stick this

   KeyValues *pKey;

   }

}

in your Source plugin. Don't forget to declare a CVAR named "hook_events". Fire up a game, and enjoy.

That'll be in PMTools:Source .

note: ServerConsole_printf() roughly equals msg().

Great work Pierre-Marie, I was wondering if you were going to add an option to dump KeyValues .
