Avoid the Win32 API if you can.
You have two alternative options. Option 1: squarely laugh at the Valve
programmer who tried to prevent you from doing this (quote: "ALL of
these should be protected, but one man can only accomplish so much in
one day AND work on features too") and use the following:
#undef time
Option 2: do the following.
struct tm wtf;
VCRHook_LocalTime(&wtf);
// do evil things with wtf here
Look into your C library's "time.h" (probably in the Platform SDK or
Visual Studio headers) how "struct tm" is defined.
Good luck.

Hi, I wanted to get the local time of the system to save a file with
that
data but noticed time() shouldn't be used (USE_VCR_MODE), so what's the
alternate way to get the value?, couldn't find any alternate call.
GetLocalTime()?
SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTime( &st );
int Year = st.wYear;
int Month = st.wMonth;
int DayOfWeek = st.wDayOfWeek;
int Day = st.wDay;
int Hour = st.wHour;
int Min = st.wMinute;
int Sec = st.wSecond;
int MSec = st.wMilliseconds;
...then sprintf() it to a string to be printed out or used as a filename.
