Yeah; that's what I figured -- DeathNotice does a lot.

Originally Posted by Shadowysn I only made a bit of progress in the gamedata part because all the other things like CTFGameRules::DeathNotice still need CTakeDamageInfo. And oddly enough, all of the DeathNotice function(s) weren't called in CTFPlayer's Event_Killed or FeignDeath function.

It does, actually: CTFPlayer::FeignDeath() calls g_pGameRules->DeathNotice right before the call to CTFPlayer::ShouldDropAmmoPack; g_pGameRules gets dereferenced then calls it virtually (listed as call dword ptr [edx+14Ch], or a call to vtable offset 83).

A virtual gamerules SDKCall should work, theoretically.

So, something like:

PHP Code:

// GAMEDATA
"CTFGameRules::DeathNotice"
{
    "library"    "server"
    "linux"        "@_ZN12CTFGameRules11DeathNoticeEP11CBasePlayerRK15CTakeDamageInfoPKc"
    "windows"    "\x55\x8B\x2A\x81\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x53\x56\x8B\x2A\x2A\x8B\x2A\xC7\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A"
}

// PLUGIN
StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Entity);
if (!PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(hConf, SDKConf_Signature, "CTFGameRules::DeathNotice"))
{
    SetFailState("[SM] Failed to set AC-DR CTFGameRules::DeathNotice from config!");
}
PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_CBasePlayer, SDKPass_Pointer);
PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_PlainOldData, SDKPass_Plain);
Handle hDeathNotice = EndPrepSDKCall();

int tf_gamerules = FindEntityByClassname(-1, "tf_gamerules");
if (IsValidEntity(tf_gamerules))
SDKCall(hDeathNotice, tf_gamerules, client); 


...or do I have to find something in the binary again?

Your gamedata uses the DeathNotice call with a char* parameter, so you'll want to add that or use the one that isn't (which just calls the one you've declared with "player_death" as the last parameter, for other killfeed notices like the fish.).

There is a SDKCall_GameRules call type, so you don't need to pass in a gamerules instance.

Invoking the function would then be something like

SDKCall(hDeathNotice, victim, pTakeDamageInfo, "player_death");

Otherwise, I think that should be fine. I did make a mistake though; the size of CTakeDamageInfo should be 0x68 (last member is at 0x64).

Okay. Understood most of what you were saying, but still no progress on that SDKCall.
Well, I've decided to try out Source Scramble.

Except I have no idea what to do to create the damage info object.

Allocation is performed by instantiating a MemoryBlock instance, and deletion performed by freeing the handle. Let me know if there's anything unclear in the extension's documentation.

Attached is known working code that creates a killfeed notice whenever a player is attacked by another player. pls donate

Oh wow, thank you so much!
I haven't got the time to test the code, but if it works I'll finally be able to focus more on the bugs and other things. (hitsounds, proper death screams, etc.)
After I sort the code of course, I think it looks like a mess right now.

EDIT: Yep, it works perfectly!

i iz no money of own
