[hlcoders] Player HULL vs HIT BOXES
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I changed the player hull and view to very low and now it seems like I cant hit the model over that hull (projectiles go right through) even though that the hitboxes cover the whole model (custom model). - Nic2 -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

Re: [hlcoders] Code File Structure
In general, there isn't a magic webpage or manual that says things like If you want to mod the crossbow, its source files are x.cpp, y.cpp, and z.h As you spend time with the code, though, you'll eventually develop some kind of intuition about where files/functionality are probably located. Visual Studio also has a lot of nice features (Go to definition, Go to declaration, etc.) that can make navigating the source easier.

Re: [hlcoders] Player HULL vs HIT BOXES
I believe any hitbox that lies outside of the player's hull cannot be hit. I am pretty sure you must keep your hitboxes inside of the hull.

RE: [hlcoders] Player HULL vs HIT BOXES
Hitboxes are only tested when the ray/box trace intersects the surrounding bounds of the entity. For players the surrounding bounds are simply the collision hull in world space. In your case that won't work so you'll need to modify the surrounding bounds.

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. You will have more problems during linking than you did during compiling. The compiled game code that you create must link against libraries that you don't have the source code to (for example the VGUI2 library). These libraries use Microsoft C++ name mangling for exporting function names and unfortunetly, this name mangling isn't compatible with any other compiler/linker. You can not convert the MSVC libraries easily to COFF format (or any other linker format) without having access to the source code to rebuild the libraries. Even if you can get everything to compile, you won't be able to link everything to generate the final DLL(s).
