Sourcemod (and therefore metamod also) works

Some context on what's required can be found in this chat https://discord.com/channels/335290997317697536/335290997317697536/1319548219755331636

Steps/acceptance criteria

• create a repo under https://github.com/alliedmodders/hl2sdk/branches/all with engine code, maybe mp2013base is enough.
• if it compiles and runs, great
• Create gamedata with signatures (as a compiler step or something?)
• Hook game functions with a test plugin?

I'll refine the steps later, currently boarding a plane.

Getting offsets and sigs should be done for us (at least on linux) by including symbols in the server binary like every other source game.

Windows requires a bit more leg work and generating byte string sigs, but once we get full parity and don't fuck around too much with base classes it should be working as intended.

Yeah from my discussions with people in the SM discord, basically metamod only hooks the virtual function signatures, so I think even if we implement some new classes we might not need to update the SDK repo I linked for every time. But I think the best way to find out for each build is to just test starting a server and seeing if MM/SM works before packaging up the binaries and sending them out. That's a little manual, although it could be automated I guess. But honestly if the steampipe process has a few manual steps or scripts to run it's not the worst imo, not in the short term at least.

@Masterkatze is handling that issue, so I'll assign to them.
