can someone post working examples of how to loop through all the indexes of all the players and send them a HUD message please?

i have been trying all morning

and i cant use IServerPluginHelpers anymore.

UserMessageBeing takes a parameter IRecipientFilter, in this, for single hud messages, im sure you have .AddPlayer(), im sure if you look through its methods there is one called AddAllPlayers too !

thanks, i now have:

void SamplePlugin::PrintToAll( char * text, bool big )
{

	CRecipientFilter *rpf = new CRecipientFilter();

	rpf->AddAllPlayers();

	bf_write *pWrite = m_Engine->UserMessageBegin( (IRecipientFilter*) rpf, 5 );
	pWrite->WriteByte( 4 ); // Centered TextMsg
    pWrite->WriteString(text); // Message
    m_Engine->MessageEnd();

	delete rpf;
}

i got four linker errors. i have managed to narrow this down to 2.

sample_mm error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CRecipientFilter::CRecipientFilter(void)" (??0CRecipientFilter@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall SamplePlugin:rintToAll(char *,bool)" (?PrintToAll@SamplePlugin@@QAEXPAD_N@Z) *and* sample_mm error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall CRecipientFilter::AddAllPlayers(void)" (?AddAllPlayers@CRecipientFilter@@QAEXXZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall SamplePlugin:rintToAll(char *,bool)" (?PrintToAll@SamplePlugin@@QAEXPAD_N@Z)

i tried just adding Recipientfilter.cpp into the project but i get 200 compile errors. any idea what todo?

CRecipientFilter has a bunch of virtual stuff.. it has to be implemented. I've attached the class I use, which is MRecipientFilter. Use it instead.

You can use IServerPluginHelpers if you make a dummy wrapper for the IServerPluginCallbacks class.

thanks devicenull, but how do i obtain an instance of IPlayerInfoManager and IServerPluginHelpers ?

im not sure how to use game server factory ( visual studio wont even tell me where its defined )

No sure if you are STILL looking for an answer for this......

But on the Load event for you plugin it has the following parameters

::Load(	CreateInterfaceFn interfaceFactory, CreateInterfaceFn gameServerFactory )

You get all your interfaces from that.....

so for instance if you want IPlayerInfoManager you'd have

pim = (IPlayerInfoManager *)gameServerFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_PLAYERINFOMANAGER,NULL);

Slight correction for V1.1. It about the same except you'd get the Load event from ISmmPlugin Interface as such

virtual bool Load(PluginId id, ISmmAPI *ismm, char *error, size_t maxlength, bool late) =0;

Thus your code to get the interfaces you need is like this.

	m_ServerDll = (IServerGameDLL *)((ismm->serverFactory())(INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEDLL, NULL));
	m_Engine = (IVEngineServer *)((ismm->engineFactory())(INTERFACEVERSION_VENGINESERVER, NULL));

etc. etc.
