Default Metamod Plugin Programming Tutorial linux - 06-10-2004

i am searching for a metamod plugins programming tutorial for linux.
i am skilled in c++ but not much i only would like to code a plugin for linux that changes the mp_timelimit to 30 or anything like this.

i hope someone is friendly and can paste me a source code for this and how to compile .
i understand a detail of the source from the examples from metamod.org ( stub/wdmisc_plugin ) but i don't know how to compile on linux.

bye snakepr0luck0r

There is not much difference between a Windows and a Linux metamod plugin, because metamod already abstracts all the OS-specific declarations. We have some very simple plugins here in the filebase, almost all of which come with source code. Just grab one and see for yourself

Note that you must have GCC 2.95 or 2.96 to compile a working plugin for Linux, because the GCC 3.x series are known not to work.

yea there is..
it was never released because it was mostly a beta..
but RedHat released it with one of their versions and got MANY complaints about the compiler being "broken" but it actually wasn't.. it was just that it was compiled with strict regulations on what it compiles...

i downloaded hlsdk-2.3 and unziped it
my gcc version: "gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)"
got one of the examples from the database called playerlog_mm.cpp .

i compile with:
g++ -o playerlog_mm.so playerlog_mm.cpp -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/dlls -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/common -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/cl_dll -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/dedicated -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/dmc -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/engine -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/game_shared -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/network -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/pm_shared -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/ricochet -I /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/utils

don't know how to add the path to my searchpath i only know -I

but there are some compileing errors:

meta_api.h:40: dllapi.h: No such file or directory
meta_api.h:41: engine_api.h: No such file or directory
meta_api.h:42: plinfo.h: No such file or directory
meta_api.h:43: mutil.h: No such file or directory
meta_api.h:44: osdep.h: No such file or directory

can't find in hlsdk these files where can i download them?

thx snake

In file included from /root/pl/hlsdk-2.3/multiplayer/dlls/meta_api.h:41,
from playerlog_mm.cpp:13:
/root/pl/metamod-1.17.2/metamod/engine_api.h:261: syntax error before `*'
/root/pl/metamod-1.17.2/metamod/engine_api.h:262: syntax error before `*'
/root/pl/metamod-1.17.2/metamod/engine_api.h:437: syntax error before `*'
/root/pl/metamod-1.17.2/metamod/engine_api.h:438: syntax error before `*'


strange!? i edite the file and make // before the line
then this error appears:

/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x1: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


don't know what these errors are?!
i only want to compile an example from the filebase?!

There is a macro to execute arbitrary server commands.

SERVER_COMMAND ("your_command_here\n");

it calls pfnServerCommand()

You can get a client's name by looking it up in the engine's string table using the STRING() macro.

STRING (pClientEdict->v.netname)

pClientEdict being an edict_t pointer.

I don't understand what you want exactly. WHEN do you want your mp_timelimit command to be executed ?
