Sorry if I wasn't clear, this is for a server-plugin. We don't have access to those headers without dependency hell.

Have you taken a look at the programmer's documention for network messenging? They describe in pretty good detail more than once how to create user messages, both in general and specifically for HUD elements. No where do you ever touch a bf_write, you make use of the classic WRITE_BYTE, etc.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Please, I just spent four hours trying and I can't figure out how to make a usermessage.
I want to get_type for a text message using usermessage->get_type(const char ) or something like that, then I want to fill the buffer with a few things (bytes, floats, etc) and then MessageEnd().
I can do the first two (UserMessageBegin(), MessageEnd()) via the engine interface easily enough but how do you fill the buffer? I tried messing around with bf_write, now I feel suicidal..
I also can't figure out how to set the thing up to allow you to query the type (int) of a usermessage (char)? I see the code and I tried just moving it all around but ended up with 6 unresolved symbols and the strings holding it all together started to come apart and now I can't even remember what the logic was with copying stuff out of the headers.. ?
If you don't know the answer and think a trip though the SDK will allow you to figure it out then I advise you to stop now, you will regret it if you do. --
