Sure it is possible, but probably not a smart thing to do. Com is not the best protocol for internet or firewalls and does not run on linux.
Almost all the data you describe is available through the rcon protocol of half-life. You could write simple scripts/code to put additional info in cvars that are read through rcon. Another way is simply code a UDP socket server plugin. Amx - www.amxmod.net has a udp protocol module that could be used to write a simple light weight udp based protocol to query additional info. Or just write the socket server in C++. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Predatory Kangaroo Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 1:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlcoders] COM in HL Does anyone here know if it would be possible to expose some COM interfaces within a MOD, like, to let other programs find out what server ur playing on, map, team, stuff like that. Because i'm thinking of different ways to make a bot in MSN to respond to certain phrases with certain bits of info. Of course, it'd have to be designed so that it can't be exploited, like people alt+tabbing to find out an enemies health, ammo, weapon, etc. But for now i'm just wondering whether it would be possible Greetz, Predatory Kangaroo _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
