How to use sm_dump functions?

[vaskrist]

Hi,

I am kind of new to scripting :shock: and server administration and am in the phase of gathering all the information I need to script efficiently.

In a few posts I have come upon the sm_dump_netprops ?commands? that are supposed to dump kinda all the properties I can query, but I don't know how or where to invoke that command to get the list.

What I have done so far:
I have seen the sm_dump_netprops_xml command in the sdktools.ext.2.nd.dll (as I am playing around with ND) and in the in-game console after typing sm exts list I can see "SDK Tools" (1.6.2) by AlliedModders LLC: Source SDK Tools. But the command is not accessible in the console.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Ok, my bad ... after reading my post one more time it just clicked and I tried the comand in the server console and it worked.

Consider this question resolved, but let's hope that it would help someone else who would be new in this.

You have to enter that command directly in the server console or via rcon.
If you type
sm_dump_netprops netprops.txt in the server console sourcemod will create a file called "netprops.txt" in the game folder, next to the cfg, addons, maps folders etc. containing all netprops you can access via GetEntProp*(.., Prop_Send, ..)

If you type sm_dump_datamaps datamaps.txt you get all the props you can access with GetEntProp*(.., Prop_Data, ..)

Thanks a lot. The datamaps was more like what I was looking for.

I hope you won't mind answering a few more questions for me:

Is there someplace where all the sm_dump commands are summed up? (so that I don't have to bug you for each of them)
Is there a way to check at runtime/from source all the events I can use? (I know about the wiki Generic_Source_Events (https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Generic_Source_Events), Nuclear_Dawn_Events (https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Nuclear_Dawn_Events))
Who do I tell when I find errors in those lists? (like the typo in 'research_comlete' or 'blueprint_update' not existing)


Thanks a lot for the info.

You can just type find sm_dump in server console and list them, just like you search for any other command or convar.
find sm_dump
"sm_dump_teprops"
- Dumps tempentity props to a file
"sm_dump_netprops_xml"
- Dumps the networkable property table as an XML file
"sm_dump_netprops"
- Dumps the networkable property table as a text file
"sm_dump_classes"
- Dumps the class list as a text file
"sm_dump_datamaps"
- Dumps the data map list as a text file
"sm_dump_handles"
- Dumps Handle usage to a file for finding Handle leaks
"sm_dump_admcache"
- Dumps the admin cache for debugging
