When you have multiple console command attributes, only one of the commands is automatically de-registered on unload, so hot-reload fails as it tries to add an existing command (since the old one still exists).

Repro code:

[ConsoleCommand("css_killmeplease", "Kills the player")]
[ConsoleCommand("css_killme", "Kills the player")]
public void OnKillme(CCSPlayerController? player, CommandInfo command)
{
    if (player == null) return;
    if (!player.PlayerPawn.IsValid) return;

    player.PlayerPawn.Value.CommitSuicide(true, true);
}

LightBlue is Lila (Purple) for example.

Description

Whenever you drag and drop the new files onto your server from the same project, the server reloads the plugin, right? Well yes, but actually the earlier data stay in the server memory. That means when you run a command, first get gets executed once, then twice and so on as many times as you upload a new build without restart or so.

Reproduce

1. Create a simple command
2. Upload it to the server
3. Execute it (it will print once)
4. Upload the files again (estimated modification on plugin or so)
5. When you execute the command it is executed twice
6. ...

EDIT

In addition, because probably it is connected to this bug, when you upload the new files or run css_plugins reload xy, it says the following:

css_plugins reload PluginName
Could not reload plugin "PluginName")

So basically, I've encountered a weird bug, which is appeared only on one server of the several, which I was checking on. First I was thinking about that possibly some leftover from meta plugins or so, which is incompatible with CSS, so I installed freshly the server, added Metamod dev2 and css latest (v53). When I installed a test plugin to check the problem again it does the following:

• If you use the command (which is registered) in the chat, it just simply send "!test" to the chat as message.
• If you use the command in server console, the command is executed properly.

I tried to check this on multiple dev servers from multiple hosts, but so far I see this bug only on one and first server so far.

Status quo
As of v50, one cannot tell whether a command was issued in the console (my_command) vs. in chat (!my_command). As a result, a plugin developer must decide a priori whether a reply to a command should always be printed EITHER to chat OR to console.

(Well, to be safe, one could always print to both chat and console, but this isn't ideal either.)

Suggestion

Make it possible to use ReplyToCommand so that:

1. If the command was run in chat, ReplyToCommand automatically responds to chat.
2. If the command was run in console, ReplyToCommand automatically responds to console.
3. Ideally, there is a way to get the origin information to implement different logic depending on the origin. For example, if the origin is chat, then we want to use ChatColors to colorize the chat response. If the origin is the console, we may want to use ANSI colors or something similar to colorize the console response.

Firing events created by the NativeAPI results in Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Repro code:

var eventptr = NativeAPI.CreateEvent("player_score", true);

NativeAPI.SetEventPlayerController(eventptr, "userid", player.Handle);
NativeAPI.SetEventInt(eventptr, "kills", 20);
NativeAPI.SetEventInt(eventptr, "deaths", 10);
NativeAPI.SetEventInt(eventptr, "score", 100);

NativeAPI.FireEvent(eventptr, false);

We need to handle compatibility with CS2Fixes, at least in a basic sense, that means:

• Don't send "player_chat" event if CS2Fixes is found as they send this also.

First, thanks for a fantastic project! 💯

I noticed that the chat detour auto dispatches anything that stars with '/' and '!'. This creates a few problems for us since we have some other infrastructure that needs to know about chats that starts with '!'.

Also I found that it's not possible to implement a '!pause' command since pause is already a command (leads to seg fault).

I see a couple of solutions here that would fit nicely for us at least.

1. Always do m_pHostSay
2. Configuration to turn off chat commands

What do you think?

Hey, we experience strange behavior when setting the mp_backup_round_file convar.

We tried to set it like:

 string prefix = $"PugSharp_Match_{_Match.MatchInfo.Config.MatchId}";
            _Logger.LogInformation("Create round backup files: {prefix}", prefix);
            UpdateConvar("mp_backup_round_file", prefix);

After the update, the cvar content seems to not be the same, even if the prefix content stays exactly the same.

  799,1: mp_backup_round_file = `��
  1125,21: mp_backup_round_file = `��
  1127,1: mp_backup_round_file = `��
  1129,1: mp_backup_round_file = `��
  1131,1: mp_backup_round_file = `��
  1133,1: mp_backup_round_file = `��
  2049,1: mp_backup_round_file = �X�M�~
  2864,1: mp_backup_round_file = ����-V
  7209,1: mp_backup_round_file = �X9��

The files are later named something like (not sure which filename belongs to which output above) :

'`'$'\372\256\b\365\177''_round00.txt'
'`'$'\372\256\b\365\177''_round01.txt'

We can use Server.ExecuteCommand($"mp_backup_round_file {prefix}"); as a workaround which sets mp_backup_round_file = PugSharp_Match_59 and creates PugSharp_Match_59_round01.txt just fine.

