Future add-ons should use ForceRequiredAddon differently
(1/1)
Kyuande:
For a while I have discovered that ForceRequiredAddon loves to kick the non-dedicated users telling them they should install 1 missing add-on, but doesn't tell them how many add-ons they are missing. So my solution is to make a function simply to check every add-on, unfortunately it doesn't do any chat messages (maybe I should of thought of this earlier) to tell them what they are missing. Include it as a support file or include it in your server.cs, then make a main.cs or some file to exec where the real stuff should go.

Though this is a small problem for non-dedicated users it is still annoying to not be allowed to host due to missing 1 or more add-ons.


--- Code: ---//Accepts both full file and add-on name (add-on name is RECOMMENDED)
function isRequirementsMatched(%files, %doWarn)
{
echo("----------------------------------------------------------------------");
echo(" Loading required add-ons.");
%fields = getFieldCount(%files);
for(%i = 0; %i < %fields; %i++)
{
%match = isRequirementMatched(getField(%files, %i), %doWarn);
%invalidMatches += (%match == 0);
}

if(%invalidMatches >= 1)
{
%curPath = strReplace(filePath($Con::File), "Add-Ons/", "");
warn("   Found " @ %invalidMatches @ " missing add-on" @ (%invalidMatches != 1 ? "s" : "") @ ", will not run " @ %curPath @ ".");
echo("----------------------------------------------------------------------");
return false;
}
echo("----------------------------------------------------------------------");

return true;
}

function isRequirementMatched(%file, %doWarn)
{
if(isFile(%file))
{
%addon = strReplace(%file, ".zip", "/server.cs");
%addonName = strReplace(filePath(%addon), "Add-Ons/", "");
}
else
{
%addon = "Add-Ons/" @ %file @ "/server.cs";
%addonName = %file;
}

if(!isFile(%addon))
{
warn("  Invalid add-on \"" @ %addon @ "\"");
return false;
}

%curPath = strReplace(filePath($Con::File), "Add-Ons/", "");
if($GameModeArg $= "Add-Ons/GameMode_Custom/gamemode.txt" || $GameModeArg $= "")
{
%error = ForceRequiredAddOn(%addonName);
if(%error == $Error::AddOn_NotFound)
{
if(%doWarn)
{
warn(" ERROR: " @ %curPath @ " - required add-on '" @ %addonName @ "' not found");
}

return false;
}
}
else
{
if($GameMode::LastAddOnCount $= "" || $GameMode::AddOnCount != $GameMode::LastAddOnCount)
{
$GameMode::LastAddOnCount = $GameMode::AddOnCount;
deleteVariables("$GameMode::NameAddOn*");
for(%FC = 0; %FC < $GameMode::AddOnCount; %FC++)
{
$addonName = $GameMode::AddOn[%FC];
$GameMode::NameAddOn[$addonName] = 1;
}
}

if(!isFile(%addon))
{
if(%doWarn)
{
warn(" ERROR: " @ %curPath @ " - required add-on '" @ %addonName @ "' not found");
}

return false;
}

if(!$GameMode::NameAddOn[%addonName])
{
if(%doWarn)
{
warn(" WARNING: " @ %curPath @ " - required add-on '" @ %addonName @ "' not enabled in gamemode, forcing");
}

exec(%addon);
}
}

return true;
}
--- End code ---

isRequirementsMatched(%files, %doWarn) - You can either use files or add-on names (add-on names is better); warn basically echos to the console that things are missing

Example of server code:

--- Code: ---if(isRequirementsMatched("Support_NewHealth\tSupport_SpeedFactor\tSupport_EEEE"))
{
exec("./main.cs");
}
--- End code ---
