sourcemod — The standard Viper library

This is the standard library provided by Viper. It is all written in C, and should be considered the fastest way to interact with the Source Engine.

exception ViperError

Used for all Source-related errors. For example, this would be used to indicate an invalid entity, but not an object of the wrong type given to a function.

Plugin_Continue

Plugin_Stop

Plugin_Handled

These are frequently used as return values in callback functions to instruct Viper how to handle a situation. Generally, Plugin_Continue means to continue processing other callbacks, Plugin_Stop means to stop whatever processing is going on, and Plugin_Handled means to stop processing because we’ve done our job.

get_game_path()

Returns the full path to the game directory.

get_sourcemod_path([path=""])

Returns the full path to SourceMod. The path argument should be a string, and is appended to the SourceMod path that is returned. This is for convenience and readability.

class server_out

Writes to the server console. An instance of this class is used to overwrite sys.stdout in order to provide print redirection to the server console.

sourcemod.server_out.write(msg)

Prints msg to the server console.

sourcemod.server_out.real_stdout

The value of sys.stdout before it was overridden by this class.