By creating a hello world plugin I had to download the CounterStrikeSharp.API.dll DLL and reference it in my project manually, I believe you could upload it to Nuget packages (add a step to do that in Github Actions pipeline) so we can leverage a package manager to avoid referencing the DLL manually.

Hi i install right but when i write to console css_plugins list its says that command doesnt exist when i write meta list i see that folder that mean to be a sharp its with no name and next writting

I guess this has just remained like that and it throws the exception below when try to set the CCSPlayerController

Repro code:

EventPlayerScore eventPlayerScore = new EventPlayerScore(true);
eventPlayerScore.Userid = player; // exception
eventPlayerScore.Kills = 20;
eventPlayerScore.Deaths = 10;
eventPlayerScore.Score = 100;
eventPlayerScore.FireEvent(false);

i want to make command to set all players to 1hp but Utilities.GetPlayers() (from test plugin) not found

compiled without error but server crashes.

[19:43:13.904] CSSharp: Initializing
[19:43:13.904] CSSharp: Globals loaded.
cs2: /root/counterstrikesharp/src/scripting/dotnet_host.cpp:59: void* {anonymous}::load_library(const char_t*): Assertion `h != nullptr' failed.

After using these functions, the callbacks still work.

After experimenting a fair bit with command listeners earlier today, I think I might have stumbled upon a bug.
I was able to tap in to commands such as the jointeam, and meta commands and the likes.

I found that I was unable to track when the "kill" and "explode" commands were being used, and I suspect it is because it requires sv_cheats 1 to be enabled in order to use these two commands. But despite enabling sv_cheats, I could use the commands, but the command listener did not seem to register the use of them.
The code compiled just fine, and no errors were to be found in the console when the two commands were used.

This is what I had in my load function:

        AddCommandListener("kill", CommandListener_Kill);
        AddCommandListener("explode", CommandListener_Kill);

This is what I had outside of my load function, within the main / base class:

    private HookResult CommandListener_Kill(CCSPlayerController? player, CommandInfo info)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Debug - Listener kill / explode");

        // If the the CCSPlayerController entity is invalid then execute this section
        if (!player.IsValid)
        {
            return HookResult.Continue;
        }

        // If the pawn associated with the CCSPlayerController is invalid then execute this section
        if (!player.PlayerPawn.IsValid)
        {
            return HookResult.Continue;
        }

        Server.PrintToChatAll("The kill / explode commands are blocked");

        return HookResult.Stop;
    }

When the AddCommand is used with an existing command, the server crashes. The crash occurs during the server boot-up, even without invoking the command.

To reproduce:
Use "kill" as a command and attempt to run your server.
(The arguments should resemble the image below)

Hey,

I downloaded this artifact: https://github.com/roflmuffin/CounterStrikeSharp/actions/runs/6782595525 and I get these texts so it seems like it succesfully initializes:

However meta list command returns this where [01] and [04] are added when adding that counterstrikesharp runtime:

Also when joining to server, the whole server crashes. All these issues disappear when removing addons/counterstrikesharp/* and metamod/counterstrikesharp.vdf files.

Any ideas what should I test?

Listeners implemented in #16 have no .yaml file currently.

I'll put them in 'server.yaml' when I get home.

GiveNamedItem on windows cant give weapon_knife_m9_bayonet or other knives?

this mod is installed succesfully but i dont know where are the commands ? not single tutorial present on google already did a little search.

css_changemap ?
css_kick
css_ban
css_slay

how to check if im an admin , i set the id in admin.jason

Hi, so we just stumbled upon this minor thing.

I assume it is an issue on the end of CounterStrikeSharp and not CS2 itself, so take it with a grain of salt.
But I just so happened to stumble upon a minor thing with the SwitchTeam command, as I was trying to issue it on a player, with the team index of NONE, and 0.

I had no errors with my compiler, and the plugin loads fine. But when the code is run, I receive the following output in my server console:
CCSPlayerPawnBase::SwitchTeam( 0 ) - invalid team index.

