You can use the CEmptyServerPlugin as a base, but, you have to change it to match all the server functions with similar client functions. I never tried this, so, it's on you to find these client functions in the SDK. If you can't find appropriate functions, it will not work with Valves API.
Take a look on the prec.dll from the program, you will see some strings which will give you some hints, like: IEngineSoundClient003 GAMEEVENTSMANAGER001 VEngineClient013 ... > than you Saul, as always... for your wise answer..... > > and Ronny..... that's why i'm asking this to you, people with experiencie > programming using VALVe's API..... if that plugin is not using hooked > functions.... what strategy do you think it is using?..... maybe... we can > learn something new in this discussion. > > if u had the challenge of detecting when a player dies (client-side)... > how > could you do it without using hooks and only using the VALVe's API?...
