lennypenny / sourcecmd

Allows console commands to be sent to source-engine games (hl2.exe). Works with text-mode clients.

SourceCmd - ngb's version

I will try to preserve most of the original words here.

This tool allows you to run console commands in your favourite source engine game (without having to enter it in the console).

For now every time you execute a command the game's console will yell something about not being in the main thread, ignore that.

This works with clients in text-mode, but only grabs the first instance of the process, not all.

Both issues are not a major problem for me, but it seems that one is able to fix the second one.

Consider that I am coming from ISO C++ background I am still pretty new to MSVC++. Forgive me if there are any slow updates.

Usage

Interactive Mode (only supports 1 instance at a time):

• Launch your favourite source engine game.
• Open SourceCmd.exe
• Type the name of the game's executable (in the working list below) and press enter.
• Type any console command you want.

Command line usage (will run in every process it finds):

SourceCmd.exe <process> <command>

Example:

SourceCmd.exe "hl2.exe" "echo Hello World!"

Confirmed working list:

• CSGO (csgo.exe)
• CS:S (hl2.exe)

Confirmed NOT* working list (will try to fix):

• Garry's Mod (hl2.exe) - crashes a few seconds later after sending first command via SourceCmd

Q&A

Q: Why isn't Garry's Mod, TF2, in the working list? A: Since I don't own some games/do not have them installed due to saving space + no more playing it, I can't test almost every Source Engine games available even when it's on my Steam game library.

I will appreciate it if someone can report whenever if a game is working or not via issues.
