Chris,
Valve knows about the OB (SDK) VRAD problem but hasn't had time to fix
it yet.
There is a set of EP1 vmpi updates and fixes that have been implemented (and
tested) but not yet released for EP1 but those updates still need to be
applied to the OB modules (but Valve knows what they all are and that's a
big help).
I set things up in vbct to run vmpi and work around the default port
conflict problems but obviously we'll have to wait for L4D to get released
before we can hope for some developer time to finish this.
