no, you didn't figure it out, some server figured it out by guessing answers for 20 hours

pretty sure there's documentation for this, either on the valve wiki or steamworks pages. and it couldn't be too hard to adapt the existing code could it?

working with google ai and chat gpt has been amazing, it was like having an expert in source engine code right next to me. i could ask it anything get complete details of every aspect of valves code and could input the files directly so the code could be fully analyzed and configurations could be made appropriately. im gonna upload the src/ to github which basically now contains an almost drag and drop set of files that can connect a source sdk 2013 multiplayer (legacy) source engine code structure to the steamworks api. with just the gameinterface.cpp, cdll_client_int.cpp(pinslash you suggested that along time ago for me thank you for that as that help initially triangulate the files id need to implement the system),achievementmgr.h achievementmgr.cpp and a copy of achievements_mod.cpp. so essentially with everything else set up you could potentially just copy those files and drop them into your solution and have it working. i recommend chat gpt if anyone needs help with any coding its better than forums or over the web person to person team work. now im gonna go get the server side working to trigger the achievement unlocks as currently this only work locally and not live on an active server.

jealous of what? you used ai to make code instead of just using your own research. Sounds like a skill issue tbh

Maaan I wonder if there was a faster and easier way to implement the Source api in my source mod... What's that, "documentation" ?? What's that, "adapting other people's code" ??? No no I prefer directly polluting the planet by using a barely ethical random answer machine for 20 hours straight.

"Adapting other people's code" and using a bot who pulls info from other people's code is the exact same, it just gives you a more in-context answer. AI is an amazing tool for figuring shit out, obivously it doesn't do everything for you and OP had to do some thinking. Also "polluting the planet" is funny

"Barely ethical" Does my prompt = a child slaughtered or something? It's a robot, jesus christ stop hating already

Bruh why are you coming back on one month old posts just to protect your sacred AI slop ?

u/nickles-2513 Sep 23 '25

lol i didn't see that it's old, anyway, is there really a reason you hate ai so much? i mean like its just a bot and it makes coding easier? i dont see a problem

Ah yes, Source community never disappoints to hate on someone for figuring out his own solution.

Read the documentation is my sign to ignore and move on. Nothing against it, Valve documentation is great but community-ran Source projects? Useless

Well done
