LOL I'm a noob and was missing a closing bracket. This thing is hilarious though. Spawn people super high in the air or on buildings for some fun.

Let's say it doesn't. Why wouldn't it?

Never ask a Master in the Art of Self Quotation to answer a question he already answered ... SHAZAM!

[AtomicStryker]

New version 1.3 added. Only change: A gamedata file is no longer needed.

AtomicStryker: I am also having troubles getting this plugin to work. I have tried both 1.2 and 1.3. Oddly, sm plugins list gives "L4D SM Respawn" (1.2) by AtomicStryker rather than 1.3.

I am running SourceMod version 1.2.1 on a Linux server. I'm not sure about whether SDK calls work - I can successfully use the L4D "Switch players" plugin (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=83950) which I think uses SDK call(s).

The only console message I see when respawning is:
L 08/03/2009 - 21:08:04: [l4d_sm_respawn.smx] "BertieB<262><STEAM_1:1:0000000><>" teleported "Louis<271><BOT><>" after respawning him

This doesn't respawn the bot however. Calling it on an alive survivor teleports them to the cursor though.

Any thoughts?

[AtomicStryker]

If BOTH 1.2 and 1.3 (version display wasnt updated, my bad) failed for you, SDK calling altogether doesnt seem to work for you. Switchplayers just uses Fake Execute.

Right. So is using a dev snapshot of SM my only way of getting this to work, rather than 1.2.1? Or is there an option I can enable? I'm just a little wary of using a developmental snapshot on an otherwise-stable server.

FWIW I'm using MM v1.7.1. If you need any other output let me know and I will post it.

PHP Code:

    //*********************************************************************************************************************************************
    new OS;
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player);
    if (!PrepSDKCall_SetSignature(SDKLibrary_Server, "\xA1****\x83***\x57\x8B\xF9\x0F*****\x8B***\x56\x51\xE8****\x8B\xF0\x83\xC4\x04", 34)) 
    {
        OS = 2; // LINUX
        PrepSDKCall_SetSignature(SDKLibrary_Server, "@_ZN13CTerrorPlayer10AddUpgradeE19SurvivorUpgradeType", 0);
    }
    else
    {
        OS = 1; // WINDOWS
    }
    PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_PlainOldData, SDKPass_ByValue);
    new Handle:AddUpgrade = EndPrepSDKCall();
    CloseHandle(AddUpgrade); // Its just a dummy function to determine server OS
    //**********************************************************************************************************************************************
    
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player);
    if (OS==1) PrepSDKCall_SetVirtual(488);
    if (OS==2) PrepSDKCall_SetVirtual(489);
    hRoundRespawn = EndPrepSDKCall(); 


How ridiculous that is just to avoid the use of a gamedata file. Not only is extra work done, but now the plugin will even break if a function it does not even directly need gets moved (the add upgrade sig) in addition to if the offset it actually does use changes.

[AtomicStryker]

I'm quite pissed about that myself (see the Scripting Thread) but the Sourcemod Devs apparently love gamedata files.

Same arguments here:
If the Offset is moved, an update is needed anyway.
One file is a lot harder for people to install incorrectly. You wouldn't believe the amount of PMs of people who didnt manage.
