This looks much improved, thanks a lot, Alfred!
Just one minor question: what happens if a client has a cvar set to "Bad
CVAR request" :)

> We have updated the client CVAR query interface in Half-Life 1 with two

> The enginefuncs_t structure has had this function added to the end:
> void (*pfnQueryClientCvarValue2)( const edict_t *player, const
> char *cvarName, int requestID );
>
> It will query a cvar value from a player and return to you the supplied
> requestID on success (or failure).

> The response is sent to a pfnCvarValue2 callback in the
> NEW_DLL_FUNCTIONS structure, its full definition is:
> typedef struct
> {
> // Called right before the object's memory is freed.
> // Calls its destructor.
> void (*pfnOnFreeEntPrivateData)(edict_t
> *pEnt);
> void (*pfnGameShutdown)(void);
> int (*pfnShouldCollide)( edict_t
> *pentTouched, edict_t *pentOther );
> void (*pfnCvarValue)( const edict_t *pEnt,
> const char *value );
> void (*pfnCvarValue2)( const edict_t *pEnt,
> int requestID, const char *cvarName, const char *value );
> } NEW_DLL_FUNCTIONS;
>
> When the pfnQueryClientCvarValue2() completes it will call
> pfnCvarValue2() with the request ID you supplied earlier, the name of
> the cvar you requested and the value of that cvar. On failure (i.e that
> user is not connected or the cvar does not exist) the value of the
> returned cvar will be "Bad CVAR request". If you specify an invalid
> player edict you will get "Bad Player" as the value response.
