I'm am wondering if there is anyway a plugin can force a client side screenshot and have it uploaded to the server.

Reason I'm asking is because this is something that can be done in other games, but I'm not sure if there is away for you code it in sourcepawn.

I'm pretty sure I saw a "no" given long time ago about the same question. Valve also patched running every commands possible on the client long ago. Plus if it was possible, I'm pretty sure SMAC would have it implemented already.

There are probably ways to make the client execute the screenshot command, but there is no way to fetch client files from the server (god thanks).

There is ways to make the client execute the screenshot command , but that method is not allowed on alliedmodders since it's a exploit.

Anyway as berni said it's not possible to fetch the clients files from the server.

I recommend you to use a sourcetv plugin which records the player instead.

I wouldn't call it long ago, since it was only fixed a few months ago for Orange Box games.

Valve fixed all known exploits (and a few new ones) recently, as a slightly questionable closed-source AC plugin used one to do exactly this.

There are standard functions in the netchannel interface to fetch whitelisted files.

I don't think there has been a sync with CS:S since the change.
