I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the server plugins that are breaking are those that use hacks to hook into the engine, rather than using the server plugin interface. Memory locations, etc change with every update, so it would be impossible for Valve to stop plugins that do this from breaking.
In order to prevent this, I recall Valve telling plugin writers to contact them so they can help them further expand the plugin interface, so they don't need to use unsupported methods to hook into the engine, although I'm not sure if anyone actually took them up on that offer. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Forsberg Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 6:38 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike: Source update released That's all true. One thing does confuse me a bit -- when you guys at Valve are running internal game-play tests, do you only ever play with stock-standard css? If not, and if you know the update stops one of those mods from working, perhaps a "heads up" to the mods you also use would be a nice thing to do? Something along the lines of: "sorry guys, hope you're not busy this weekend..." would probably do. Apart from that, meh... change happens. The update itself is really very good.
