@ Steve: Get your facts straight or stay out of this discussion please.
Which fact do you believe I stated wrongly that its not a documented API if so I quote:
Alfred Reynolds wrote: They are using an undocumented hack to display those menus, this update removes the hack and so they can no longer use it (because the last subsystem that was using it, radio menus, has finally been fixed to be client side). They have a plugin API to display messages to users and get feedback, they should use that.
I don't disagree that the function they are using may well be helpful but the facts are that when you use undocumented hacks you have no come back when they just stop working. I know I code for a living and have use things like this in past but although I may cus when things like that just don't work anymore I know I only have myself to blame for using them in the first place. I think valve has been very considerate in this matter and have already offered to take in any requirements the mods have.
Alfred Reynolds wrote: I would love the authors of these programs to contact me and discuss their needs. We are trying to minimise the visual clutter that plugins introduce in the game, but we are always flexible (we will not tie ourselves to maintaining out of date code just because they found a way to trigger it however).
And as such I must protest when people get the wrong end of the stick and start spouting things like: "Valve bullying server plugin developers" Valve do a bang up job on support, the only other developer in the same league when it comes to support are Epic. They both do as much as they can to support the community although some don't seem to appreciate them.
