Hi,

i have a problem and hope that someone can help me.
I want to load a file like that:

"ips.txt"
{
  "127.0.0.1"
  {
    "id"  "1"
    "pw"  "123"
  }
  ...
}

Now i want to load the file in the plugin::load void.

GET_V_IFACE_ANY(engineFactory, m_FileSystem, IFileSystem, FILESYSTEM_INTERFACE_VERSION);
...
KeyValues *kv = new KeyValues("ips.txt");
...
if(!kv || !kv->LoadFromFile(m_FileSystem, "ips.txt")) {
  META_CONPRINT("Can't load ips.txt!\n");
  return false;
}

But the server crashs on kv->LoadFromFile...
Any idea?

if ( !m_FileSystem )
{
  META_CONPRINT( "FileSystem interface not loaded correctly.\n" );
  return false;
}
if ( m_FileSystem->FileExists( "ips.txt" ) )
{
  KeyValues *kv = new KeyValues( "ips.txt" );
  ... // Whats this?
  if( !kv || !kv->LoadFromFile(m_FileSystem, "ips.txt" ) ) 
  {
    META_CONPRINT( "Can't load ips.txt!\n" );
    return false;
  }
}
else
{
    META_CONPRINT( "Can't locate file \"ips.txt\"!\n" );
}

You sure it's crashing on that line? Do you run it in MSVC debug mode?

[CoolPeter]

Yes i'm sure...
If i delete " || !kv->LoadFromFile(m_FileSystem, "ips.txt" )" it doesn't crash.
And m_FileSystem is ok otherwise it display "Could not find interface: ..." and return false.

If i use your code it still crash
But it crashs here "m_FileSystem->FileExists( "ips.txt" )"...
So there is something wrong with m_FileSystem...

What's wrong with this:

GET_V_IFACE_ANY(engineFactory, m_FileSystem, IFileSystem, FILESYSTEM_INTERFACE_VERSION);

?

Edit:

Ok i got it... It works with this:

GET_V_IFACE_CURRENT(engineFactory, m_FileSystem, IFileSystem, FILESYSTEM_INTERFACE_VERSION);

Are you sure you're supposed to use the engineFactory and not the filesystemFactory? But if it works with that, might as well not break it again.

[CoolPeter]

I don't know
This is in the sample vsp:

filesystem = (IFileSystem*)interfaceFactory(FILESYSTEM_INT ERFACE_VERSION, NULL)

I don't even load IFileSystem for the use of KeyValues.. I just copy the whole file into a buffer with stdio, then use kv->LoadFromBuffer(). If you can't get IFileSystem stuff working right, try this.

[c0ldfyr3]

The IFileSystem interface works correctly if instantiated correctly, its an interface provided for our use (sometimes they claim otherwise go figure), so it's easier for novices to practice how its preached in the SDK IMO =)

Hahahahaja...provided for our use...that's a good one <wipes a tear from his eye>

Like everything else, that's for mods. Plugins shouldn't be modifying anything. According to a setinfo on #sourcemod, Mani was told by someone at Valve that he shouldn't be using IFileSystem.

then why the ........ do valve include it in the sdk, its like givving somone a pen and telling them not to use it.

It basically reimplements everything in libc anyway so what's the point? At least libc is well documented and supported, no reason not to use it.
