I'm working on a way to make valve updates of this nature irrelevant by loading the gamedll before the interface request is known. Hopefully I'll have it committed to CVS tomorrow.

I've got a question about this:

* NOTE - As of API 7, you can override factories before the engine and gamedll exchange them. * However, take care to note that if your plugin is unloaded, and the gamedll/engine have cached * an interface you've passed, something will definitely crash. Be careful.

Is there any way to get around this? Perhaps doing something like firing an event that says such and such interface will become invalid, and other plugins can catch that and handle it appropriately?

Also, is there any way for a plugin to see if Con_Printf is found? I know sourcemm prints a warning message, but some sort of bool method somewhere that says it's usable or not would be nice.

There is no way around this, sadly. Once the engine or gamedll have cached an interface of yours, they're is no way to tell them it has changed.

There is an internal function to do this - I'll make it public before the release.

Well I meant having a callback for plugin unloading that other plugins can use. Maybe one of the arguments could be a list of the interfaces the plugin created so there's less guesswork.

I was also thinking of literally firing a game event for this, but I don't really know how to make custom game events, if that's even possible.

Actually, I was planning on adding this for not this release but the next. It would be IPluginListener, like SourceMod has.

so is there a way to fix this problem?

The DOD:S problem was fixed in sourcemm 1.1

[showdax]

It doesn't fix it for plugins that use this interface though, but the fix is trivial if you don't intend on using the two new functions.

I've got a question about this:

Well as brief as your comment is it explains alot.

So, are these only changes between version 003 and version 004? Somebody has verified this?
