One of those is the menusystem and there are probably others. /Bjorn -- The multiple voices inside my head are having a conversation, unfortunatly, I wasn't invited... ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Many of the server plugins/mods don't use the APIs provided by the SDK. I dont understand this way of resoning. Let take this metaphor. If you provide a road from A to B. But if most people can use a shortcut, to save them time, they will use it. After a while you will have a path going through that shortcut. Why not simply create a road on that path? My argument would be that sometimes there are lots of different paths created as shortcuts that have the same start and end, and it's inefficient to create many roads in place of these when there is already a perfectly good road available. Thus if you build a wall across all the shortcuts either people will make new shortcuts, but it may take a while to find them, or people will start using the designated road and will always be able to get to the destination (and never have the problem of a wall being in the way). john ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlcoders] RE: [hlds_linux] Engine update
It would be useful to know the precise nature of the shortcut and the official path. If it's just some glue code to minimize typing, it might be better implemented as a 3rd party library that translates the shortcut in the mod to the more verbose form that Valve dictates. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
