I have managed to sort of "repair" the event interface in server plugins (I mean make the plugin able to hook ANY event, known or unknown).
Code:
// global variables
KeyValues *GameEvents;
KeyValues *EngineEvents;
KeyValues *ModEvents;
void CPlugin::LevelInit (const char *pMapName)
{
KeyValues *pEvent;
// read the game events
GameEvents = new KeyValues ("GameEventsFile");
if (GameEvents->LoadFromFile (filesystem, "resource/gameevents.res", "GAME"))
{
// loop through all events in this file and record ourselves as listener for each
for (pEvent = GameEvents->GetFirstSubKey (); pEvent; pEvent = pEvent->GetNextKey ())
gameeventmanager->AddListener (this, pEvent->GetName (), true);
}
else
ServerConsole_printf ("Unable to read game events from file\n");
// read the engine events
EngineEvents = new KeyValues ("EngineEventsFile");
if (EngineEvents->LoadFromFile (filesystem, "resource/serverevents.res", "GAME"))
{
// loop through all events in this file and record ourselves as listener for each
for (pEvent = EngineEvents->GetFirstSubKey (); pEvent; pEvent = pEvent->GetNextKey ())
gameeventmanager->AddListener (this, pEvent->GetName (), true);
}
else
ServerConsole_printf ("Unable to read engine events from file\n");
// read the MOD events
ModEvents = new KeyValues ("ModEventsFile");
if (ModEvents->LoadFromFile (filesystem, "resource/modevents.res", "MOD"))
{
// loop through all events in this file and record ourselves as listener for each
for (pEvent = ModEvents->GetFirstSubKey (); pEvent; pEvent = pEvent->GetNextKey ())
gameeventmanager->AddListener (this, pEvent->GetName (), true);
}
else
ServerConsole_printf ("Unable to read MOD events from file\n");
return;
}
void CPlugin::LevelShutdown (void)
{
// forget about game, engine and mod events
GameEvents->deleteThis ();
EngineEvents->deleteThis ();
ModEvents->deleteThis ();
gameeventmanager->RemoveListener (this); // and stop listening to them
}
void CPlugin::FireGameEvent (IGameEvent *event)
{
// do we want to display game events on the fly ?
if (hook_events.GetInt () > 0)
{
printf ("Event \"%s\" received\n", event->GetName ()); // notify the player on his HUD
PrintEvent (event);
}
return; // finished
}
CON_COMMAND (listevt, "List all the events matching a given pattern")

Here are code bits from PMTools2, you should have enough to do something usable with them
