Just a quick update. Found the appropriate value to use. Change gpGlobals->frametime in this line: speed = (float)yawSpeed * gpGlobals->frametime * 10; to 0.035.
It produces the correct [30fps mark] for when half-life was first launched. Or simply: speed = (float)yawSpeed * 0.35; Now monsters turn at the correct speed, regardless of the server's framerate!
