I have some linux TF2 servers and with the latest sourcemod snapshots (later than 3742) the builtinvotes extension crashes my servers
I have tried several newer snapshots but all crash my server on rtv. Previous versions of sourcemod run fine.

It should fail to load, as the usermessage interface version is different.

I thought this was going to be a quick recompile, but it appears that sourcemod-central's IUserMessages no longer has a StartMessage command. I'll have to take a look at what changed.

Personally, I wonder if I should just concentrate on finishing the plugin version since I don't have that much more coding to do for it.

That's the route I'd take, just sayin.

It was just a renamed function, so I just made the change, compiled all 6 versions, and recreated the zip with all the child and test plugins. And bumped the version number to 0.5.8.

So...

SourceMod 1.4 and SourceMod 1.5 3754 and below need 0.5.7.
SourceMod 1.5 3755 and above need 0.5.8.

Side note: I compiled 0.5.8 against the latest mmsource-central, sourcemod-central, and various hl2sdk versions... although I don't think that will cause any issues.

So, on the development front, I need some more data to be collected from the various game servers that are running Valve's voting system (rather than a plugin). Those games are: L4D, L4D2, TF2, and CS:GO.

This time, there's just one logging plugin that should work on all 4 games. It logs to a file named vote_diagnostics.txt in the game server's main directory. It should work on both SourceMod 1.4 and 1.5.

The main thing I need here is to log the various vote start messages to collect the Active Index from the game's vote_controller.

Just as importantly, I need to collect data from CS:GO's VoteStart to see what exactly the other_team_str argument is.

At some point, I'll have to stand up a CS:GO server to do further testing to see if Valve updated the fail reasons.

While I'm at it, do L4D or L4D2 do anything when a user fails to call a vote? TF2 and CS:GO have a special usermessage for this (of which I need to test in CS:GO to see if they added new error reasons).

Edit: Attached compiled plugin, too. Apparently the online compiler still doesn't have the new Protobuf module.

// SourceMod 1.4 compatibility shim
#if !defined SOURCE_SDK_CSGO
	#define SOURCE_SDK_CSGO					80		/**< Engine released after CS:GO (no SDK yet) */
#endif

This is doing absolutely nothing, you need the 1.5 includes to compile for the protobuf stuff anyway.

Yeah, I thought about that after I'd left to do some grocery shopping.

Development on this extension has officially ended.

All new development work is going on in NativeVotes, the Plugin version which was posted for initial testing a few minutes ago,.

I've heard that this extension doesn't play well with the SteamPipe update. I strongly suggest switching to NativeVotes if you haven't already.
