ServerGameDLL003 not found in Day of Defeat: Source

Code:

Metamod:Source could not find ServerGameDLL003 in GameDLL: ./srcds/dod/bin/server_i486.so

Day of Defeat: Source uses ServerGameDLL004. I haven't tested making sourcemm just use the current interface as 004, but that might work. If not, I guess we have to wait for an SDK update or something?

We will need an SDK update. Thanks Valve, for

a)Not updating the SDK, and
b)Not making a usable interface that allows for proper backward compatibility.

Well 004 only adds two new functions, PostInit(void) and Think(bool). The rest don't change as far as I can tell. I'm guessing the return type for the former is bool and the latter is void. I'm thinking of making my own header file this and testing it out, but I'm not entirely sure how you'd implement it in sourcemm.

Maybe one could make a wrapper class for the two?

Well well well:

My plugin failed due to not having ServerGameDLL003, ironically. I made CServerGameDLL store pointers for both interfaces, then use the new one if the old one is NULL. Obviously this isn't the best solution so I tried making a wrapper class. The server loaded fine but metamod itself seemed to get bypassed completely.

Also: I haven't tested the two new functions, so I'm not sure if my definitions will work properly. Here's the class I made for the new interface:

Code:

#define INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL2 "ServerGameDLL004"



class IServerGameDLL2

{

        [functions from the old class]

        virtual bool PostInit(void) = 0;

        virtual void Think(bool) = 0;

};

If the definitions don't work, you could just make them do nothing in the wrapper class.

Where did you find about these new functions?

From the symbol table. I compared the functions CS:S had for CServerGameDLL to DoD:S's and noticed that the functions they shared didn't change. But it did have these two new functions:

0060acd0 T _ZN14CServerGameDLL5ThinkEb
0060a550 T _ZN14CServerGameDLL8PostInitEv

The "b" at the end of the first means it takes one bool argument. The "v" at the end of the second is void.

Unfortunately dumping the symbol table isn't the same thing as having interface definitions. Valve needs to provide that before I add compatibility.

Update: I've e-mailed Alfred Reynolds asking for some clarification.

cool bail, please keep us updated so we can get sourcemm to work with dod:s.

Mani

any updates? I would like to get sourcemm installed on my server.
