Well looks like I am still here writing tutorials =-). This is just a
simple way to switch to different gameplay modes. Open up gamerules.cpp and
down at the very bottom there is a function called InstallGameRules. Change
the whole function to
CGameRules *InstallGameRules( void )
{
SERVER_COMMAND( "exec game.cfg\n" );
SERVER_EXECUTE( );
if ( !gpGlobals->deathmatch )
{
// generic half-life
return new CHalfLifeRules;
}
else
{
const char *szMapName = (STRING(gpGlobals->mapname));
if(strncmp(szMapName, "tm_", 3) == 0)
{
// Teamplay rules
return new CHalfLifeTeamplay;
}
else
{
// vanilla deathmatch
return new CHalfLifeMultiplay;
}
}
}
If it is not a multiplayer game then it defaults to the generic Half-Life
rules, single player. If it is multiplayer it then checks the first 3
letters of the map name. BEGINNERS NOTE: the usage for strncmp is
strncmp(const char* str1, const char* str2, int n) the first two character
pointers (strings or characters) are what you are comparing, the number is
how many letters of each word you are comparing, since all you are doing is
calling a standard function it has a return value, if it returns 0 then
both the compared letters of the strings are the same. This checks for the
map name beginning with tm_, replace tm_ with what ever you want i.e. tc_.
If it begins with tm_ the it allocates the memory for the CHalfLifeTeamplay
class, and you will have the game mode of teamplay :). Replace
CHalfLifeTeamplay with the class name for the gameplay mode you are
implementing in your mod. This was made by request of [gwt]Karl[stc] from
the Gansta Wars mod.
