[Kris Kristensen]

Hello,

CSGO question

I am a complete newbie in this language, however a fairly competent developer in c++/java. I have a question regarding unique game id. I do not mean STEAMID, but a completely unique identifier for a particular match, regardless of it being a competitive, training or whatever.

Is there a function in sourcemod i can call to get such an identifier, or do I need to create one myself, which is perfectly fine in my case - I just need a hint how to do that, if that's the case.

Best
Kris

don't think there is a "unique identifier for a particular match"
so create one yourself

Thanks' for your reply,

would you be kind enough to write some snippets as to how I should go about with that in a plugin, just to get me started...?

Thanks

sorry i do not know what exactly you are looking for and how you intend on using this "unique identifier for a particular match" therefore i can't give you any snippets to get you started

Hi again,

No, I agree - this needs to be clarified. Sorry for my rude attempt to make you write code, without explaining the gameplay.

Basically what I need is a way to identify a match, assuming that my server is running concurrent games. I understand that a unique identifier is not an option. That's fine, now, I imagine the following flow:

User logs into my server (community server). The user is requested to enter a pincode before actually allowed in on the server. If the user's pin is correct the game will go into warmup mode, until at least one other opponent (not BOT) enters the game. The new enterer will also have to enter his code, and if validated correctly, he will be let into the server, and a new warmup of 1 minute commences. After that - normal gameplay.

I know a couple of the building blocks here, but the one with the input field for pincode, is that even possible? It won't work pressing Y or ~ for chat/console for input, as the code must be entered as part of the "PutInServer" logic somehow. If the user enter the wrong code, he'll be kicked from the server

its probably doable but i don't think a snippet will help you
there are different ways to achieve what you want (i'm guessing private servers)
you can use sv_password and just give it to players you want
you can use sever whitelist https://www.sourcemod.net/plugins.ph...tion=&search=1

[Bacardi]

*edit
I'm actually lost, what op is asking, tough

yeah... using whitelist by steamID's or set random sv_password to server are easier.
Or you let player connect to inside server, then you give him time to accomplish PIN code, or something.


- There is one trick, what SoureMod admin system use, for password access.
Player command: setinfo <key> <value>

Example:
- Before player connect to "match server", he need set PIN code first, in his console.

setinfo special_password bv070

- Now when player make connect to server, you can check player info in early state

PHP Code:

public bool OnClientConnect(int client, char[] rejectmsg, int maxlen)
{
    char PIN[10];
    GetClientInfo(client, "special_password", PIN, sizeof(PIN));
    PrintToServer("PIN %s", PIN);

    return true; // when you want player get in server, return as true!
} 


To block player connecting to server, return bool OnClientConnect as false.
You can also re-format rejectmsg disconnect message.

Here... random plugin example.

- This plugin create keyvalue file in ...addons/sourcemod/data/matchpincodes.txt, if file missing.
- File have four random "matchID" entry, in each entry it have ten random "PIN" codes.
- Once plugin is loaded, it pick random matchID entry, and check those PIN codes only.
You can re-check PIN codes with command sm_test, from server console.

- Plugin check player key info "special_password"

PHP Code:


KeyValues kv;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    char path[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    BuildPath(Path_SM, path, sizeof(path), "data/MatchPINCodes.txt");

    kv = new KeyValues("MyData");

    if(!kv.ImportFromFile(path))
    {
        char matchID[10];
        char PIN[10];

        bool NumberOrLetter;
        int value;

        // Create four random match ID sections with ten random PIN codes.
        for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++)

            }



            kv.JumpToKey(matchID, true);

            for(int y = 0; y < 10; y++)
            {
                PIN_len = GetRandomInt(4,6);
                PIN[0] = '\0';

                for(int b = 0; b < PIN_len; b++)
                {

                    do
                    {

                    Format(PIN, sizeof(PIN), "%s%c", PIN, value);
                }

                kv.SetNum(PIN, 1);
            }
            kv.Rewind();
        }
        
        kv.ExportToFile(path);
    }

    int random = GetRandomInt(1, 4);

    char section[10];
    kv.GotoFirstSubKey(false);

    for(int c = 1; c < random; c++)
    {
        kv.GotoNextKey(false);
    }
    
    kv.GetSectionName(section, sizeof(section));

    PrintToServer("Kv random position matchID %s", section);


    RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", test);
}


public Action test(int cclient, int args)
{
    char buffer[256];
    kv.ExportToString(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
    PrintToServer("%s", buffer);

    return Plugin_Handled;
}

public bool OnClientConnect(int client, char[] rejectmsg, int maxlen)
{
    char PIN[10];
    GetClientInfo(client, "special_password", PIN, sizeof(PIN));
    //PrintToServer("PIN %s", PIN);

    bool IsRightPIN = view_as<bool>(kv.GetNum(PIN, 0));
    
    if(!IsRightPIN)
    {

        Format(rejectmsg, maxlen, "MATCH ID: %s\nWrong PIN code: %s\nSet given PIN code in console, before connect to server.\nsetinfo special_password ****\n\n", matchID, PIN);
        return false;
    }
    
    return true;
}

What am I missing that he can't simply used sv_password?

Hello and thanks a lot for your example here.

Let me first clarify why sv_password won't do. Well we are already using sv_password but running multiple game instances on the same server is a bit hard to administer, and what I would like to do is simply send a pincode to the player, have him enter that, and if validated - let in to the server. Therefore my initial idea was to show an input field or a dialog in the client for the player to enter this pincode in.
Hope this clarifies it a bit

Create bash script to automate copy server_pin.cfg with "sv_password new_pin" to folders of each game cfg directory. Don't forget about correct ACL.
In each server.cfg write "exec server_pin.cfg"

Or create program in C++/java (if you already know them) to connect to rcon of each game server to pass "sm_pin new_pin" command. Create plugin that accept "sm_pin" command (and redirect pin to sv_password ConVar) and put him to each game. Don't forget to change server.cfg sv_password as well in this case since it is executed each new map, like you can do same as above - overwrite server_pin.cfg using plugin.
