Heyo,
I'm trying to get into C++ (having a wee bit of experience with C#)
and get a decent understanding of the SDK files.
To kill two birds with one stone, I have attempted to create a
server-side plugin based off the "serverplugin_empty" example found in
the SDK. The idea is simple, I just want to hack in some extra
functionality for recording demos (easily distinguishable names,
storing them elsewhere, etc).
I'd like to use some of the features that are part of IClient, and
thus I've had a go at it:
INetChannel *pNetChan = static_cast<INetChannel
*>(engine->GetPlayerNetInfo(engineClient->GetLocalPlayer()));
if(pNetChan)
{
IClient *pClient = static_cast<IClient
*>(pNetChan->GetMsgHandler());
Msg(pClient->GetNetworkIDString());
Msg(pClient->GetClientName());
pClient->Reconnect();
}
This only works when I'm connected to my own listen server though.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction?
(I've also posted this on the official Steam forums, but there is
little support for client-side plugins. Most forums related to
developing VSP seem to be long gone, as well)