What I am trying to do is to move a player to the 'unassigned' team.
I know it was possible to do in CS:GO, so I am just going out on a limb assuming the same applies here, albeit I am uncertain of whether it is the case. Hopefully, this is on the CounterStrikeSharp end of things and is an easy fix, and not an actual limitation.

This is just a collection of some ideas that people have been discussing in the Discord to improve the AdminManager API:

• Add groups of permissions to simplify how many flags are required. This can probably be enforced by including a syntax for individual flags @ and groups of flags #
• Remove all arbitrary flags from core e.g can_execute_css_commands
• Add wildcard support for RequiresPermissions and PlayerHasPermissions e.g @css/*
• Add OR support for RequiresPermissions, this can probably be done with a simple bool argument

Where can i download directly the run time version?

For some reason show_survival_respawn_status event crash server. Code below was tested on three different servers with latest CS2 and CounterStrikeSharp versions. Do you have any idea what happend?

Operation System: Ubuntu 22.04 / Ubuntu 22.10

Simple reproduction code

using CounterStrikeSharp.API.Core;

namespace TestPlugin;

public class TestPlugin : BasePlugin
{
    public override string ModuleName => "TestPlugin";

    public override string ModuleVersion => "0.0.0";

    public override void Load(bool hotReload)
    {
        base.Load(hotReload);

        AddCommand("test", "test", (player, info) => {
            if (player == null) {
                return;
            }

            player.PrintToCenterHtml("<font color=\"red\">TEST</font>");
        });
    }
}

Metamod list and css version

meta list
Listing 1 plugin:
  [01] CounterStrikeSharp (0.1.0) by Roflmuffin
css
  CounterStrikeSharp was created and is maintained by Michael "roflmuffin" Wilson.
  Counter-Strike Sharp uses code borrowed from SourceMod, Source.Python, FiveM, Saul Rennison and CS2Fixes.
  See ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.md for more information.
  Current API Version: 30

Background: I created a custom command plugin_info, and clients (once connected to the server) can successfully run that command when they open the in-game console.

Question 1: How can I write a response message back to the client so it shows up in their CS2 developer console?

What I want is something like this:

# Client opens developer console

> plugin_info
Plugin version: 1.2.3.4

With Console.Writeln(), which is what the custom command currently uses, the output is (obviously) written to the server's log/console, but not back to the client. I have dug through the CounterStrikeSharp API but have not found what I was looking for.

Question 2: Are there equivalent methods for CS2's console commands say and say_team? Or is there a way to run CS2's built-in console commands via CounterStrikeSharp? Here, it's about sending messages from the server to the in-game chat.

Edit: I did find Server.PrintToChatAll() to print a message to all players in the in-game chat.

I'm attempting to get the player's view model

server.hpp schema

class CCSPlayer_ViewModelServices : public CPlayer_ViewModelServices
{
public:
	// MNetworkEnable
	CHandle< CBaseViewModel > m_hViewModel[3]; // 0x40	
};

What i've attempted in c# plugin:

var ViewModelServices = new CCSPlayer_ViewModelServices(this.PlayerPawn.Value.ViewModelServices.Handle);
var viewModelArray = ViewModelServices.ViewModel; // line "68"

but receive the following error:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Hello,
Can you add admin menu?
I know that cs2 doesnt have menu yet like csgo, but im thinking of that if i say !admin, than a menu appears in the chat (just like in the mini admin plugin), which show me that !1 slay !2 slap !3 kick etc....

[CSS] You do not have the correct permissions to execute this command.

could this bug be fixed? Because of cs2sharp some metamod plugins commands show duplicated messages in the chat.
en example is Wills Metamod Surf Timer.

Kia ora,
I've been wanting to experiment with some high level helper functions for the C# API, similar in scope to Utilities.FindAllEntitiesByDesignerName<> function that I implemented. The thing I would like to have wider input on is the separation between higher level functions like these and functions for specific classes. I was planning on implementing a more cleaner get/set function for entity origins, but the main question is where to place it. Does it belong in the Utilities class? A separate class for entities? Or CBaseEntity? Where should we put the divide between more global functions and entity/object specific type things?

I think a good place to start would be to get some ideas for what the community wants to have implemented that could then be sorted into categories for implementation.

Sometimes after map change one user id will be -256, which is valid one somehow.
In controller my userid is -256, in status is 65280, 65280 & FF = 0, real id.

for (int i = 0; i <= Server.MaxPlayers; i++)
{
    var controller = GetPlayerFromIndex(i);

    if (!controller.IsValid || controller.UserId < 0)
        continue;

    players.Add(controller);
}

Here, controller.UserId < 0 should not exists?

