Removeing the time/date check on plugins From MQ2

[Riddlerr]

Well i never updated my source to 5/26 cause there was no need really. Just the fact that they changed it where any plugins have to have an later time/date than the MQ2Main.dll. Well today i saw how much of a pain in the ass it was to have the in the srouce now. so i looked around and found what needs to be takin out.. Open MQ2PluginHandler.cpp and remove each section of code.

DWORD checkme(char *module)
{
    char *p;
    PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER pd = (PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER)module;
    PIMAGE_FILE_HEADER pf;
    p = module + pd->e_lfanew;
    p += 4;  //skip sig
    pf = (PIMAGE_FILE_HEADER) p;
    return pf->TimeDateStamp;
}

static unsigned int mq2mainstamp = 0;

    if (!mq2mainstamp) {
        mq2mainstamp = checkme((char*)GetModuleHandle("mq2main.dll"));
    }

		return 0;
	}
    if (mq2mainstamp > checkme((char*)hmod)) {
        DebugSpew("Please recompile %s %d %d", FullFilename, mq2mainstamp, checkme((char*)hmod));
        FreeLibrary(hmod);

Hope this helps anyone that compiles there own.

also... could make this easyer.. just take the 5/25 MQ2PluginHander.cpp and tose it in the newest release's source.. and your gtg ..

They also blocked warp specifically so delete this.

	if (!stricmp(Filename,"mq2warp")) // ^_^
	{
		return 0;
	}

I like how they commented with ^_^.
