Yes, I've fully compiled both DLLs. As for the models, they show the different hitboxes, also I can grab the entity's CBaseAnimating and iterate through the hitboxes. So I know they are there.
The problem is that the enginetrace, is done via the engine (hence the name.) So I have no way of knowing how it's checking for the hitboxes, or altering the code in question. It really makes no sense to me why it returns the hitbox/hitgroup as 0. Anyway, thanks for the input.
