Popups & sound libary

Hi,
I think those 2 are the next 2 major necessary python libs, once these are done, most of the more useful libs are there. Especially popups would be great to see, because it doesn't really make sense for plugins to have their own implementation (as it causes problems as soon other plugins override the current popup).
Sound would also be rather useful, since the Engine API is rather complex and also different for CS:GO/CSS :P
Anychance popups are next ? (and sounds)

Hey Omega_K2,
Popups are currently beeing worked on and should be available soon. For the sounds, I don't see the need of a library because you can directly use
IEngineSound or even easier, execute "play" or "playsound" using
engine.ClientCommand on the clients of your choice...

That is great news!
will popups be created in a way so clients can not spam "popup opening commands" to crash servers?
or will a good "way" be provided to use popups safely?

Hey La Muerte,
Actually, there's no plan of a "pending system" once the base is not fully working. But if one is implemented, I think that they will simply take the last spot of the tail if the popup was already sent to the given players.

I just made something simple that overwrites current menu for testing the menus quick, i just read your post as in it would take some time to code
but im sure the one you guys are making have many more features

I guess my question on the sound module is what would you want that module to do? I have nothing against adding one, but I just need to know what all functionality to look to implement.

maybe in the timer that calls the menu back every x could have an appending list so we could append menus to user? without messing with the menu items

Well, I was asking about a "sound" module, not menus, but thanks for the suggestion.

Taking care of all the related things you need to do, i.e. precaching and stopping sounds easily though the engine (not being much harder then to do then just creating a object). It should also be compatible thoughout orangebox/csgo engine
Syntax: Select all
s = MySound('path/to/file')
s.play()
#later..
s.stop()But while still keeping some possibilities:
Syntax: Select all
s = MySound('path/to/file',users=(1,2,3), attenuation=0.7, volume=0.5)
s.play()
#later..
s.stop()

Ok, I will look into adding this type of functionality. I am also planning on adding a list object that handles downloadables, at some point.

was this sound functionality ever added ?
engines.sound is there but how would i add custom sounds etc and example of playing sounds would be great thanks in advance

You can handle sounds directly, but there has not been an API build around it as of yet. We still plan on doing this, but just have not gotten to it.

Is there/will there be a way of streaming audio to a player, without having them download the file in advance? (I'm not talking about an motd with an embedded music player, I'm talking about doing this through the Engine's sound system.)
Also a general popup/menu library would be nice, since plugins that override each other's popups are quite annoying, and pointless to code atm.

Using the path to engine sounds should do it

I wrote my own popup library, working very well.

I think they changed the API a lot again, so it may need some tweaking though to get it to work with the current dev version, it was working with the last release last time I checked though.

The problem is that it isn't official, and that when there is an official library yours will have to be switched out for that one.
