How do you get the info structure of a user message without trial-and-error?
I want to send a user message that is specific to one or two games.
But with the lack of info and my disliking in having to do extensive trial-and-error, usually I'd try to find info about it online or use a hook.
So far there haven't been any successful findings about it online.
I haven't used a user message hook yet, however since I read that functions that print information to either the chat, console, or hint messages don't work in those hooks, is there any other way?
EDIT:
I meant something like this:
PHP Code:
Handle usermsg = StartMessageAll("UserMessageThatIsNotReal");
if (usermsg != null)
{
// code to pass on here
// Let's just assume that UserMessageThatIsNotReal's info goes like this:
// integer - determine the number of players that get chosen by the game
// integer - what client index to start from
// It would probably go like this:
BfWriteByte(usermsg, 5);
BfWriteByte(usermsg, -1);
EndMessage();
// I want to know the values and the assortment of them for a user message in L4D2 called 'Splatter' but
// I have no idea what the assortment of that usermsg is, and how many values I have to pass
}
And how did usermsg all tie to EngineVersion or a specific feature the game contains?
