First of all a big thank you to eveyone who has helped me thusfar with my plugin I am now in the process of moving it to SourceMM as a base.

My question is, is there any considerations I should be aware of when moving from the modified Valve example plugin in the SDK?

thanks again.

The one thing I would suggest is to remove the FireEvent hook in the sample_mm and instead inherit IGameEventListener2.

SamplePlugin.h

class SamplePlugin : public ISmmPlugin, public IMetamodListener, public IGameEventListener2

	// game event listener
	void FireGameEvent( IGameEvent *event );

SamplePlugin.cpp
Also, add your listener in AllPluginsLoaded() rather than Load()

	// add event listener from .res files
	// files:  ../hl2/resource/serverevents.res ../hl2/resource/gameevents.res  ../mod_directory/modevents.res  
	 m_GameEventManager->AddListener(this, "round_end", true);

Here is a modified version of the sample_mm plugin that has those changes made:
sample2_mm

If you rely on NetworkIDValidated(), you will find that there's no such callback for the GameDLL.

Most people implement it by placing all connected players into a list/queue. Then you hook GameFrame, and every frame, check if a player has a steamid yet. Once they do, remove them from the queue and call your own NetworkIDValidated routines.

FYI: It's a good idea to use g_SMAPI->pGlobals()->time or something, and limit your gameframe processing to every .5-1seconds.

(I'm sure someone has an example, unfortunately I don't at the moment.)

OR...

void GameFrame()
{
     static int x = 0;
     x++;
     if ( x == 10 )
     {
          // CODE HERE
          x = 0;
     }
}

int x = 0;

void GameFrame()
{
     if (x++ == 10)
     {
          x = 0;
     }
}

Pulling random numbers off the stack isn't really a good idea.
