You must create a memory file called "weaponModels". Go to addons/amxmodx/configs/orpheu/memory and create a file called "weaponModels". Copy inside it:

PHP Code:

{
    "name"        : "weaponModels",
    "library"     : "mod",
    "type"        : "string",
    "memoryType"  : "data"
} 


Also, I am doing this though orpheu because (as I was told) it is a lot faster/more efficient for the server to handle. I would like to change a huge amount of resources, (well I'd think they're huge) including sprites & all models.

Orpheu only allows direct interaction with the server. When you use orpheu to replace strings(yes, it can replace any string from the game, not only resources) it directly change the value into the code.

Imagine memory like this:

---------------------------------

And let's say you want to replace the red block with a blue one. Using orpheu you will change it completly.

---------------------------------

The only advantage here is that replacing with orpheu does not increase precache list(since you remove the old block and insert yours). The limit is 512 resources, this is why it is important to avoid increasing precache list.

Since you are beginner, I honestly don't know how to explain it simpler and clearer.

If that plugin can do it as efficient as orpheu functions/swaps then I shall swiftly change to this. In the meantime and for learning purposes, what does that error require to fix?

The plugin I gave you is basically using orpheu to replace string in memory, but does it in a sane way, with proper checks. It also take care of unpatching.
It can also replace player models, in dynamic replacement mode.

Ah this makes sense, thanks I understood the memory thing, just hazy on the terms and how to execute such.

So I used that plugin and it's working like a charm!

And thanks for the code btw Was looking for this for some time. I plan on replacing all weapons and player models if I can.

I'm now looking for a way to intercept the HUD color string/function/parameter from the client.dll.

I'm guessing this file is client-side only, and I'm unable in any way to change the color of the HUD to white (and remove the yellow color that is pre-set in the client.dll file).

1. Can orpheu allow me to intercept this string/function/parameter also from the client.dll?

2. Will the plugin provided have the same size precache list when compared to doing it "natively" in orpheu as I have begun in above posts?

[HamletEagle]

1.You can't control client side things from the server.
2.If you use complete replacement mode, your precache list won't increase(it's using orpheu to patch memory) because old models are not precached. The reason why patch code is different is because it handle situations like:

model1 model
model2 model

So when you replace different models with same string. With your code, you won't be able to unpatch later. What I did asw to save the address of each string, so I'll know what to do later.

If you use dynamic replacement mode(and you must use it for player models) precache list will be increased. I don't think you have reasons to worry if you are replacing few player models.

Is type edict_t * supported?

It should be edict_s * in Orpheu? Am I right?

Yes.

Just detected a little bug.

This happens when HOOKING the function "packPlayerItem"

Anything else needed?

[HamletEagle]

Are you doing anything else or just hooking the function?

[meTaLiCroSS]

It's a simple callback

PHP Code:

public OnPackPlayerItem(id, wid, full) server_print("OnPackPlayerItem called id %d wid %d ammo %d", id, wid, full) 


Output isn't shown, because I guess forward isn't called since it stopped converting their params

EDIT: If I remember well, I had problems with this function when calling it with Okapi. It might be a problem of the function I guess.

Using such signature on windows hlds, it works ok:

{
	"name"      : "packPlayerItem",
	"library"   : "mod",
	"arguments" :
	[
		{
			"type" : "CBasePlayer *"
		},
		{
			"type" : "CBasePlayerItem *"
		},
		{
			"type" : "bool"
		}
	],
	"identifiers" :
	[
		{
			"os"    : "windows",
			"mod"   : "cstrike",
			"value" : [0x83,"*","*",0x53,0x57,0x8B,"*","*","*",0x33,0xDB,0x3B,"*",0x0F]
		},
		{
			"os"    : "linux",
			"mod"   : "cstrike",
			"value" : "_ZL14packPlayerItemP11CBasePlayerP15CBasePlayerItemb"
		},
		{
			"os"    : "linux",
			"mod"   : "cstrike",
			"value" : "packPlayerItem__FP11CBasePlayerP15CBasePlayerItemb"
		}
	]
}

Output:

OnPackPlayerItem called id 1 wid 437 ammo 1

Can't test on linux. Btw, why are you using sign for linux? Just provide the symbol.
