Virtual Offsets (Source Mods)

Calling virtual functions

I got this method from Mani, who I believe got it from Pavol Marko. Thank you!

I hope to expand on an actual explanation when I have the time (and understand it better). Hopefully, someone can expand on this, but for now I'll just post the examples and a list of the CCSPlayer virtual function table offsets.

How to use the examples

Basically, this lets you call any virtual function by knowing it's offset. A table is created for each class that lists the address of the function for each virtual function. This method takes advantage of that to call those addresses.

Look at the examples below and edit to match the function you want to call: Use the offset for the function you want to call in this line. (CCSPlayer_offset_list_(SourceMM))

void *func = vtable[m_Off_GiveNamedItem];

Change this line to match your return type and parameters:

union {CBaseEntity *(VfuncEmptyClass::*mfpnew)(const char *, int );

Call the original function with your parameters (change the return type to match the function you're calling):

return (CBaseEntity *) (reinterpret_cast<VfuncEmptyClass*>(this_ptr)->*u.mfpnew)(ItemName, iSubType);

You'll need to add an empty class for the union. Something like this:

class VfuncEmptyClass {};

Examples

These examples are for CSS. Mani has created a set of macros to make this easier. If you ask nicely, maybe he'll give them to you or let you post them here.
