Alfred-- thanks a lot for looking into this for me. As I mentioned before, this
is very important for my plugin's community. All my server administrators are
going through various pains while this is unavailable since it makes certain
functionality virtually impossible.
Being able to insert commands into the buffer earlier will let plugin developers
develop their own alias types, macros, variable expansion, config file handlers,
etc. It's really very handy and something that would have a high return on
investment since adding a wrapper around this would be very easy
development-wise.
Thanks very much for your help. If you need any write-up from me to help clarify
to your team how beneficial this would be for the community, I'll be happy to
provide it.
Thanks again,
-Mattie

I can suggest it to the team but as its such a base interface we hadn't
planned on altering it any time soon.

Thanks, Alfred, for responding.
No-- I'm looking for something different.
IVEngineServer::ServerCommand() places the command at the _end_ of of
the command buffer. I need the same function that the 'exec' command
would use to place a command at the _beginning_ of the command buffer.
Without an InsertAtFront or something similar, in-line variable
expansion is not possible (without lots of command ordering issues).
Thanks a lot for considering my request-- it's quite important to the
community using the EventScripts plugin, and will likely come in handy
for mods down the road.
Thanks again,
-Mattie

Are you looking for IVEngineServer::ServerCommand() which will run a
command on the server?

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Valve reps,
Is there any way you can extend the IVEngineServer interface to
provide
ServerInsertCommand() (or some other relevant name)? It would work a
lot like the old Quake engine's command buffer function
(Cbuf_InsertText) that allows a console command to be inserted at the
front of the buffer.
I assume a similar function exists in the HL2 engine, because, as far
as I know, "exec" would need something like that to work correctly.
If you could expose this function, it would allow my server plugin to
cleanly support in-line variable expansion for my concommands.
Thanks so much for your help,
-Mattie
