# tws-t5-aio notes
|
|
|
|
Reference for the `tws_*.gsc` files in this repo. Platform quirks and
|
|
load-bearing decisions that show up as invariants in the code.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Copy all `tws_*.gsc` to `storage/t5/scripts/sp/` on the Plutonium T5 server
|
|
(v2 Plutainer: `app/runtime/plutonium/storage/t5/scripts/sp/`).
|
|
|
|
- `sudo chown -R 1000:1000 <app>` — Plutainer runs as UID 1000
|
|
- `docker exec <container> rcon-cli map_restart` — reloads scripts in place
|
|
|
|
## Platform quirks (T5 SP engine, Plutonium)
|
|
|
|
- **One `level waittill("connected")` only.** `tws_common` owns it. A
|
|
second listener breaks the T5 SP connect handshake. Per-player work goes
|
|
through `tws_common::register_spawn_handler` and gets dispatched after
|
|
`spawned_player`.
|
|
- **Chat uses `level waittill("say", ...)`**, not `callbackPlayerSay`. T5 SP
|
|
dedicated disables the sound subsystem, cascading through the say-callback
|
|
dispatch — `callbackPlayerSay` never fires.
|
|
- **`SetTimerUp(N)` only ticks when `N == 0`** on T5 SP. Non-zero seeds
|
|
render "0:00" but don't advance. Late joiners see 0, not real elapsed;
|
|
authoritative elapsed lives in `level.match_start_time`.
|
|
- **Dynamic text: use `SetValue`, not `SetText`.** `SetText` allocates a
|
|
config string per call; per-tick rebuilds overflow and take the server
|
|
down. Composite strings like `"87/160"` are three elements.
|
|
- **`NewClientHudElem(player)`, not `NewHudElem()`.** `NewHudElem` is
|
|
globally owned; in co-op every player's HUD draws on top of every other
|
|
player's. Fall back to `NewHudElem` only if elements don't render at all
|
|
(diagnostic).
|
|
- **Zombies namespace is WaW-derived** (`maps\_zombiemode_*`), not BO2's
|
|
`maps\mp\zombies\_zm_*`.
|
|
- **Check `t5-gsc-utils` source as well as its README.** Current source
|
|
includes `http::request` and `jsonSerialize` / `jsonParse`, in addition
|
|
to file IO, console commands and MySQL. Telemetry requires a DLL built
|
|
with these HTTP/JSON components; older builds may lack them.
|
|
See [HTTP source](https://github.com/alicealys/t5-gsc-utils/blob/main/src/component/http.cpp)
|
|
and [JSON source](https://github.com/alicealys/t5-gsc-utils/blob/main/src/component/json.cpp).
|
|
|
|
## Load-bearing decisions
|
|
|
|
- **Match / round timers anchor to first spawn / first observed round
|
|
transition — never level init.** Anchoring at init included the map-load
|
|
+ connect + intro window, producing "displayed 4:00 → frozen 7:00" drift.
|
|
Many BO1 maps pre-set `round_number = 1` at init, so the round watcher
|
|
fires on transitions only and the timer row seeds on first spawn as a
|
|
fallback.
|
|
- **Game-over trigger is level-scope, raced across three candidate
|
|
notifies** (`end_game` / `game_ended` / `intermission`) since BO1 maps
|
|
are inconsistent. Per-player triggers do not work — `self waittill("death")`
|
|
is intercepted by the zombiemode scripts before it reaches our scope, and
|
|
polling `self.health` misses the zero-crossing (health is rewritten during
|
|
the game-over sequence).
|
|
- **Bank writes DB-first, memory-second.** Every mutation writes to the DB
|
|
and only updates `self.bank` / `self.score` after the write confirms. A
|
|
dead DB can never create phantom money. Deposits use `INSERT ... ON
|
|
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE`; withdrawals gate on `WHERE balance >= ?` so the DB
|
|
itself blocks overdrafts under concurrent commands.
|
|
- **Bank command surface is `command::add_sv` (server console), not chat.**
|
|
SP-engine chat is unreliable and `chat::register_command` isn't available
|
|
in `t5-gsc-utils`.
|
|
|
|
## Current state / caveats
|
|
|
|
- `bank_load` in `tws_bank.gsc` is a **diagnostic stub**: bare minimum to
|
|
isolate what specifically kills the connect handshake. Do not restore the
|
|
stripped `getGuid` / MySQL body until the stub passes join cleanly.
|
|
- DB credentials in `tws_db.gsc` are hardcoded for the initial fleet test.
|
|
Move to dvars (`tws_db_host` / `tws_db_user` / `tws_db_password` /
|
|
`tws_db_name`) before this repo goes public — otherwise the fleet's DB
|
|
password lives in source.
