source-engine-interfaces-book

Tiny tool for making accessing Source Engine's interfaces simpler

This project was based on the idea of iterating over interfaces of Source Engine.

You no longer need to guess about which shared library contains target interface and care about its version.

Usage

It works fine only for both Windows and Linux x86/x86-64 !! SRCDS !!

I haven't explored the client binaries yet, but they are coming soon

The only thing you need to do is to use static method getInterface of IFacesBook class:

  auto* ICvarInterface = static_cast<ICvar*>(IFacesBook::getInterface("ICvar"));
  
  // NOTE: there are some interfaces that have two different versions on client and server side at the same runtime
  // so you should check how target interface is stored
  // EXAMPLE:

  auto* stringTablesClient { static_cast<INetworkStringTableContainer*>(IFacesBook::getInterface("INetworkStringTableContainer")) };
  // if true then that means VEngineServerStringTable001 was found first
  // while traversing over interfaces list and now stored as INetworkStringTableContainer
  // but that interface also has second version that exists too at runtime
  if (IFacesBook::getInterface("VEngineClientStringTable001"))
	  stringTablesClient = static_cast<INetworkStringTableContainer*>(IFacesBook::getInterface("VEngineClientStringTable001"));
