Developer Compatibility Bug Fixed

Jan 11, 2010

This notice only affects you if ALL of these statements hold true:

  • You are a Metamod:Source plugin developer.
  • You use CallClass syntax for SH_CALL.
  • You compile against core-legacy ("old API").
  • You use headers from mmsource-1.8 or mmsource-central.

If so, you are affected by bug 4210. This is a source-only regression that will cause SH_CALL to not work, or crash. Your users do not need to upgrade Metamod:Source, and thus we are not distributing a new binary release. However you will need to rebuild your plugin against updated headers.

I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, feel free to post in the bug, forums, or IRC.


Metamod:Source 1.8.0 Released

Dec 19, 2009

I am pleased to announce that we have released Metamod:Source 1.8.0. This is a major update that adds a number of new features for both users and developers.

This is the first official release that supports the Left 4 Dead 2 engine. For developers, we've also taken the opportunity to backport a few New API features to the Legacy API. This includes SourceHook's extremely useful "VP hooks" feature.

Huge thanks to Scott "DS" Ehlert for reverse engineering and doing a great deal of the work on this release.
