If this is a repost, sorry... my PINE is acting weird this week.
Now, I know that Alfred told me not to remove CStrike entities. However, I basically
have no choice... I created a mod called "CSDM" which allows for instant respawning
and it became very popular, and now I have _hoardes_ of people telling me to fix it
for Steam... the weapons built up on the ground and up until now I've been removing
weaponboxes+contents with no problem.
I have gone through a number of crafty but failed solutions, because, in the end, I
have no clue what I'm doing. I have tried making my OWN hashing system of entities I
remove, and blocking engine calls whose Entity/offset pointers are illegal... to no
success. I have for hours watching trace outputs of how the engine reacts to entity
removal. I even tried rerouting all calls to a single valid entity which was legal
for CS to modify.
If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to know (Alfred, I think you're the only one
who can really answer this), _is there a way to RemoveEntity (weaponbox specifically)
and block CS calls from crashing? And if so, what calls would need to blocked? Would
it be possible to, in a future CS update, put in a checking step in the CS engine
which validates that an entity can be operated on before it blindly tries to act on it
and crash? Or am I utterly doomed?
Thanks for any response,