I was vote kicked on my own server and temporary banned even tho i am css admin!

I set myself as admin in the admins.json file. most commands dont work or maybe i dont know how to use them? however i can use css_rcon so i been getting by with that.

Here are my flags

I found my server randomly crash when player connecting.
I was watching the server console and found each crash happens after print someone connecting.

The server throws an exception when trying to use the simple GampleEventHandler from the docs. The only change is that I used Console.Writeln() instead of the Log() method in the example. The exception is thrown when the @event is being read.

Have you come across this error before?

PS: Thank you for the work on this project! :-)

tried setting up a listener

RegisterListener<Listeners.OnMapStart>((mapName) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"MAP CHANGED {mapName}");
            SetupMatch();
        });

it seems to be not triggering when a map is changed.

using newest version 1.0.30

When the server starts, the following error occurs

The entry point to the rus_open Direct procedure was not found in the DLL C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\icuin.dll

Hey first of all congratulations for the amazing work, it is really exciting to use a modern language like C# to build plugins 🥳.
The releases are being generated using simple version numbers like from v12 -> v13, it would be interesting to follow the semantic versioning specification so it is easier to identify what is changing, for example if it goes from 12.0.0 to 12.0.1 I can tell that it has only bug fixes, but when it moves from 12.0.0 to 13.0.0 I might expect breaking changes, just a suggestion, I can see this is incentivized in the versioning of the plugins by looking at the examples.

rtv plugin configurated with ws: fy_pool_day in maps.txt eg.
plugin called: LiteMapChooser.

For the moment, I didn't find a easy way to that.

For example, I store players money in database. and I build different plugins to read/write it.
It might be a waste if I make a new Mysql connection on each plugin.

I am thinking to build a ASP .NET Core app running alone,
and use a shared Library which contains http/websocket api on each plugin.

Instead of shared data between app domains, I'd better call it: The whole design of CounterStrikeSharp.

You could find that shared data between app domains is the subset of the whole design of 'CounterStrikeSharp'.

Why we discuss it? Well, this project, CounterStrikeSharp, will be renamed to a better name in the future, and it will directly affect the future of the project, and the future of the whole ecosystem.

Any progress will be updated in this issue.

For now, yes, we are now using C# for scripting, but if I remember correctly, one of the aims is: any language what supports the format can be integrated easily and can also share data between different languages.

This requires us to make well-designed architecture. Generally, this MUST lead to a result: We are doing an engine, a tiny Operating System, in fact.

If we want to do it, Unreal, Unity, etc. must be important references, and also S&Box, which is the only game what using C# for scripting in Source 2.

Now, back to our question: How many layers should we have?

1. Engine layer.
   It can also be called Unmanaged layer (aka, not managed by the next layer), which handles such things:
   • Interact with native engine.
   • Provides infrastructures, which may include:
     • Reverse-engineering tools
     • Centralized logging
     • Hacked functions
     • Game-specific information
   • Distributed folder layout
     It should also be easily expanded.
2. Runtime layer.
   It handles such things:
   • Provide user space infrastructures, may include:
     • GC
     • User friendly API
     • Simplified error handling
     • Distributed folder layout
       It inherits the engine layer, and adds user space specific layers.
       It won't contradict the engine layer folder layout.
   • Wrapper of engine layer APIs
   • Application infrastructures.
     Based on the above, in general, we would select something VM-based, like Android of Java, Unity of C#, Unreal of Blueprint.
     Also, this layer should also be expanded easily.
     Our choice is C#.
3. Application layer.
   Since previous layers have already provided all infrastructure what you need, you now can write your own application.
   These applications should be restricted in their own space, and MUST NOT let them pollute any other, even any parent layers.

So, we have discussed a lot, what should it look like?
For distributed folder layout:

where:

1. Core binaries, which contain engine layer output and runtime layer output, and all of these extensions, and modules.

   For example, for now, unmanaged output is counterstrikesharp.dll, the runtime is CounterStrikeSharp.API.dll

2. Core configs. Other layers can only read, but can not write.
3. All log messages should be written in one place.
4. Core gamedata. Other layers can only read, but can not write.
5. Provides additional modules for engine layer and runtime layer.
   a. Unmanaged, what engine layer uses
   b. Managed, what runtime layer uses.
6. Plugins folder. All plugins are based on folders.
7. If you don't want to modify the config, just simply drag the plugin in what you don't want.
8. Plugin folder
9. Plugin binaries
10. Plugin config
11. Plugin game data
12. Plugin configuration, which declares the plugin information
13. A folder which can contain multiple plugins, since we control the plugin node by looking for Plugin.toml

    Noting that a plugin can have no binaries, just only config or gamedata provided, or some plugins provides a new language, then this plugin's sub-plugins, definitely, is the ecosystem of the language.

