Just before June 25's l4d update, I had plugins
using GiveNamedItem to create an item and then WeaponEquip to force them to use it, after the update it is unable to create an entity with GiveNamedItem, I am unaware if EquipPlayerWeapon still works at all.
CreateEntityByName still works to create weapon entities though, so I am able to use it. Is it possible that the offsets changed or that the function is now broken?

Could someone possibly verify if the function is still working for them, or provide me with info on this, perhaps how to get it working again?

Thanks.

Edit:
It turns out that EquipPlayerWeapon actually crashes servers now, any ideas on an alternative to equipping a player with a weapon?

I use this, hope it helps

PHP Code:

new Handle:hGameConf = INVALID_HANDLE
new Handle:hGiveNamedItem = INVALID_HANDLE

//=======================================

public OnPluginStart()
{
    hGameConf = LoadGameConfigFile("l4d")
    
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player)
    PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(hGameConf, SDKConf_Virtual, "GiveNamedItem")
    PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_String, SDKPass_Pointer)
    PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_PlainOldData, SDKPass_Plain)
    PrepSDKCall_AddParameter(SDKType_PlainOldData, SDKPass_Plain)
    PrepSDKCall_SetReturnInfo(SDKType_CBaseEntity, SDKPass_Plain)
    hGiveNamedItem = EndPrepSDKCall()

//=======================================

public GiveNamedItem(client, String:weapon[])
{
    SDKCall(hGiveNamedItem, client, weapon, 1, true)
}

//======================================= 


make sure you have a l4d.txt in the gamedata folder with the following :

PHP Code:

"Games"
{
    "left4dead"
    {
        "Offsets"
        {
            "GiveNamedItem"
            {
                "windows"    "404"
                "linux"        "405"
            }
        }
    }
}
