Well, do you want to do this with a specially modified hl.dll, or do you want to use something like metamod, i.e., something that can go "on top of" already existing mods? Either way, you need to look into interprocess communication (such as socket communication, named pipes, etc.), so that you can communicate with either the game dll or a metamod-type dll.

First of all thx for the answer ! Here is my real question i will try to change it :) Q: I looked many forums/newsgroups about the Hl programming client/server side and i looked the metamod too but its not my real question, My question is: I would like to create a EXTERNAL (No depending the HAlf-life) program that will allow me to print a message to the Hl/HL mod console, some ppl are talking about the "DLL injection method" and Som1 ppl talk about the client.dll call fonctions i really don't know what they meen and i would like to find a good example/tutorial/source code that will let me to simply : When i execute the 'Myprogram.exe' it prints on the HL/HL mod console "Hello" :), I got the sdk2.3 and vc++ 6.0 and Dev c++ 4.x and gcc under linux, and no i don't want to execute commands with rcon :) Best Regards David.
