Listen server supported?

You shouldn't be using a #define to set MaxClients to 18.
As a good practice, use MAXPLAYERS+1 instead. (it will create an array with 64 size)
L4D2 can have up to 32 clients, a lot of modded servers has 20+ players slots.

How can i learn a plugin supports listen server or not?

[Marttt]

Usually, plugins work on listen/local servers unless the author made some "hard-code" to block it. (IsDedicatedServer(), as I already have found in some plugins around the forum).

What won't work, is being the host and typing plugin commands in the console that uses the client as a parameter to do something, since in listen servers, it will read as being client index = "0" (server). [Anyway there is a workaround for that I do in my plugins]
The same happens when you try typing plugin commands through console rcon in a dedicated server, for example.

Also, SM doesn't support listen servers (but I never had any problem with that in 2 years+).

For the listen server, client index over 18 will have the exception "Client index 19 is invalid", so I define it to 18.
Of course, for the server who have 20+ players, they can change it back to 20+ because the dedicated server has no this problem.

That's not how you fix that error. The variable MaxClients is dynamic and can change depending on how many players a server can handle. MAXPLAYERS + 1 handles up to 64 players + world/server index which is what you use for global variables.

To fix the "Client X is invalid" error you usually include this check:

PHP Code:

if (0 < client <= MaxClients) 


It will make sure that only clients between index 1 to MaxClients will be affected.

You also need to loop through clients consistently. Even on listen servers, this is still the ideal loop:

PHP Code:

for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) 


In your current code, I see loops like this:

PHP Code:

for (int i = 0; i < MaxClients + 1; i++) 


There are only certain cases where you would need to directly affect index 0 for listen servers, but most of the time, index 1 still works.

Thank you for your suggestion, I will apply it to next version.

Dedicated or Listen server to test plugins?

As plugins obviously depend on SourceMod, and as SourceMod literally doesn't support Listen Servers, I would say that no plugins can technically "support Listen Servers" either, since they depend on something that doesn't.


And with your vague response, you're potentially giving people the impression that SourceMod also supports such things, which it doesn't.

I would therefore suggest ...

... you to carefully choose your phrasings/wordings, and make it 100% crystal clear if such things are being asked, such as something like:

SourceMod does not support Listen Servers, but if you manage to get that up running, I believe the plugin itself should work just fine.

I have an idea. Do you know how to force to create buying area only in safe room?
