Dear Drak,
Yes, you can use VGUI1 in HL1 third party mods. Several of Valve's native mods use a VGUI2 GoldSrc version (a earlier stage / branch of that one used in the Source engine), you could use that theoretically too, however the interfaces are not public. In some of those mods (i.e. Counter-Strike 1.6) the VGUI1 is not available (the GamePanel has not actiavated this function), however for third party mods (and HL1) it should be enabled afaik. I suggest you first update your hlsdk to hlsdk-p3, available on http://metamod.org/ You need to include ( hlsdk\multiplayer\utils\vgui ) the required headers and link ( hlsdk\multiplayer\utils\vgui\lib\win32_vc6\vgui.lib ) the library to your project. Look into the hlsdk\multiplayer\cl_dll\vgui_* source and header files for examples how to use it.
