Thanks for the tip, Tony. Unfortunately though, I don't really know how to
get it working. The game crashes immediately when I respawn :/ I moved the
hl2mp cleanmap code to FrameUpdatePostEntityThink() in entitylist.cpp and
did a similar call to it as with respawn_entities. I added a concommand that
will set the cleanmap boolean to true. Then, in FrameUpdatePostEntityThink()
I check if the var is true, set it to false and execute the cleanmap code
from hl2mp with the proper changes that were necessary to make it compile.
Due to it crashing immediately, I decided to add DevMsg()'s to find out the
exact line it crashes on. For some reason, not even the first message is
printed:
void FrameUpdatePostEntityThink()
{
g_TouchManager.FrameUpdatePostEntityThink();
if( m_bCleanMap )
{
m_bCleanMap = false;
DevMsg( 1, "bla1\n" );
// Get rid of all entities except players.
CBaseEntity *pCur = gEntList.FirstEnt();
// ...
