This might sound like a stupid question, but how do i 'ask' Sourcemod whether the server is a windows or linux one. Googling, the wiki and the API had no answer.

How about a answering with another question. Why do you need to know?

SourceMod scripts are supposed to be operating system independant and because of that theres no approved way of detecting the OS. It is possible if you really need it, but it's discouraged.

[AtomicStryker]

Using Virtual Offsets in a Plugin (very much OS dependant) but without the need for a gamedata file.

[HiJacker]

Well, OS can be detected by status, like webstatus, HLSW and so on, so server may status itself, and return value. This is just may idea.

[AtomicStryker]

And how exactly would i run a console command with no client and hook the output?

There has to be a better way

[HiJacker]

What about gameinfo.txt ? There must be something about it.

[BAILOPAN]

use a gamedata file. they are the solution to the problem you are trying to solve.

Why is there such a limitation????

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 


This is a very crude solution using some Data Adresses Fyren figured out somehow. Why can't we have a GetOS() Call for Virtual Functions? Or automate the fact Linux Offsets are 1 greater into Sourcemod????

Because this is one of the exact purposes of gamedata files and is the correct way to do it (not to mention, it's the way other plugins do it).

Why don't you wanna use a gamedata file?
