Cstrike now uses a hash table in the mod to cache calls to
pfnFindEntityByString(), so you won't be able to intercept them any
longer. You could intercept pfnMessageBegin(), the following set of
calls should be unique to round start:
// reset all players health for HLTV
MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_SPEC, gmsgHLTV );
WRITE_BYTE( 0 ); // 0 = all players
WRITE_BYTE( 100 | 128 );
MESSAGE_END();
// reset all players FOV for HLTV
MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_SPEC, gmsgHLTV );
WRITE_BYTE( 0 ); // all players
WRITE_BYTE( 0 );
MESSAGE_END();
Note that the bot fix was done independently of the entity hashing.
