-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Unrelated to the first problem, but when debugging using the mdmp files after a server plugin crashes, am I out of luck because I don't have the pdb of the server binaries of valve's games? I do have the pdb's that were built in my plugin (and I'm sure it was my binary that caused the problem) but it still gives me mostly useless information- all I can gather is that it was an uncaught null-pointer exception. (speaking of which, what does one catch with a null pointer access violation like that?)
