You're missing the error. I lost the email where you showed the
full function but your error is that in your functions signature
you defined the szKeyName parameter as a const char*. By that you
promised anyone calling your function that you wil *not* change
the contents of the array that szKeyName points to.
But that is exactly what you do in that function so you are
breaking your contract with other code established with your
function signature.
So since you change the szKeyName in your function you should say
so in your function signature and declare the parameter as char*.
That will show you all the other places where code relies on the
array not getting changed by your function.
Of course the brute-force method you used works too, simply lying
about what you do in the function and casting the const away.
Althuogh in C++ you would usually use a const_castchar* for that
to make it obvious that you are doing something nasty here.

I don't think it's possible though, because then anybody who goes to a lan party would have free access to the game. It was possible with HL1. You could play with multiple copies of the same game (i.e. CD key) in a LAN. The number of allowed copies was limited. I can't remember the number, I think it was pretty high, like four or five.

voogru wrote: The only problem I had was if I set the sv_maxvisibleplayers to the real effective max player count, basically it won't let players join even though there's another slot avail. Kind of defeats the purpose of the cvar altogether. Actually it doesn't since this is the precise purpose of the cvar. The cvar is there to hide server slots from normal players in the built-in game browser. So that when you reserve slots and set the cvar to maxplayers minus reserved slots only the value of the cvar will show in the browser. This results in the client not even trying to connect to that server. The idea behind it is to prevent people from getting annoyed when they try to join a server just to get kicked again immediately since there was no slot for *them* to join into. Users with reserved slot previledges can still join the server via the console, via a desktop shortcut or via any of the third-party server browsers that handle this differently. So setting the cvar prevents Joe Player from getting confused and annoyed while still allowing the advanced player/admin to join his server into a reserved slot.

Re: [hlcoders] Sending commands to HLDS
botman wrote: Many devices use a 1400 byte limit for the MTU. Any packets larger than this can be split into multiple packets. IP will preserve the sequence of these packets and reassemble them in the correct order when they reach the destination (even if the packets take different paths to the destination and the first packet arrives at the destination after subsequent packets have arrived). Correct. UDP does NOT do this. UDP will not re-sequence packets and preserve their original structure. It is up to the sending/receiving applications to deal with this problem. What does that have to do with it? Fragmentation and reassembly is done on the IP layer. The protocol layer doesn't ever see fragments as the IP layer will have them already reassembled before they are passed to UDP. The difference is that TCP has mechanisms to determine the size of the maximum datagram that can be processed by the remote host and is careful to avoid fragmentation. UDP has no such mechanism and the application has to take steps to avoid fragmentation on its own. But that is handled on the application layer.
