As far as I know... no. But that's because I haven't been doing much development on Viper.

Get it working for source games (e.g. TF2) on Linux and i'll use this for sure. Nothing better than having python embedded in a game. It should be far more powerful than 'Pawn' plus I already know it thoroughly so it would allow me to code some rather good plugins.

Any chance there'll be some love for SDKTools any time soon?

I've never used python.. it looks like I can create classes in python though!!!!!! Something I want for pawn. If this is true, I'm gonna move my stuff to this and say good riddance to pawn.

I'm wondering how speed is when comparing to pawn and python...

The only thing that's keeping me from doing my project using Viper (it would be AMAZING done with OOP) is the lack of support for SDKTools and some other things.

I looked at eventscripts and there's little documentation on certain parts. I can see how it could be very easy to use if data needs to be READ, but when it comes to manipulating the game the entity properties stuff drives me crazy. Also, it seems out of date in certain areas.

In any case, Viper would be a perfect option. My project requires stuff like TF_RemoveWeaponSlot, however, along with some other SDKTools things, so until that works it's a no-go.

it says python25.dll is missing. You dont have any instructions on installing python itself.

INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING PYTHON:

1. Go here http://python.org/download/
2. Open setup executable and follow instructions.
3. You're done!

(you don't need 2.5, just anything above it and under 3.0)

But I dont have access to the physical hardware my server is hosted on. Just an FTP

Bah.. Nuclear Fallout says to have the author include python like ES does because they don't support external libraries. DAMNIT.. I really wanted some OOPs...

Hmm, that's a good point. I hadn't thought of that given that I ran viper from srcds on my computer and I already had python installed on it. I wonder what companies like gameservers would think about allowing the execution of python. I wouldn't imagine they'd think too kindly of it.

Yah it's too bad. I hope it somehow gets linked into the dll so i can use it. I started doing my sample plugin too.
