Hello,

(Updated)

I'm trying to add signatures for DispatchKeyValue, DispatchKeyValueFloat and DispatchKeyValueVector for hl2ctf - at present any calls to these functions throw a "not supported by mod". hl2ctf is SDK 2006 afaik.

I'm not sure where to add a custom game data file, I've tried a few variations in gamedata/custom and gamedata/custom/sdkhooks.games. What's the correct file I should add these to?

The contents are:

PHP Code:

"Games"
{
        "hl2ctf"
        {

                "Signatures"
                {

                        "DispatchKeyValue"
                        {
                                "library" "server"
                                "linux" "@_ZN11CBaseEntity8KeyValueEPKcS1_"
                        }
                        "DispatchKeyValueFloat"
                        {
                                "library" "server"
                                "linux"  "@_ZN11CBaseEntity8KeyValueEPKcf"
                        }
                        "DispatchKeyValueVector"
                        {
                                "library"       "server"
                                "linux" "@_ZN11CBaseEntity8KeyValueEPKc6Vector"
                        }

                }
        }
} 


Update: When I add these signatures to gamedata/sdktools.games/game.hl2ctf.txt I start seeing:

L 09/04/2013 - 12:199: [SM] Native "DispatchKeyValue" reported: Entity 1702127986 is not valid

Guidance please? Thanks!

I ended up using these virtual offsets instead. Seems to work on linux. Haven't tested on windows:

gamedata/sdktools.games/game.hl2ctf.txt:

"DispatchKeyValue" { "windows" "28" "linux" "29" } "DispatchKeyValueFloat" { "windows" "29" "linux" "30" } "DispatchKeyValueVector" { "windows" "30" "linux" "31" }

I still don't know where in gamedata/custom I should have put this instead of editing a core gamedata file.

Any chance these offsets could be included in a future gamedata update?

The best way to get official gamedata support added for a mod is to file a bug (login with forum email and password), linking to where it can be downloaded. It's even more helpful if you can just give direct links to the server.dll and server_i486.so files there.

I've attached updated gamedata to the old hl2ctf support bug.

Whoops! I hadn't realized that we already had partial support for it. Awesome. I'll make sure that that gets looked at today.

Create ticket. Wait a short while, see it get marked as dup. See updates on forum. Success!

Thanks for the update

I'd still like to understand how exactly to put in my own custom gamedata though. I tried a number of variants in gamedata/custom/<subfolder> and gamedata/custom/<something>.txt.

In this case with needing the Dispatch* keys for hl2ctf, where should I have put it? The docs are not clear on this.

In gamedata/sdktools.games/custom/game.hl2ctf.txt.
You're only able to use the custom folder to override keys if the game data is using the advanced way through own sub folders. Luckily sdktools and sdkhooks do just that
