?
