With this post you sorta imply that you will be releasing an update that fixes the vehicles problems. Do you plan on doing that, or was I simply misreading it? I am having a lot of problems trying to transfer the vehicles to client side. Can you give me some tips, or preferebly some example code (besides whats in the SDK) to get me started?
How do the IVehicle, IclientVehicle, and Iservervehicle work with relation to each other? Are these going to have to be consolidated into one, or which class should most of this consolidation take place in? There seems to be so much that goes in either client or server that it would be impossible to code it in both. I really need some help here, and would appreciate it if the guys at valve who wrote and (should) know this code could give me some real help. If I do get it working I plan on posting advice on Wiki to allow other modders to get it done without having to pull all of their hair out.
