-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] As a plugin author, I hope you don't prevent the changes completely, but rather provide for the settings to be returned to what they were on disconnect. :) If there were a way to change client settings geared specifically for plugins, I'm sure they would be used by most plugin authors that needed to change client settings for some reason.
Why they were being changed (since you werent' sure why): Plugins using custom models were forced to use the cl_minmodel 1 setting after one of the first model updates. If cl_minmodels was left at 0, custom models would not show up. At the time, setting cl_min_t 4 and cl_min_ct 4 in addition to cl_minmodel 1 let custom models and the standard models coexist. For some reason, those settings no longer work after this update, but custom models are working fine again with cl_minmodels 0, so the problem has been fixed for those plugins (Mani, VIP Mod, ZombieMod, etc.).
