I agree. I got a lame response from Alfred when I asked about getting HudMsg enabled; use those crap menus we have shown you how to use in serverplugin_sample.cpp. We are going to hack the DLL to enable us to do what we want, so just make it easier for us in the first place. If players don't

Yah, I'd have to say that's true. If I was a plugin author, I'd get a bunch together and create a document outlining what I'd wish Valve would do. I'd also send it through snail mail, not email. I'd also include the names of all the people involved. Politeness goes a long way ;-) Benjamin

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I do sympathize with the aversion to the warcraft3/superhero plugins. Last time I tried to join a CS1.6 server, I had to join about 8 servers before I found a server without one of those two mods. It was very annoying, but you have to ask

Benjamin, that's why I [OT]'d it, if you didn't want to get into arguments like this create an e-mail rule to deleted [OT] emails. If you didn't want to get in an argument, then don't reply, like everyone else who doesn't. I've been making plug-in for CS for about three years now, I like it so

All of those who propose for us to get over our attitudes and to create some kind of peace contract to send to Valve should actually try coding a plugin and take the painstaking time of learning how to hack functions through assembly and memory scanning before they act as if all this bitching is

You might be onto something here, the server search idea; defaulted to regular servers would be a dream. Then all the precious 'new money' won't be stumbling anywhere Valve don't want them. All plug-ins I have created so far were requests from server admins for basic things which could have been
