Changing game description

Is there a way to change a server's game description with SP? It's the string found in the 'Game' tab on the server browser:
SourceMod has 'OnGetGameDescription' for this, is there a way to achieve the same thing with SP?

It requires a hook. For which game do you want this?

With version 319 you will be able to use this little snippet.
Syntax: Select all
from memory import get_virtual_function
from memory.hooks import PreHook
from engines.server import server_game_dll
@PreHook(get_virtual_function(server_game_dll, 'GetGameDescription'))
def pre_get_game_description(args):
return 'Your description'

I looked at how SM (SteamWorks extension) does it, and it uses
SetGameDescription from
ISteamGameServer.
Isn't that better to use the function that is meant to set game description anyway?

Yeah
I didn't know that method exists.
However, getting this to work requires more work, because the ISteamGameServer header is missing (at least in CS:S). We should create a PR for that. For now the snippet should suffice. :P
