"(hence the network ID callback for plugins)." I'm assuming your talking about the NetworkIDValidated function?
If so, could this function be changed to pass an edict or player index, instead of their name? The name is useless, because most of the time, NetworkIDValidated is called before they get in the game, and the playerinfomanager does not have any data for the player until they are in the game, making searching for a name useless. Just my observation. - voogru. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 3:31 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Plugin API: NetworkIDString returns "UNKNOWN" No (in general, typically it will work). Retrieval of the network ID is an asynchronous operation, it can complete at any time (hence the network ID callback for plugins). Your problem however appears to be due to you running a listen server with maxplayers set to 1 (making it a single player game), in that case the network ID is never set to a valid value. - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roy Laurie Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 12:06 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] Plugin API: NetworkIDString returns "UNKNOWN" > Any time I call PlayerInfoManager::GetNetworkIDString() or > IVEngineInterface::GetPlayerNetwordIDString(edict_t*) from > ClientActivate(), I get a string with "UNKOWN".
