-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Header files would be ok probably, but wouldn't we still be stuck at the point where if theres a big update the plugins break? They would have to give us new header files each time there is a css dods update and I highly dought they will keep up with that. Plus after an update, because we all know valve wont release header files before an update, all the plugins would be broken until mani/meta/whatever mod updates their hooks. :/ WHat we really need is a way to tell the game interface something like this: player->SetGameMovementObject(new CCSSDMGameMovement() ); Like setting what function the engine will use for certain aspects. Basically instead of having to hook the vtables and hack the function addresses, just tell the engine to use this function instead of what it was going to do. :/ I have only read about this method so I probably don't sound very professional.
