Hello, We tried asking Valve about this directly but got no response.
The client cvar querying stuff is broken (as I explained earlier) but the appropriate fix was denied. Our workaround for this was to implement a queue system in Metamod on the unwritten guarantee that the client, unless they disconnected, would always give a reply to a client cvar query. Unfortunately this isn't the case - if you query a client with an unknown/non-existant cvar, you never get a reply, completely invalidating the queue idea. I can think of three solutions: - We have to set a time-out time for cvar replies (UGLY!) - Valve makes clients reply with empty or preset/special string. - Valve fixes the API so query callbacks get the queried cvar name. This is a serious bug which basically makes this nice new system entirely useless. Any suggestions from Valve's end?
