Alfred, is it possible the plugin interface could be extended to do this?
The tasking system for most Metamod-plugins I wrote for HL1 used the timer in gpGlobals to work. It was a nice, OS independent way of measuring in sub-second intervals matched with the framerate.
Are there any other ways to do this?
Thanks,

You don't have any code there to make gpGlobals point anywhere useful....
The game dll initializes it in CServerGameDLL::DLLInit() but plugins don't have that call so you can't get access to it.
Use IServerGameClients::GetPlayerLimits() to get the min and max players for the mod, or record the maxplayers in use for the current map from CEmptyServerPlugin::ServerActivate().

OK how Do I use it? I tried static CGlobalVarsBase dummyvars( true ); // So stuff that might reference gpGlobals during DLL initialization won't have a NULL pointer. // Once the engine calls Init on this DLL, this pointer gets assigned to the shared data in the engine CGlobalVarsBase *gpGlobals = &dummyvars;
Then did gpGlobals->maxclients, but I'm getting a 0 in return. Does it need to be defined elsewhere? I'm lost :( I'm trying to use this in a plugin.
Thanks, Josh (Pimp Daddy)
