Plugin Types

BAKKESMOD_PLUGIN(CoolPlugin, "Cool Plugin", plugin_version, PLUGINTYPE_FREEPLAY)

These are a relic of an unrealized feature. Most do nothing.

It’s easiest to just leave it as PLUGINTYPE_FREEPLAY from the template, but you can use any of the non-threaded options interchangeably.
PLUGINTYPE_FREEPLAY through PLUGINTYPE_REPLAY plugins all work in any gamemode or playlist

PLUGINTYPE_THREADED means that the plugin’s onLoad() is called in its own thread
PLUGINTYPE_THREADEDUNLOAD means that the plugin’s onUnload() is called in its own thread
These are only necessary if you have something very complicated and time consuming in your onload or unload.
All of the others do nothing.
