**Windows only** for the time being

Perliminary crap

typedef unsigned long DWORD;
#define PVFN( classptr , offset ) ((*(DWORD*) classptr ) + offset)
#define VFN( classptr , offset ) *(DWORD*)PVFN( classptr , offset )
#include "beam_flags.h"

The global

ITempEntsSystem* te = NULL;

In your init

te = **(ITempEntsSystem***)(VFN(effects, 0x0C) + (0x22285E6E - 0x22285E00));

This assumes your IEFFECTS_INTERFACE_VERSION interface is named 'effects'. Feel free to add some null checking, though this can't really fail. I'm pretty sure this works just the same on CS:S, but my plugin's pretty rooted in hl2dm atm. A cool test:

	CNewRecipientFilter f;
	
	f.AddAllPlayers();
	
	CBaseEntity* e = pEntity->GetUnknown()->GetBaseEntity();
	
	int idx = engine->PrecacheModel("sprites/lgtning.vmt", true); // .net is gay - gg not saving ebx

	te->BeamRingPoint(f,
		0,
		e->GetAbsOrigin(),
		10,	//start radius
		2048,		//end radius
		idx, //texture
		idx,			//halo index
		0,			//start frame
		1,			//framerate
		5.0f,		//life
		255,			//width
		5,			//spread
		5,			//amplitude
		5,	//r
		45,	//g
		225,	//b
		32,		//a
		0,		//speed
		FBEAM_FADEOUT
		);

How's this work? It reads a const from effects->Sparks. The const? te, of course.

Is there a Linux version for this?

Very nice. It's like the things that were possible with the "te" exploit right?

its a means to expose ITempEntsSystem which allows for many more effects
than the efffects interface that valve provided.
(which has the tempents that were used for that exploit).

linux version isn't needed

I would assume for linux then..that they can just add the the te.cpp
and define out the
te = **(ITempEntsSystem***)(VFN(effects, 0x0C) + (0x22285E6E - 0x22285E00)); (and definition)
and assume the ITempEntsSystem *te = &g_TESystem;
is executed in te.cpp?

sorry for dumb questions..but I have no exposure to Linux at all.

Hi, I'm sorry to bump this post but I was hoping you could give a brief explanation of what's needed to achieve this in linux.

edit: nm, done it. was easier than i thought it would be

Here's my two cents worth, i think that you are being scammed just be carful mate ;-)

[BeetleFart]

Anyone know what the new values are for this since last nites update?
