I should have described the problem a bit better. I did do that, which
means it compiles fine on the server side of things. But as soon as I
compile it on the client workspace, it spits out errors about redefinitions
of Vector2D, etc... I've tried just getting the cl_enginefuncs_s structure
definition alone, but I haven't had much luck.- Varlock ----- Original Message ----- From: "omega" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 10:47 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Server/Client CVAR Problems > #ifdef CLIENT_DLL > #include header > #endif > > -omega > Blackened Interactive > http://www.nofadz.com/blackened > IRC: irc.gamesnet.net channel: #blackened-interactive > Assistant Coder, Underhive (http://www.underhive.com) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Varlock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2001 1:25 AM > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Server/Client CVAR Problems > > > > Unfortunately, I can't use gEngfuncs in shotgun.cpp or crossbow.cpp > > because it isn't defined.
