Hi,

I need to catch a very early moment when server replicate ConVars to client when he joins the server.

So, I should be able to setup different skyboxes for different clients.

Some code:

This one is work OK. I'm overriding client's ConVar OnGameFrame(), so I ensured it is work.

Spoiler

PHP Code:

ConVar g_hCvarSkyName;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    g_hCvarSkyName = FindConVar("sv_skyname");
}

public void OnMapStart()
{
    g_hCvarSkyName.SetString("sky_day01_09_hdr"); // let's say it is a custom skybox
}

public void OnGameFrame() // override per-client (for all moments of time), just for test reason
{
    ApplyClientSkyAll();
}

void ApplyClientSkyAll()
{
    for( int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if( IsClientConnected(i) && !IsFakeClient(i) )
        {
            ApplyClientSky(i);
        }
    }
}

void ApplyClientSky(int client)
{
    if( client && !IsFakeClient(client) )
    {
        SendConVarValue(client, g_hCvarSkyName, "test_moon_hdr");
    }
} 


Now, I need to do the same without OnGameFrame().

Some attempts:

PHP Code:

ConVar g_hCvarSkyName;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    g_hCvarSkyName = FindConVar("sv_skyname");
}

public void OnMapStart()
{
    g_hCvarSkyName.SetString("sky_day01_09_hdr"); // let's say it is a custom skybox
}

public void OnClientConnected(int client)
{
    ApplyClientSky(client);
}

bool OnClientConnect(int client, char[] rejectmsg, int maxlen)
{
    ApplyClientSky(client);
    return true;
}

public void OnClientSettingsChanged(int client)
{
    ApplyClientSky(client);
}

public void OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    ApplyClientSky(client);
}

void ApplyClientSky(int client)
{
    if( client && !IsFakeClient(client) )
    {
        SendConVarValue(client, g_hCvarSkyName, "test_moon_hdr");
    }
} 


They are not work. Client's ConVar is changed but it was too late and I see custom skybox "sky_day01_09_hdr", defined by OnMapStart.

Thanks for help.

According to my tests, OnClientConnect() is too late.

ConVar replication happens some frames earlier.

I need to try my luck with [L4D2] ConnectHook extension.
