I'm not using SourceMod I'm trying to write my own plugin for CSS. To use the CBaseEntity class I would have to include baseentity.h. Earlier you recommended against this. Is there a best practice to modify a players score via a CSS plugin without using SourceMod?

I assume sm_sendprop_info_t is from SourceMod.

I told you the exact location of the function required for you to use that in your own project...

You don't need the full definition of CBaseEntity if you aren't trying to access members or methods, just

class CBaseEntity;

will suffice.

Ok so I’m trying to follow your directions the best I can. I copied a couple functions from SourceMod to my plugin. I have “class ServerClass;” at the top of my file, but I’m getting the following error “error C2027: use of undefined type 'ServerClass'”. How should I correctly reference ServerClass?

public/server_class.h

I'd like to say thanks for all the help. I'm sure my C++ questions are trivial. I have another one

I have the following in my plugin:

IServerGameDLL *gamedll = NULL;

And the next line, from my plugin Load function , doesn't seem to work:

if(!(gamedll = (IServerGameDLL*)interfaceFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL, NULL)))
...

Am I initializing gamedll wrong?

[Keeper]

The INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL is probably no longer valid. There are several routines you can use to discover which version is valid. I'll look and post a link...

In the SDK it's defined as "ServerGameDLL005".

But with updates, the current interface version is "ServerGameDLL006".

Here's what I used to use ... I'm sure it could be different, but it's derived from the SourceMM files (I take ZERO credit for the following).

used like this:

if(!(gamedll = (IServerGameDLL*)GetAnyInterface ( gameServerFactory, INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL)))

int CPlugin::FormatIface(char iface[], unsigned int maxlength) {
    int length = (int)strlen(iface);
    int i;
    int num = 0;

    for (i=length-1; i>=0; i--) {
        if (!isdigit(iface[i])) {
            if (i != length-1) {
                num = 1;
            }
            break;
        }
    }

    if ( (num && ((int)maxlength <= length)) || (!num && ((int)maxlength <= length+3)) ) 
        return -1;

    if (i != length-1)
        num = atoi(&(iface[++i]));

    num++;

    Q_snprintf(&(iface[i]), 4, "%03d", num);

    return num;
}

void *CPlugin::InterfaceSearch(CreateInterfaceFn fn, const char *iface, int max, int *ret) {
    char _if[257];    /* assume no interface goes beyond this */
    size_t len = strlen(iface);
    int num = 0;
    void *pf = NULL;

    if (max > IFACE_MAXNUM)
        max = IFACE_MAXNUM;

    if (len + 4 > sizeof(_if)) {
        if (ret) 
            *ret = IFACE_FAILED;
        return NULL;
    }

    strcpy(_if, iface);

    do {
        if ( (pf = (fn)(_if, ret)) != NULL ) 
            break;

        if (num > max)
            break;
    } while (( num = FormatIface(_if, len+1) ));

    return pf;
}

void *CPlugin::GetAnyInterface(CreateInterfaceFn fn, const char *iface, int min) {
    char buffer[257];
    int len = static_cast<int>(strlen(iface));
    int ret;

    if (len > static_cast<int>(sizeof(buffer) - 4)) 
        return NULL;

    strcpy(buffer, iface);

    if (min != -1) {
        char *ptr = &buffer[len-1];
        int digits = 0;

        while (isdigit(*ptr) && digits <=3) {
            *ptr = '\0';
            digits++;
            ptr--;
        }

        if (digits != 3) {
            /* for now, assume this is an error */
            strcpy(buffer, iface);
        } else {
            char num[4];
            min = (min == 0) ? 1 : min;
            Q_snprintf(num, sizeof(num), "%03d", min);
            strcat(buffer, num);
        }
    }
    return InterfaceSearch(fn, buffer, IFACE_MAXNUM, &ret);
}

It seems like with the following code:

CBaseEntity *pEntity = /* your player entity */
  int* m_iScore = ( int* )(((unsigned char*)pEntity) + offset);
  *m_iScore++;

All I would need to know is the CBaseEntity, which I have, and the offset. The offset for m_iScore is 1108. But it's the offset from "CPlayerResource". The CBaseEntity I get is from my "player" edict_t. So

CBaseEntity *pEntity = /* your player entity */
  int* m_iScore = ( int* )(((unsigned char*)pEntity) + 1108);
  *m_iScore++;

Does not seem to work. How do I match CPlayerResource to CBaseEntity for my player?

P.S. Thanks Keeper, "ServerGameDLL006" was a winner

[pRED*]

The SourceMod code for looking up props is recursive so it will find the offset of CPlayerResource (it's contained within the main entity class for players) and add that to the relative offset of m_iScore.

[Ajaxx]

How do I retrieve the offset of CPlayerResource from the player entity? Better yet what is it so I can add it to the m_iScore offset of 1108?

Is there any other way to change team's scores in CS:S? I also tryed to change player's scores and seems it is not working either...