For implementation, in my opinion, we should:

• Separate API and implementation if possible.
• Modularize the structure, from project to binary output.

Thus, what can we do?

We use the current version of css as an example.

The current version of css's layer is:

• Plugins
• Managed side
• Unmanaged side

Currently, for the managed side, we have only CounterStrikeSharp.API.dll, which contains all implementations and interfaces.

Indeed, it is a single file, easy to develop, and easy to take. People will only take care of the API.

But what will happen if css updated? Well, it may crash, right? Then that's the problem.

So we need to separate the implementation and interface, I will call them:

• CounterStrikeSharp.Core.dll
• CounterStrikeSharp.API.dll

Then, no matter how implementation changed, it won't affect the interface. The Plugin will only invoke the API, and will not take care of how this interface is implemented.

Also, the CounterStrikeSharp.Core.dll also acts as a runtime of application and unmanaged side.

On the unmanaged side, as I stated previously, it interacts with the game engine, provide reversed-engineering stuffs, etc., and this is exactly what is doing.

OK, you may say: "This is too abstract, I want to see the sample code!", now here we go.
For Core, as I said, interacts with engine layer and interface layer, it is used to initialize the scripting runtime.

// Example core, part of the CounterStrikeSharp.Core.dll

class Bootstrap
{
    [Unmanaged]
    public static bool Initialize()
    {
        // These are all samples, what we need to initialize are all depends on
        // the implementation in the future.
        
        // Initialize sharesys
        // Initialize configsys
        // Initialize additional systems
        // Initialize pluginsys
        // Initialize modulesys
        // Load all modules inside the plugin
    }
    
    [Unmanaged]
    public static void Shutdown()
    {
        // unload all of them, reversed sequence.
    }
}

the CounterStrikeSharp.API.dll, provides the API exposed from .Core, and also wraps APIs from engine layers.

Based on my previous experience using Pug, may I ask if it is possible to add features such as

1.Vote for maps before starting the competition (very important)
2.Administrators can set whether to disrupt the team (very important)
3.Add a prompt box below the warm-up time prompt
4.Add [Ready] to the player name prefix on the scoreboard
5.Whether to enable edge selection in blade games when adding players to cast screens (convenient for me to copy this function to add other votes)

This is an important option for the competition function in the first part
I have many ideas about improving the completeness of functions, based on my long-term experience

Also, can we achieve registration setting Commands like sm_setting are much more convenient for administrators to control on the console

Thanks a lot !

Since CSSharp is taking off rapidly, and large amounts of plugins are being created, I'd like to suggest a long-term solution here.
A lot of plugins have unique admins.cfg files. This will be confusing for the average user when adding multiple plugins.

I'd advise CSSharp to add a base admins.cfg file that works similar to how it did in SourceMod: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Adding_Admins_(SourceMod)

This way, the average user (and plugin creator) will save a lot of time, both in terms of developing an admin system, but also to manage the plugins.

player.PlayerName = "<anything>":

workaround:

Investigate work required to support 64 bit Windows servers

• CMake modifications
• Windows .NET Runtime
• CI matrix builds
• Managed Code Windows Support (marshalling/DllImport)

(Reposting from a discussion by Dliix66 in Discord so it is tracked here.)

[When registering a handler for] EventPlayerSpawn when joining the server, it's called many times, but I can't really understand whether I did something wrong of if i need to handle differently some of these.

1. Called on player connect (player.CSTeam = None)
2. Called on team join (player.CSTeam = T|CT)
3. Called right after (2) (player.CSTeam = T|CT)

But if I respawn, go spectator or change team, this will only ever be triggered once every respawn (which is what I want).

I understand the 1st one and I can handle this easily with TeamNum, but for the 2 calls on first spawn after server connect, I don't quite get it.

and from a subsequent Discord message

It seems that calling the method player.PrintToChat inside Server.NextFrame fixes the issue in EventPlayerSpawn callbacks.
