Hi, well as the title says i'm trying to learn how to code plugins like zBlock that isnt dependent on SourceMod och what else just the plugin for it self, like a dll or something. I've searched and i can't find any documention about this?

Maybe you can find something in the developerwiki from valve.
Guess you are right, it seems there is no detailed documentation.

Yours sincerely

Here's a good place to start, I guess.

Vsp's are bad code for metamod source.

Yee i't doesn't describe alot, in sourcemod there are much more examples and documention so ;( Is there any way to convert sourcemod to a standalone server plugin?

Valve's documentation for VSPs sucks major... [insert rude word here].

Needless to say, you need to:

1. install the Source SDK through Steam
2. use GCFScape to explore it to extract the actual programming SDK
3. create a C++ class that extends the IServerPluginCallbacks class and implements all the abstract methods.

Oh, and that's just what you have to do to start your VSP. To make it do anything useful, you have to use or implement other interfaces (use IVEngineServer or implement IGameEventListener2 for example)

You also don't have access to anything that doesn't use edicts.

(Side note: The MetaMod: Source site has reverse-engineered SDKs for various versions of the Source engine. However, the official solution offers just the original SDK from 2004 or Orange Box SDK from 2007)

If you are compiling for Source 2009, you must change the names of some Valve libraries in Makefile and Makefile.vpcm:

In other words, compiling things for multiplayer games breaks without manually making some changes. Oh, and there is no official SDK for L4D/L4D2... sorry.
