This is cool, it's easier to hook stuff in e.g. tier0 now. I'm unsure about the CRC refactoring though.

Is this a TODO? Or does this magically open the $BASE/bin/engine.so as well as the $BASE/csgo/bin/server.so?

Yes and no... and good catch.
The TODO was in regard to games that don't use standard paths (/bin, //bin). However, you're absolutely right that it's not accounting for the far more common case of all of the files normally just in /bin. I'll have to revisit that. The easiest solution to both problems may be to just open/read the files via IFIleSystemBridge.

Some other issues with this current method of using Valve's filesystem layer is that if MM:S is loaded via the gameinfo method, it's loader will be picked up instead of the game's server.dll. |

I updated with a different approach. The aforementioned issues appear to be solved now on Windows. It's currently completely broken on Linux, but it shouldn't be too bad to fix. |

What's missing for linux support here? We could have used this for the optional game update #1766 |

Before this, there was a bad assumption that, like on Windows, POSIX module handle pointers were within the module's address space (and thus usable with dladdr). That's not true! Instead, to get a usable address on all platforms, we'll do a lookup of the CreateInterface function that exists in all modules. This also has the (arguable) benefit of further locking this implementation to modules owned by the game. To get a valid address inside the module now on both p

Could use the same link cast as in #576, but limiting the allowed binaries to engine ones seems reasonable given those are the libraries targeted.
Cool. That's good info. I had a small back-and-forth about this in my head. I'm not a fan of just casting the handle since that does not seem to be an API guarantee. However, it looks like |

Is this supposed to automatically recognize the _srv filename suffix in some linux binaries? Edit: turns out it will, but only if you use lowercase! |
|
Yes. To clarify, any platform-specific prefixes and/or suffixes are handled automatically. File system case sensitivity can still apply. |
