First steps in Sp

[mister-man]

Hay,

I want start to learn SP. But the first problem is to send an message o an player.

Syntax: Select all

from Source import Player
from Source import Engine
from messages import chat
from events import Event

@Event
def player_spawn(GameEvent):
#   Chat Messages
    userid = GameEvent.GetInt('userid')
    player = Player.EdictOfUserid(userid)
    index = Engine.IndexOfEdict(player)
    chat(index, 'Test')

If a player joins, the whole server crashes with with the error "MESSAGE_END called with no active message".

A secound Question is, whats up with the wiki? Is there a way to restore it?

The message system has gotten a major overhaul, not only on the Python side, but on the C++ side as well (due to the protobuf system). So, if this is for CS:GO, you will need to compile the newest version yourself in order to send messages, then use the most up-to-date Python API.

Info on the message module updates:

Also, info on the translation module:

We are currently working on a complete overhaul of the plugin (C++ side) which will make things much more maintainable in the future, so we will not be releasing a build until that is further along in development:

If you are running a Windows server, you can build by using this tutorial:

Unfortunately, we are having build issues on Linux with the default branch, so we cannot release a build for that branch at this time. And, since we are working on the overhaul, it would not serve us well to work on those issues when our time would be better spent finishing the overhaul and getting that build ready for release.

As for the Wiki, unfortunately we were not able to recover anything from it. I have a thread asking if anyone wants to become a Wiki Contributor to get it back up and running, but have not received any replies on that as of yet:

The development team, at this time, does not have any time to be working on the Wiki, so until we get some volunteers, it will remain empty.

*Edit: I went ahead and removed the download, as it will cause crashing when using the messaging system (since it no longer exists in CS:GO).

Sorry for the question about the wiki.

Of course I can help to write the wiki but my knowledge about SP is currently bad. So I will learn it and later I can help...

I tryed to test it, but there is no saytext2 in lib's and the sp download link is broken... (http://code.google.com/p/source-python/downloads/list) ---> No download


It seems I must wait for the next release...

[satoon101]

I removed the download because that version causes crashing when using the messaging system, as you have seen in your testing. Due to Valve updating to use the new protobuf system in CS:GO, the old UserMessage system got removed completely for that version of the engine. Again, as I posted earlier, if you are running a Windows server, you will need to compile yourself. If you are running Linux, it will not compile, and you will just have to wait until the overhaul has gotten far enough along that we can release a build.

Hay all,

after the last release, I tried a second start in SP.

I tried to send a message at spawn to every alive player in CT and T Team. But every time I tried to start my script, there are import bugs from source.

That's because of the rewrite. Some stuff doesn't exist anymore and "Source" has been replaced.

[mister-man]

Okay,

are there some examples of basic functions like messaging or weapon or player?
Everything I found doesn't work...

Not everything "works" right now. This is an alpha still, so don't expect everything to work 100%.

[mister-man]

It seems the wiki is empty....

[satoon101]

Yeah, sorry about that. I am reworking it a little bit. I will hopefully have it back up by the end of the day. Sorry for the inconvenience.
