I've found a solution to the problem!

First I downloaded a random plugin's source code (FakeFull on that page). MSVC converted the project for 2010, I changed the include directories to work with my setup and removed the custom build step. The project then built successfully and loaded properly with metamod-p. After that, I started ripping parts of code out of the project hoping to find some special code that breaks it. I was able to remove almost everything until the "GiveFnptrsToDll" function in "meta_api.cpp". The Module Definition File used by FakeFull needs this for some reason but I decided to delete it anyway and change the project settings around so that I could compile without errors. Finally, it wouldn't load with metamod-p.

Enough backstory, here's how to get the stub plugin working:
(replace each "YOUR_PROJ" with your project's name)

1) Create a file in your project directory called "YOUR_PROJ.def".

2) Put this inside of it:

LIBRARY YOUR_PROJ
EXPORTS
	GiveFnptrsToDll			@1
SECTIONS
	.data READ WRITE

3) Go into your project's settings and change this:
Linker->Input->Module Definition File->".\YOUR_PROJ.def"

4) Copy this function into your "meta_api.cpp" file:

void WINAPI GiveFnptrsToDll( enginefuncs_t* pengfuncsFromEngine, globalvars_t *pGlobals ) {
	memcpy(&g_engfuncs, pengfuncsFromEngine, sizeof(enginefuncs_t));
	gpGlobals = pGlobals;
}

5) Test it! I've attached my project files in case if it doesn't work for you. There may be some other project settings that you need changed.

Edit: I just realized this code was in h_export.cpp. I guess the definition file was the cause of the problem.

I'm getting this error while compiling.

PHP Code:

Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State
Error    C2733    'Meta_Query': second C linkage of overloaded function not allowed    w00tplug    C:\Users\abhis\Desktop\stub_plugin\meta_api.cpp    81 


Any solution ?

You have 2 incompatible declarations of Meta_Query, ensure that the implementation matches the header.
