ZeRo

Add bans, clientprefs, admin menu, translations and bundled plugins, we are close to parity with SourceMod with the exception of Database libraries but since plugins are C# & .NET this can easily be done via NuGet

Engine features

• String tables and downloads table (StringTable, Downloads)
• OnPlayerRunCmd / OnPlayerRunCmdPost with editable UserCmd
• User message hooks: read, rewrite, change recipients or block
• Voice: listen overrides, voice flags, scoreboard mutes, OnClientSpeaking
• Entity output hooks (class, single entity, once) and FireOutput
• Normal and ambient sound hooks; game sounds (soundscripts)
• Server-only entities (no edict) are now reachable

Connections and admin

• CheckPassword hook: password, Steam ID and network ID on ClientConnectRequest, plus OnClientCheckPassword
• Ban API (Steam ID and IP, timed or permanent) stored in configs/bans.json, with OnBan/OnUnban; banned players are rejected before they join
• ss_bans, ss_reloadbans; BaseCommands gains ss_banip
• ShowActivity / LogAction with the core ss_show_activity convar
• Admin menu (!admin) built on a reusable TopMenu: categories, access checks, admin_overrides support, player picker, sort order from configs/adminmenu_sorting.json

Plugins and runtime

• Plugin dependencies: [RequiresPlugin] / [OptionalPlugin], load order, waiting and cascading unloads, libraries with OnLibraryAdded/Removed
• Client preferences (cookies) stored in SQLite by default, with pluggable stores, !settings menu and ss_cookies
• API NuGet dependencies and native libraries are resolved at runtime
• Shared translations (translations/<name>/<lang>.json); core text (menus, target and command errors, votes) is translated per player in en/de/fr/es/ru; ss translations reloads them
• Per-player menu and vote text (TitleFor, TextFor)
• OnClientSayCommand / OnClientSayCommandPost chat listeners

Bundled plugins

• BaseCommands: admin menu items (kick, slay, ban, map, reload admins) and translations
• New: BaseComm, BaseVotes, FunCommands, NextMap, and MapChooser (end-of-map vote, rock the vote, nominations)

Docs, tests and scripts

• writing-plugins.md, sourcemod-mapping.md and README updated
• Unit tests for bans, cookie store and translation fallback
• Staging scripts ship the API's dependencies and native runtimes
