I'm currently working on a similar kind of replacement for Pakrat, so this is probably the "with a hammer everything looks like a nail" style of programming... ...But if I were to make a VBCT replacement I'd want to do it in Java, especially now that we have the whole Mac-platform news.
1. A lot of code would automatically be cross-platform, including GUI look/feel. 2. Most of the data formats it has to access (gameconfig.txt) are relatively straightforward, there's no need for C-level code-sharing with the SDK. 3. You can use a library like commons-exec to easily "wrap" vbsp/vvis/vrad in an object-oriented manner. --Darien Hager _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
