How are you using the filesystem interface? Have you hooked it in any
way, or does the server plugin interface come with a filesystem
interface already?
Just that you shouldn't get a privileged instruction error just because
of the stuff you pass to AddSearchPath.
You could try using:
const char *test_addon = "CitSkins"; // Citizen Skins
instead of:
const char test_addon[50] = "CitSkins"; // Citizen Skins
but also remember that clients won't run this code, so as a server
plugin you won't get very far if the client doesn't have this content in
their game folders, and if you forced a client to download the whole of
counter-strike content im sure they wouldn't be very happy :P
