On CheckEnvironment() return APIAddon_Preload instead of APIAddon_Normal. This will load all three functions (CheckEnvironment(), RegisterInterface(), Initialize()) during startup of AC instead of the usual two (CheckEnvironment() and RegisterInterface()).
There are functions that are not usable in CheckEnvironment() or RegisterInterface(), thats why they return APIERR_REFUSEDCMD. I'm guessing since these functions start when the project haven't fully loaded yet it won't have any project events to catch.
Initialize() can handle ACAPI_Notify_CatchProjectEvent (docu says so), but I'm not sure about other functions like ACAPI_Database or ACAPI_Environment.
Also don't forget to use ACAPI_KeepInMemory(true) else it might unload the addon at the wrong time.
