Repro rate: 5/5

Repro steps:

1. Launch the server running the latest version of this plugin.
2. Unload the plugin by running css_plugins unload plugins/SharpTimer/SharpTimer.dll.
3. Load the plugin back up by running css_plugins load plugins/SharpTimer/SharpTimer.dll.
4. Notice that the console will be spammed with the above call stack and the plugin will not work.

Note: Attempting to reload the plugin with css_plugins reload plugins/SharpTimer/SharpTimer.dll it will state "Could not reload plugin "plugins/SharpTimer/SharpTimer.dll""

Is there a different or more files that should be reloaded other than SharpTimer.dll? There were a few I tried but none with good results. SharpTimer.dll was at least able to disable the plugin but not reenable it. Alternatively, is there a cvar that enables/disables this plugin? Or is this just not possible with the plugin currently?

it's not possible atm, restarting the server is the only solution. it can probably be fixed but I don't think it's a priority right now, also idk why anyone would need to disable & enable the plugin 🫨

[DragonHeart000]

I'm trying to find a way to disable and enable the plugin as I am using this server for multiple game modes. Don't want to have to have a timer when I switch the game mode to retakes for example. I was attempting to have different cfgs that would run on a per map basis so when the map changes to another game mode it would enable and disable the proper plugins for it and change any other settings needed.

Appreciate the confirmation on it not being possible currently at least so I don't keep trying to find a way to make it work this way. If it's not a priority for the dev team currently I may look into the issue myself.

Not currently a priority, as gamedata would make this difficult to fix. Use ds_workshop_changelevel as a workaround to reload the plugin.
