Sadly, it's not just a matter of finding someone with sufficient skill in C++ and VS2003. We've had a few such skill coders come and go. It's more of a matter of finding someone with enough experience with the HLSDK and the patients to figure out the custom objects involved. Those few bits we have added to the HUD over the years (such as the Image panel display, and the status icons), have been coded up from scratch.
There's very little actual C++ coding involved, beyond basic operator syntax, as MSC is made up almost entirely of custom objects. Which is why we refer to it as "MSC++". Even those with experience in the HLSDK that runs beneath it are becoming an increasingly rare breed. It's mostly older folks now, and finding someone that old that's still interested enough to parse through dozen year old code that's had nearly as many hands in it, would be a rare find indeed.
