I have a question. I am currently trying to write a plugin and need to know the players id in game. I want to use the pub namespace from the server.lib and often you need the players client id.
For example I want to retrieve if the player is in space and for hooking i request the shipid - but therefore i need the client id. So the question is. How do i determine the client id at the client side or is there another way i have to go? Thanks in advance!

If you're playing SP, the player id is always 1; if you're not playing SP, calling the functions in server.dll is not going to do you any good.
However, you can get the current base at [0x66873c] (and the location follows at [0x668740]) - if that's zero, you're in space. The current system is at [0x673354]. You can get the CShip* from [[0x679744]+8] (if you're not in space, [0x679744] is zero).

Ok, thanks for the detailed hints. So practically using any of the server.dll functions calls would do more harm than be useful for MP?

The client doesn't load server.dll during MP, so if you load it yourself, it's just going to have a player count of 0 and all the calls will fail.
