I was not aware of these scripts. I tried using makesig one, but I got the syntax error.

PHP Code:

makesig.idc,23: Syntax error near: auto

Your IDA version is too old, 5.x is not supported.

It REALLY hurts cheat developers, when they're trying to find memory addresses/signatures from symbol names.

However, I find it disappointing that we the modders also suffer from the symbol removal.

Well, according to my matchmaking experience, it doesnt hurt them that much at all. Then again, they can do it for client libraries only, not for the server ones. Shortly after they've released the stripped binaries cheats were back live within hours.

Just like SourceMod gets gamedata updates within hours after game updates.

In that case, I have to buy the premium version of IDA? Is there no way getting around it? I only use it for game binaries.

It kinda hurts cheat developers. It just makes it more difficult to find server-side exploits and holes they can use to develop cheats (one example would be that insta-plant and defuse cheat) because it makes it harder to reconstruct game's code. But yeah, it hurts modders more than cheaters.

i've got my sigs, and offsets thanks for your help by the way!
Did they change the player entity since css?

it crashes the server when this is executed with player as a classname

	bool GetSendPropOffset(const char *classname, const char *name, unsigned int &offset)
	{
		sm_sendprop_info_t info;
		if (!gamehelpers->FindSendPropInfo(classname, name, &info))
		{
			return false;
		}

		offset = info.actual_offset;
		return true;
	}
