But currently I feel a bit at a loss here. As far as I understand this issue, the current Steam release of CS is only for the beta and CS 1.6 will be available in the usual manner as a single download, too. At least that is the information from Valve on this from, like, a year ago.
This is all fine and dandy for the whining players but it is a little unsatisfactory for addon developers who would like to test their stuff with beta releases to see if they have to change anything in order to keep compatible with the update. > Well, I heard that Metamod and AdminMod should work on it. I sure hope so, but, to be honest, I have no idea if that will be true. > I don't know about how other groups function, but I know UA dev teams would > rather not work in "panic" mode.

RL is using up more and more time and it is enough work to support an addon with just a handful of developers already. I could well do without having to try and make AM compatible with the HL/CS update in a few days when the masses flood our forums and mailboxes because it doesn't work anymore. Releasing it for Win32 only doesn't really help, either. There are people out here (me inclusive) that do all development on Linux machines. So, please, can we have some official info from Valve on your plans with the CS and Steam updates? Please?
