DLL Alternations

There are changes to some of the core DLL files that run CS:GO.

1. Client.dll
2. Matchmaking.dll
3. Server.dll

CS:GO Updated Schema

All the items' URL links and locations have been modified to get rid of the "\/" and replace it with "/". This is basically cleaning up the code to have the programs run at max optimization. Some internet browsers were also having issues reading the "\/" and errors were happening.

• Example of the changed code:

- "items_game_url": "http:\/\/media.steampowered.com\/apps\/730\/scripts\/items\/

+ "items_game_url": "http://media.steampowered.com/apps/730/scripts/items/

- "image_inventory": "econ\/weapons\/base_weapons\/weapon_deagle"

+ "image_inventory": "econ/weapons/base_weapons/weapon_deagle"

- "image_url": "http:\/\/media.steampowered.com\/apps\/730\/icons\/econ\/weapons\/base_weapons\/

+ "image_url": "http://media.steampowered.com/apps/730/icons/econ/weapons/base_weapons/

More code cleaning is taking place, with the deletion of many TF2 and Dota 2 related strings, plus adding nameable string to knife and deletion to cases.

- "can_craft_mark": true,

- "can_be_restored": true,

- "strange_parts": true,

- "paintable_unusual": true,

- "autograph": true,

...

+ "nameable": true

+ "can_delete": true
