There won't be an updated SDK for 1109. There will definitely be one for
the release after. There will probably be beta SDK releases between 1109
and the next release. I think that about covers it the won't/will/might
be's. :)
As for compilers, I'm already making the changes so both GCC 2.91.66 and GCC
2.95.2 will build the SDK. So, you can look forward to that. As for other
compilers (MingW and Borland would be the only other likely candidates),
that may or may not happen. It depends on how much time, probably mine :),
is available.
I'm not sure if this has already been covered, but the interface change for
1109 is a new func in enginefuncs_t, GetPlayerAuthID(). The only mods that
need to worry about this are obviously the ones that want to do anything
with user IDs (won/steam), and mods that act as a proxy or passthrough for
the server DLL (like metamod, most bots, etc). The end of the enginefuncs_t
struct will now need to look like this if your mod falls into the above
categories:
// Forces the client and server to be running with the same version
of the specified file
// ( e.g., a player model ).
// Calling this has no effect in single player
void (*pfnForceUnmodified) ( FORCE_TYPE type,
float *mins, float *maxs, const char *filename );
void (*pfnGetPlayerStats) ( const edict_t
*pClient, int *ping, int *packet_loss );
void (*pfnAddServerCommand) ( char *cmd_name,
void (*function) (void) );
// For voice communications, set which clients hear eachother.
// NOTE: these functions take player entity indices (starting at 1).
qboolean (*pfnVoice_GetClientListening)(int iReceiver, int
iSender);
qboolean (*pfnVoice_SetClientListening)(int iReceiver, int
iSender, qboolean bListen);
const char *(*pfnGetPlayerAuthId) ( edict_t *e );
} enginefuncs_t;
