The raw
KeyValues
and direct address getters are also handy to work around API limitations.
Not against a separate plugin as a compatibility layer; main blocker at the moment is fleshing out the API. Library design is hard when I'm trying to keep the API clean (difficult to anticipate needs when it's stuff I'll rarely use myself, if ever).
I'll probably hold off on native adapters for TF2ItemsInfo / TF2 Item DB until I've attained feature parity, though the port guide is up to date if someone wants to tackle that themselves.

That said:
0.9.0 has been released
with some basic attribute support. A bit more barebones than the item support. I have no clue what the use case is for reading attribute definitions (if any plugins even use that at all), so at the moment there are only the basic accessors in addition to reading static attribute definition / value pairs from item definitions.
Let me know if there's any relevant features any of you would like to see added to attribute support (or other future additions).
I haven't messed with everything yet but do you know if there's a way to get a display name that can be used in menus and stuff from item definition indexes? I realized you could get decent display names if you use GetEntityClassname and print it into chat but I'm not sure how to access that, thanks homie.
