Client side scripting

Post by **Bjarne BZR** » Thu Jul 24, 2003 5:30 pm

I'm thinking about doing a version system for my maps, so that if you have an incorrect version of the BSP ( but with the same name ) as the server, the game will tell you so.

To do this I compiled in an entity with targetname / version and a variable named #version with the version number.

So now:

1) Can I access the version object on the SERVER in the CLIENT script?
2) Can I print a message to only the CLIENT ( the one with the wrong BSP )?

Or am I not grasping this alltogether?

There is no such thing as a client script

Oh woe is me!

So there is no way in a warm place to detect map version differences then... dang...

Wait a minute... the script is executed on both client and server... right?

i think it would just kick you off and say "your version differs from the servers" or something like that.

No the script only runs on the server. The client doesn't even need a .scr file to join.

If the map version (filesize) of client and server differs I think you'll get a checksum error.

Crap!

Well, its good to know...

But there is no error when entering a map vith the wrong version, I know because Generar Death entered the obj/vemork_factory_small with the wrong version at first when he was going to review it. It looked really funny because the entity id's were wrong: As a result the main entrance doors were replaced with barrels ( Spinning barrels!

).
