[hlcoders] Does anyone have any tips on testing multi-player mods
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I was just wondering if there's any easy ways to run multiple instances of you HL2mod on one machine? Also I just want to know what kind of techniques people use to test their game thoroughly. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] Compiling Source SDK with MinGW
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Not the ideal alternative, but I guess I might have to use it. Can I still build the sdk from the command line with this Express version?

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Thanks for the quick reply. Hmm. So what's the alternative? Write the client and server dll's from scratch? Can that even be done?

[hlcoders] Compiling Source SDK with MinGW
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've been playing around with the source sdk and have been trying to compile it with MinGW and MSYS. Most of the compile errors I encounter are from the pre-processor directives identifying that _WIN32 must mean I'm compiling with an MS compiler, which I have to modify and add a smarter check to. Although I think those problems are just the tip of the iceberg. So I was wondering if other's have looked into building a release that's a bit more compatible MinGW and other alternative compilers and ultimately(IDEs). I'm pretty new to the scene so I don't know if I'm asking a question other's have already answered or not.
