lol, seems rather arrogant of valve to limit plugins because of this (not saying I don't believe you botman!) Valve == evil

Thats a pretty stupid thing to do, maybe they could put up some kind of filter to leave out servers running those mods?
They have to face the fact that on its own Counter-Strike, ect are not that entertaining after a while.
Thats where server-side mods come in and change up the gameplay in interesting ways.
Look at TFC and the NeoTF server mod, wether you hated it or not it added a unique and fun gameplay change rather than "grab flag, cap, grab flag, cap".
If anything these server side mods are one of the reasons why they stay popular for so long.
As for anyone who says "just make your own mod"...
How many people want to play a mod with only a few changes to gameplay? Not only that the player/server count just won't be there.

But when has valve listened to its customers anyway?
As far as I know r_3dsky is still a cheat cvar despite it giving a large performance increase and causing no unfair advantages.

Instead complaining about evil Valve (it directs You to nowhere), just wait patiently for publicing the info by our colleague from other board he took from Valve code. He even has the strucures of data, so it has everything (I think) You will need to code bots for CS:S (and probably for other mods, too).
Stay tuned.

Here You have guys the info I've got as a reply to this what Pierre wrote:

CS:S DM has been using the same offset signatures for almost 3 months (that's more than 10 updates)


Because he is really busy since he is working on 3 forums as a main moderator-admin and on 3 projects, he is full time student and has a job - that's why he even can't write the reply him-self here for this moment.
We just need to wait...

The problem is - last time Bailopan is working as only one developer with 3 big projects - AMXMODX , CSS : DM and SourceMod. Other people left him alone (SniperBeamer, PM OnO to) - so for one man is too much work on 3 projects pararelly - that's why all things go slowely now. When I asked him last time about possibility to share result of his work , because some people at BU still are complaining ( ), he told me so: "Find me someone to help or stop complaining". He needs realy good coders, because working on HL2 code without HL SDK is really difficult and because of this also the code of sourcemod and CSS : DM is much complicated (because based on disasembled HL2 code). So I can folllow him - "find someone to help him or stop complaining the sources of his work aren't released".
He doen't want to release his surces until they will be really good to release.He doen't want to release his surces until they will be really good to release.
If You know guys someone as a good coder wanting work on SourceMod and CSS : DM - please ask him if he wants work for these mods with Bailopan and report it me.
