[hlcoders] Weapon Names in DoD 1.0 from withing a MetaMod Plugin ( StatsMe to be exact )

[Punisher]

Hi,

Like you all know ( or not ) , StatsMe gathers in-game realtime Statistics
from players.
So it has per-weapon stats. The problem now in DoD 1.0 is that i cant figure
out the weapon names.
In prior versions, or in other HL Mods ( CS / TFC ) the weapon name is send
with the WeaponList Engine msg to MetaMod.

In DoD 1.0 it only sends the weapon id, and some more more-or-less useless
infos.

Is there any engine function to get the Weapon name from the ID ? or any
other way _without_ hardcoding the weapon names ?

Why don't you want to hard code the weapon names? I know its not
elegant, but I reckon it would be safer than any hack to pull the name
from the engine.

I will do if there is no other solution

Is there any dod header file with all weapon names then ? that would be
helpful

if not it will take some more time to get all weapon names
