Overview for Developers

Compatibility Issues
In almost all cases, SourceMod 1.5.0 is fully backward compatible with the 1.4.x releases. The following are the few places where this is not the case.
BfRead* and BfWrite natives not available on CS:GO:
CS:GO has a completely new usermessage system for which there is no direct way to force compatibility through the existing bitbuf read/write natives. To read or write usermessage parameters in CS:GO, you need to use the new Pb natives.
There is also a new GetUserMessageType native to check which one of the two usermessage types that the running game uses.
For more information, see SourceMod_1.5.0_API_Changes#Protobuf and SourceMod_1.5.0_API_Changes#UserMessages
GuessSDKVersion deprecated, GetEngineVersion added
GuessSDKVersion will continue to function as-is for now, but will be removed in a later version. Additionally, a compile-time warning will be thrown. It has been superseded by the new GetEngineVersion native which will give clearer results and is more extendable for the future.
For more information, see SourceMod_1.5.0_API_Changes#HalfLife
TF2_GetResourceEntity, TF2_GetPlayerResourceData, and TF2_SetPlayerResourceData deprecated
These natives will continue to function as-is for now, but will generate a compile-time warning and be removed in a later version.
Calls to them should be replaced with calls to the new GetPlayerResourceEntity and the GetEntProp* and SetEntProp* natives.
For more information, see SourceMod_1.5.0_API_Changes#TF2
