In Linux server, instead of manually hooking a function by using the vtable offset, is it possible to do it with finding the symbol during runtime instead?

I got the idea after looking at the CS:S rpg source and its use of GetProcAddress, but it didn't hook any functions with that.

Sorry if I got any of this wrong, but I'm a newbie to this stuff.

It is possible yes and only in linux and not through SourceMM, the only obstacle you have is finding a hooking mechanism which can hook non-classmember functions. Some guy was touting one a while ago on the IRC channel, I had a look and failed to get it to work as cleanly as he had originally stated so I left it alone...

It's called detouring and unfortunately you need to have a decent grasp of assembly before you jump into that realm. However, there's a lot of good literature on it, including Microsoft's Detour Library's whitepaper.

hmm....

so it would basically be really hard for me to try and hook, but is there a possibility of calling it like any member function?

Of course.
