-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi,
We actually figured out how to change directories by using the __FILE__ macro, and some of the features of std::string, which can find the last of a character (the backslash). -------------------- What we'd like to do now is punish a bad answer from the player by throwing him backward, in the opposite direction he is facing; sort of like adding a direction/velocity vector. If you can help with that, it would help us tremendously. I'm sorry about the scattershot questions... I promise this will be the last one (for today :)) Chad ---------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [hlcoders] Changing filepaths > Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 11:39:09 -0700 > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > > Greetz again, > > > Thank you for the great help on the client->server messaging (using > ClientCmd()).
