I guess you would need to trick it with hooking traceline and then "modifying" the players origin in AddtoFullPack.
If you need further help, provide your full code.

I think modifying the YaPB code would be correct way to solve this. But when I saw the code, I know it gonna be a hard quest (the code seems messed up for me).
If u want to go this way, u should ask in its github repo to try to do this

It would be wise, if bots would be able to detect this automatically. But since every bot system works differently you can use the attached plugin. I have tested it with the bots and seems to work pretty fine I think. It supports blocks with transparency, and supports the blockmaker plugin from Necro. Somehow I couldn't make AddtoFullPack work with bots. So now, it checks if the bot is trying to shoot through a block and simply blocks it. The bot will still keep aiming at the players though. Eventually they will try to use a different path.

I don't know which annoying message you're talking about. If it is from the blocks plugin, make a seperate thread. It would be better considered in the request section of the forum though.

Just go for it. Not expensive. Don't make come up with things like that.
It totally depends what kind of other plugins you're using on your server.

You had yourself a working plugin with transparency support. But following things make me personally not help you anymore:

1) You could have searched the function of pev_renderamt
2) You ask for server performance, yet you make changes in the code and turn it into something worse with obviously not enough scripting experience. Why would remove the global classnames and "create always a new string"? So good job doing it!!

Maybe you're not going to care about my argument. But I stand with it.
